Build a Better World Day
The KFMS 5th grade classes spent the last week painting "Kindness" rocks that they scattered all over town for people to find. This act of service and kindness touch on two of our core habits in the KFMS school goal: At KFMS we demonstrate kindness, responsibility, and teamwork, increasing our sense of belonging, growth mindset, and the value service plays in our lives, schools, and community.
