KMS just has GREAT kids! 🖤💛
This week, Mrs. Cohn's classes took time to spread some kindness by writing MAP testing encouragement notes to our awesome friends at South Elementary!
These thoughtful messages were full of motivation, support, and sweet words to help boost confidence and calm nerves during testing.
Way to go, KMS students — your kindness makes a difference!
Good luck, South Elementary! You’ve got this!

A beautiful day for an egg hunt!
