🖤💡 Blacklight Poetry: Finding Our Voice Through Figurative Language!
Mrs. Cohn’s classes explored figurative language in a creative way today at KMS! Students identified examples and explained their literal meanings—then brought their learning to life by reading poems under black lights and highlighting the figurative language. What a glowing way to make learning shine! ✨💛

📰✨ The KMS 8th grade LAUNCH students had an amazing and meaningful field trip to build on their newspaper writing unit!
These budding journalists teamed up with KHS Tatler students to collaborate on stories and learn what it takes to put together each issue. 📝 Then, they visited the DDD News office, where staff shared valuable lessons about writing headlines, selling ads, designing layouts, and meeting deadlines.
What an awesome real-world experience for our future writers and editors! 💛🖤

🌟✍️ KMS Student Wins National Writing Award! 📚✨
We are thrilled to share that Grace Johnson at Kennett Middle School has been named one of just three national winners in Young Writers USA’s Fight or Flight Creative Writing Competition! 🎉
Grace’s story, Charlie, was chosen out of more than 7,000 entries nationwide for its originality, suspense, and cinematic quality.
Independent judge Mark Grist praised her work:
“Grace, your story is wonderfully eerie and cinematic. CHARLIE is both terrifying and fascinating as a creation, and the ending leaves us with that perfect horror shiver. You make such effective use of short sentences and punctuation to keep the pace tight and the suspense high. A brilliantly crafted horror piece. Well done!”
👏 Grace’s achievement shines a spotlight on her incredible talent, creativity, and dedication to storytelling. We couldn’t be more proud and can’t wait to see what she writes next! 🖤💛
