They will perform three pieces all by themselves on the big stage, including the World Premiere of their very own spiritual, “Sing All Along the Way!” by Dr. Brandon Waddles.

This week, the Choir had the honor of meeting and singing for renowned Choral Conductor Dr. Jeffery Redding, who will rehearse and conduct the mass choir in New York. The Choir will be supported by Scott Hayward (Assistant Director) and Jared Adamson (Collaborative Pianist).

This week, Kings resident and Owner of Trella 3D Prints, Jeremy Treleven donated a 3D printer to Kings Junior High School Project Lead the Way (PLTW) class. Mr. Trelevan spoke to the class and was so impressed with what the students were doing he wanted to give them an additional 3D printer to help with the program.

Warren County Career Center Superintendent, Rick Smith presented Jeremy with a plaque to recognize him as the March 2022 WCCC Valued Business Partner. KJH PLTW Instructor, Sara Nicholls nominated Jeremy for his support of her students and program.

Ninety-seven freshman and sophomores at Kings High School participated in a day of character development. Be the Difference Day, formerly known as ReDo Day, is a powerful, high-energy program that guides students through a series of experiential learning processes.

Led by a team from Changepoint under the direction of Pete Bryant, along with several KHS staff members and junior student leaders, the students spent time learning and understanding other people's stories and to focus on what they have in common instead of what divides us.

They learned about stereotyping and coping skills for negative emotions. Students had the opportunity to share their stories in a safe and controlled environment. Through these stories, students learned that nobody has a perfect life which helps them build a vision of compassion and empathy.

The overall goals of the program are to embrace diversity, increase personal power and self esteem, to shift negative peer pressure to positive peer support and to eliminate the accepability of bullying and violence. The program is desinged to unite students with members of the school and community and to empower them to carry the themes of the program back to the greater school population.

A special thank you to the Kings High School PTO for providing food for the students.

In order for the Kings Board of Education to attend the Ohio School Boards Southwest Spring Conference and be present when Mr. Belfrom receives his award, the Work Session scheduled for Tuesday, March 8 has been canceled.

The Board will meet on Tuesday, March 15 at 5:30 p.m. for a Combined Work Session and Regular meeting.

Last week was School Resource Officer Week. Students in Sherisse Washington's second-grade class at Kings Mills Elementary School wrote appreciation notes to SRO Trent Barker. 

In return, Deputy Barker stopped by their classroom and talked with the students about outdoor safety and not talking to strangers. Mrs. Washington said, "The icing on the cake were these awesome drawstring bags. It totally made our morning!"
