Hello KMMS families,


“It is a great day to be a Laser… when we are treating people well,” can be heard on our announcements each Friday from either myself or Ms. Lloyd. In the spirit of Thanksgiving coming up, as well as recognizing and appreciating the great things happening in our community (Go Lasers!), Ms. Lloyd’s message this morning focused on gratitude. Here are some strategies she suggested to students to personify a mindset of gratitude:

  • Say ‘Thank You’
  • Acknowledge Other People’s Efforts
  • Develop A Positive Mindset
  • Volunteer And Give Back

A positive mindset goes a long way in how we relate to others and how we treat them. I find that I have to be intentional to maintain a positive mindset and remain grateful. The book Effortless by Greg McKeon speaks to the power of gratitude and offers a great strategy. Greg suggests following each complaint you make with a statement of gratitude. Here it goes…


“While it seems very early in the year to have all of this snow and it is quite windy and cold today… I am thankful to live in a state that has four beautiful seasons.”


Stay warm and have a great weekend,


Matt Kitzerow

Heavenly Young Ladies


These KMMS Students have big hearts and big ideas!


Shout Out to Zoey P and Jolie K for their service to the community and for being featured on the NBC Nightly News Kids' Edition. These two KMMS students have formed a meaningful friendship around helping others.

They volunteer for Heavenly Babies packing shower gifts for mothers who may not be in a position to fully celebrate this joyous occasion.

Yearbook Order Link Coming Soon


Keep your eyes open for upcoming information about ordering a KMMS yearbook for your student(s). KMMS yearbooks are NOT pre-ordered through Infinite Campus or our school office.

Learning Lab - Mon-Wed @ KMMS


Learning Lab meets in the library right after school until 4:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The purpose of Learning Lab is to give students a chance to get their homework done in a quiet, safe, supervised place after school. You do not need to sign up ahead of time - just show up! If you are still in the building after school, it is expected that you are in an activity like Learning Lab, and that you are participating and getting work done!
