Our 3rd graders have been busy learning all about the three branches of government — legislative, executive, and judicial! To make it extra fun, they turned their learning into a little craftivity, showing how each branch helps keep our government balanced. We love seeing learning come to life in creative ways! #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3

In September, our focus was on Integrity! Our students showed us what it means to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. From helping a friend, cleaning up a mess, or following expectations, we saw so many wonderful examples of integrity throughout the month. Here are some examples of how some students showed integrity. #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3 💙🐬

Please note: This is a prepay site, and ordering will close at midnight on Picture Day so that orders can be processed. If a parent misses the prepay window, they will still have an opportunity to order using their child’s Ticket Code.

When placing an order after Picture Day with a Ticket Code, a shipping fee will apply, and picture packages will be mailed directly to the home. Ticket Codes will be included with the bulk picture package order, which is typically delivered to the school about three weeks after Picture Day.
