100 Days of School!
We celebrated 100 days of learning, growing, and having fun! Our students enjoyed special activities and showed off how much they’ve learned along the way. Here are some examples from Mrs. Arthur's 2nd grade class of their celebration. So proud of them!#KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3

Mrs. Solita's class loves playing Last Shape Wins as an introduction to our geometry unit! This game gets students excited, thinking strategically, and talking all about shapes before we dive deeper into geometry. #KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3

🐬 Distinguished Dolphins 🐬
These students were nominated for showing respect and being great role models in our school. We are so proud of them! Way to shine! 🌟#KMDolphins #MakingWavesAtKM #learnleadsucceedbpd3
