Build a Better World
7th grade students spread positivity throughout the district today with their uplifting messages!
Build a Better World Day
The KFMS 5th grade classes spent the last week painting "Kindness" rocks that they scattered all over town for people to find. This act of service and kindness touch on two of our core habits in the KFMS school goal: At KFMS we demonstrate kindness, responsibility, and teamwork, increasing our sense of belonging, growth mindset, and the value service plays in our lives, schools, and community.
8th grade students are serving Kettle Falls on Build a Better World Day by cleaning up the KF.
5th grade students are enjoying the new math curriculum that was adopted by KFMS this year. Students are practicing dividing fractions with a BINGO game.
KFMS students celebrated Autism Awareness Month with a grade level completion. Mrs. Burke visited the school and taught students about students with Autism and the challenges that they face at an all school assembly. The Friday before the 2nd annual community walk, the students at KFMS completed as many laps as possible around the track during their PE/Art time. The 7th grade class came in first by completing 597 laps for a total of 149.25 miles. Congrats to them for bragging rights for the next year!
WE DID IT! KFMS is a cell-phone free zone from 8:10- 2:40. We have been talking about this for years and we finally had enough adult support at recess to do it! Students are able to use the office phone to call home if needed during the day. It is great to see the students playing games and talking with each other without cell phones in their hands!
The KFMS 7th Grade Math is Cool Team traveled to Moses Lake last month to compete in the Masters Competition. The team didn't return with any rewards but competed well against the top 11 seventh grade teams in Washington state. They spent some time on their way there at the Colville High School Electronics lab using various components to build circuits. Congrats to the Bulldog Mathletes on their successful season!

Mrs. Read hosts an after school Homework Club four days a week for KFMS students. It gives students time to make up missing work or meet with a teacher for some extra help. The 6th grade students have the best attendance for this voluntary club. We are proud of their commitment to showing responsibility and growth mindset. Our KFMS goal: At KFMS we demonstrate kindness, responsibility, and teamwork, increasing our sense of belonging, growth mindset, and the value service plays in our lives, schools, and community.
KFMS Science students experimented with designing, creating, and testing out water filters.

Our middle school-aged robotics team the RoboDogs has had a great season winning awards in regional and state-level competitions. Because of their success, the RoboDogs have been selected to represent Washington at the Western Edge FIRST LEGO Open in Long Beach, California. 90 teams from across the United States will head to the 3-day competition in late May. It’s a tremendous opportunity for these kids and our community, through months of hard work they’ve proven they have what it takes to compete at a top level.
Each year in mid-August a new game is released with unique challenges that a robot must complete autonomously to score points. The team has to develop an overall strategy for the game, individual techniques for points, build a robot, develop various attachments, and program the whole thing. Once that’s done, they practice the game, finding areas for improvement and re-design. At the same time, they complete a research project and prepare 2 presentations that they are also judged on. The team did well enough across all these categories to win the opportunity to move on to the national level. For more information: www.kettlerobotics.com
Mr. Kroiss and crew took the 8th grade class on their annual trip to 49 Degrees North. It was a beautiful day and kids and staff reported that everyone had a great time!
