Honored to receive a proclamation from Maryland Governor @iamwesmoore recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month! At @KetteringMiddle, celebrating Hispanic culture and heritage goes beyond one month. It’s part of who we are as a Spanish Immersion school! @Principal_KMSSI

And the winner is Ms. Rawles! She found the most Mr. Green pics hidden throughout KMSSI! In honor of National Principals Month, the Principal Hunt brought plenty of smiles, laughs and school spirit. Ms. Rawles has earned her lunch by finding 101 pics! #principalsmonth

Today, our staff engaged in Equity & Bias professional development session led by Never Stop Learning (NSL). The learning pushed us to reflect on how we show up for ALL students. The work of creating a school where every student feels seen, valued, and supported starts with us.

Happy National Building Services Day! Today, KMSSI celebrated the incredible team that keeps our school running smoothly with lunch, appreciation, and heartfelt words from Principal Green. Thank you for all you do for our students, staff & school community!
