KWHS 2nd-Year Horticulture Class would like to thank the Upper Mattaponi Tribe for inviting us to visit their Tribal Grounds! Students were able to witness first-hand the tribe’s comprehensive plant production processes, and were impressed by the extensive uses Tribal Members derive from every part of the plants they grow.

KWHS will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, December 10th, which is a B day. We're excited to have everyone back in the building!

Greetings! The current weather forecast for Friday morning continues to predict snowfall with up to several inches of accumulation by 8:00 AM, which is likely to create hazardous road conditions for the morning commute. As a result, and with safety in mind, all KWCPS schools and offices will be closed for in-person learning on Friday, December 5. Students will have an asynchronous Flex/Remote Learning day at home. Maintenance/custodial staff will be contacted by their supervisor regarding work hours, if needed. We will continue to monitor weather, road, and facility conditions throughout the day and provide additional updates to families and staff as needed. Have a safe weekend ahead!

Our SODA (Student Organization for Developing Attitudes) students did an awesome job volunteering at the 4th grade Colonial Day celebration today. They spent the day helping out in classrooms while the 4th grade teachers led sessions on colonial life.

The kids loved having them there, and our SODA students jumped right in wherever they were needed. We're so proud of how they represented KWHS!

Hearts, hustle, and teamwork on full display today! ❤️🏀
Vikings vs. Cavaliers brought an unforgettable game where students of all abilities united on the court — playing hard, cheering louder, and showing true sportsmanship. Every pass, every assist, every high-five mattered.

From Budgeting to Buffet!
What a fantastic experience for Ms. Compton's and Mrs. Funai's students! They successfully executed a full Thanksgiving Feast—from start to finish!

This project was a great lesson in practical math and real-world budgeting. The students planned the entire meal, created a shopping list, and stayed within budget while shopping for all the fixings at Food Lion. We are so proud of their teamwork and skills!

The feast was delicious, and it wouldn't have been possible without our wonderful community partners. Thank you so much to Food Lion and Mrs.Yolanda Smith for generously donating the turkey and ham! Your support truly elevated the experience.

In Mrs. Lohr’s class, students are currently studying cell division. Students were tasked to recreate each of the four phases of Mitosis using Oreo Cookies and sprinkles. And of course, got to enjoy their cookies once their lab was completed.

American Education Week is a moment to recognize the full community that supports learning — educators, support staff, administrators, families, and volunteers. Their collective work creates opportunities and shapes futures.

Ever seen a pumpkin explode…for math? 🎃💥
Our ITRT, Mrs. Martin joined forces with Mrs. Parker's Probability & Statistics class to gather data on rubber-band pumpkin explosions — timing, band counts, and the moment of POP! Students turned messy fun into real statistical inquiry: collect, analyze, predict. 📈✨
