Did someone say dodgeball for a cause? Today our Service Learning classes hosted a spirited dodgeball tournament and raised money for Mechanics of Faith — an amazing organization that gives mechanical help to veterans and community members in need.
Huge thanks to all the students, staff, and supporters who played, cheered, and donated. Your energy turned a fun game into real community impact!

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.

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!

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.
