KES Fall Fun...

Students at the elementary school have enjoyed several fun fall activities over the past couple of weeks. First grade students went to visit McKenna's Pumpkin Patch just north of Branson and then had a fun, but chilly time at the park at the Branson Rec Plex.

The PTO sponsored a fall carnival that included lots of activity booths, games and a cakewalk. The carnival king and queen contest started with a rousing competition between classes. Points towards winning the honor are earned through donated cakes, pop and recipes, in addition to cold, hard cash (and checks). Money (bills and checks) will be accepted through Tuesday evening before the coronation between the boys' basketball games. No change will be counted that night.

The Western Taney County Fire Department made its annual visit to teach students about fire safety and allow them to explore the fire truck and take a turn squirting the fire hose.

Then, of course, is the everyday fun on our very own elementary playground. We are having some chilly mornings, so it is a good idea to send or wear a jacket everyday!

Enjoy this Smilebox with a collection of photos from all our recent events.

KMS graphic arts class creates videos

The 7th graders in Ms. Gardner's graphic arts class created stop motion videos by taking many, many still photos and sequencing them to create a story. These videos are short, but entertaining and well worth watching once (and once again.)
