Anything But a Backpack Guidelines
Students, our first Spirit Week dress-up day is Anything But a Backpack! Please bring your creative item to your 1st-hour class, where it will be counted for Spirit Points. After that, the item will stay in the classroom or in your locker and should not travel with you the rest of the day. As with all Spirit Week themes, make sure your choices follow the KCHS Student Handbook. If you’re ever unsure whether something is appropriate, check with a staff member ahead of time and always err on the side of caution. We’re excited to see your creativity—let’s start Spirit Week strong!
Athletics
Please release the cross country teams at 2:30 today so they can leave at 2:40 for their jamboree at Central Montcalm.
Your Varsity Soccer Eagles took another step toward the CSAA league championship in conference action on Monday night. They welcomed Big Rapids to Ward Memorial Field. The Eagles' strong defense, led by goalkeeper Jesus Pozas, pitched a shutout. Unfortunately, the Eagle offense was unable to find the back of the net and the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The Eagles stay undefeated in conference play with one game remaining. A victory over Lakeview tomorrow night will clinch the championship. Come cheer the Eagles on at 6:00 pm Wednesday at home!
