Good evening, KC Families, KCMS Badger News, 01/19/26, https://tinyurl.com/2mpjxy25, See you tomorrow!
From spirit days to special milestones, our principals and administrators go above and beyond for their school communities. Thank you for the heart, leadership, and dedication you bring every day. 💜
🌟 Principal & Administrator Appreciation Week 🌟
Our schools don’t run without strong leadership—and we are incredibly grateful for our principals, assistant principals and directors who show up every day for students, staff, and families.
From problem-solving and relationship-building to supporting learning and school culture, their work often happens behind the scenes—but the impact is felt everywhere.
