KDM faculty, staff, and students participated in the Global Great Kindness Challenge with Spirit Week! Each day we focused on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment at school.





KDM congratulates Students of the Month: Nadia Stambach (Kindergarten) and Macie McOmish (3rd Grade). Nadia prioritizes others, fosters inclusivity, and inspires good choices, embodying true leadership. Macie demonstrates GRIT by assisting friends in need and facing challenges with a big smile and a positive spirit.


Kudos to the KDM PTA for facilitating a wonderful Holiday Boutique. Students were given the opportunity to shop independently for gifts for their loved ones. The PTA ensured there was a variety of options to choose from to help make this holiday season special.


Congratulations to our Spelling Bee Finalists!!!


A big thank you to Phyllis Alpaugh and the Rotary Club of the Rockaways, who generously donated dictionaries to all third graders. Ms. Alpaugh had students look up the word "community" in their dictionaries and made it a real concept for them.






KDM students participated in the Week of Respect. Students wore themed clothing days every day culminating with 'Being Respectful Is No Sweat'. Students wore comfortable clothes/ sweats. Take a look!



A great time was had by all at the KDM PTA Candy Bar Bingo! We had over 100 family members and friends for a fun night of games and treats!








Congratulations and thank you to KDM 4th grader, Isabella LoCastro, and her parents, Yesenia Budhai and Frank LoCastro.They donated over 1,100 pairs of brand new socks for our "Socks for the Homeless" Initiative! Isabella and her family's generosity will impact so many lives. Together, the KDM community donated over 2,000 pairs of socks!




KDM PTA parents decorated the school and made a most memorable first day! Thank you, Tim and Daniele Ayers, Lauren and Brigham Farrand, Janelle Lauterbach, Eileen Saunders, Anya Tayts, Kristina Tromp, and Megan Yarosh.
