Concert on the Lawn was fun for all! We enjoyed one of the last warm Friday nights out on the lawn. The evening began with a fun pocket scavenger hunt where audience members won gift cards for having items like flip phones, a library card, pen drive, can of Diet Coke, checkbook or paperback novel on their person. The 4th and 5th grade chorus kicked off the night with music led by Mr. Tomes. After a first-ever fashion show to introduce the fall/winter spirit wear line, host Dan Scott led students in some hilarious Minute to Win It competitions. Throughout the evening winners were drawn for Ticket To WIn It prizes such as a giant stuffed Chimpanzee, free swim lessons or massages, pottery, the chance to play kickball with Mr. Walkup or shadow Mr. McAllister for the day and $250 gift cards to the Dang Chicks store to name just a few. Our headliners didn't disappoint as Wheel House and Austin McKinnis took the stage and treated everyone to their vocal stylings. We had such a great time that we hope this will become an annual event at KME! We have so many people to thank for making this event such a wonderful reality...to be continued... |

Second graders did an amazing job of researching, creating, and curating KME's first Georgia Regions Museum.
Visitors were led through student-made 3-D renditions of Georgia's swampland, mountains, beaches, and cities. Students created QR codes to scan for additional information, videos, and there was live student narration at each station. We enjoyed our educational trip through Georgia! |
