Xander Sunday is the first student in our Kelso Middle Schools to pass the MS Excel Certification exam. In fact, this also makes him the first to pass all three, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel, which makes him a “Microsoft Office Specialist – Associate”. Mrs. Hatfield proudly presented Xander his plaque this morning. Great job Xander!

Coweeman students created letters for our local service members this week. They thanked them for their daily dedication to serving others and for their bravery. On the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember that in a time of terror, there is always light.
