Pt. 2 KMS Sliding trip
On Friday our KMS were given the opportunity for a health and recreation day into Shin Pond Village where they got to go sliding and have hot coco. It was a beautiful day to be outside having fun with friends. Thank you to Shin Pond Village for providing hot coco for all the students and for letting us use your groomed sliding trial for the day. More photos to come.

The Freshman Class is reading one of the great classics of American Literature “Bartleby the Scrivener a Story of Wall St.” Written by the Author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville, this short story is set during the chaos of the American Industrial Revolution and market economy. More academic criticism has been written about this short story than any other since its publication in 1853. It is a benchmark story about human alienation, homelessness, and the stubbornness of the human will. A classic indeed ! Bartleby himself is a unique character in all of literature; so much so, that some of our Freshman class waded through the arcane language of the 19th century to write a script for a one act play. Well done Class of 2025.
From Mr. K
Physics lab students demonstrate two types of waves transverse and longitudinal.
Slinkies can be a fun toy, but also a great tool in physics to demonstrate the way two different types of waves travel. Students used slinkies to help them complete a lab comparing the two types of waves. Transverse waves move up and down like
the surface ripples on water, and longitudinal waves travel horizontally like sound waves traveling through air.
