PROSTART CULINARY CLASS VISITS 3RD STREET MARKET HALL!!! Mr. Omar Shaikh, owner of the food hall, provided students with a guided tour, allowing them to explore the various culinary offerings and learn about the different cuisines available. The trip's highlight was the opportunity to play the golf simulator, which added an exciting and interactive element to the visit. Additionally, students enjoyed having lunch at the market. It provided them with a chance to sample a diverse range of delicious food options and broaden their culinary horizons. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the students were able to immerse themselves in the bustling food hall environment. We even had the opportunity to experience the biggest mozzarella stick from Makk Daddys. Thank you to everyone who facilitated this visit!

“FOREVER LOVE IT” SUPPORTS THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES! Bobby Heckel believes every child deserves the chance to enjoy the joy and benefits of sports, regardless of their ability. His passionate belief stems from his grandmother Ila’s profound love and persistent support for him as she helped him learn to walk, talk, and develop to the point where he could play sports, something he had always dreamed of despite his cerebral palsy. Yesterday, a 50/50 raffle was held at a Dockhounds game, and the raffle winner was a KM family whose son played baseball at KMHS. They chose to support Adaptive PhyEd at KMHS with their $400 winnings! THANK YOU Bobby and our winning KM Family!
