From the Principal: Shining Bright at Kuna Middle School!

Hello Kuna Families and Friends,

What a whirlwind of success we've seen lately! From our students' recent sports and musical events, to the fantastic collaboration on this year’s ISATs, there's so much to celebrate. A big shout-out to all our community volunteers and staff who helped make these moments happen. We're so proud of the hard work and spirit shown as we head towards the year's end!

Looking ahead to the week of May 12th, the energy remains high as we approach the final weeks of the school year. Please encourage your students to finish strong academically and stay informed about important upcoming dates and activities as we wrap up the year. We have several exciting events planned as you will see, and we look forward to celebrating everyone's achievements before summer break!

Partners in Learning,

Shelly Manuel
