College 101 is an annual Tri M event. They invite recent GHS graduates to share their experience graduating from GHS and their start of college. They covered what to bring, what to leave at home, how to meet new friends, how to become involved in all the opportunities on campus, and resources the colleges provide to help them succeed. Thank you to Jonathan Draeger, Maya Annoye, Preston Bowerman, Nick Peterson, Megan Deml, and Krisha Mistry for the great information they shared.
January 5 was the return of the World’s Largest Pep Band. Alumni, friends, KMS students, parents and even a grandparent joined the pep band for the night. It was great to catch up with the alumni and see the KMS students join in the fun. Even better with a win over Hamilton HS.
January 17 was 8th grade orientation for next year’s freshman class. Tri M members Arlo and Jane were able to follow up with the 8th grade band students to offer their insights and answer questions they had following the orientation.
