  • Kaylyn Waki was chosen as the KCB STAFF OF THE WEEK!  Congrats Kaylyn and thank you all for continuing to reinforce our 8 character traits. 
  • Kudos to Kaylyn Waki and her advisory students for taking home the gold in the character videos for 7th grade!  Kudos to Andrea Hancock's advisory with a close second!  
  • Kudos to Dustan Eckmann and your advisory on their character video - the acting was unbelievable - Mr. Eckmann's advisory took 1st place for acting.  And kudos to Mike Jones for taking the gold in 8th grade for your advisory video which truly demonstrated The Karcher Way - Karcher is our home :)  
  • AND... kudos to all staff and students for your work with the videos.  I had heard from a  few that it was trying at times but the end result and the purpose/goal behind the activity was great to see!  Perhaps some tweaks moving forward can take place as we always work towards refinement of how things are done.  
  • Kudos to Kim Moss and Marian Hancock for sitting in on the Skyward scheduling training we had on March 24.  I think I learned everything I ever want to know about scheduling... we are in a very good place with the "button" pushed and some minor clean up to do for the 2017-2018 student schedules.  The goal was to have the button pushed by April :)
  • I hope you all had the ability to relax and re-energize a bit over this past week!!!
