SOCCER TEAM VOLUNTEERS AT KMCC!!! A new chapter is taking shape at the KM Community Center and our community is helping to build it together. Members of the KM Boys Varsity Soccer Team traded their cleats for work clothes Friday, and helped prepare the grounds at the Community Center. They moved nearly 50 yards of mulch, weeded, and tackled outdoor projects together.
As this building begins its next chapter, we recognize that this space holds meaningful memories for generations of families. There is something special about seeing students, staff, families, and community members come together to help shape what comes next. Culture is built through people, service, and shared ownership. Friday was a small but meaningful example of that spirit and of a new beginning being built together.
This project would not have been possible without the help of one of our players and his personal landscaping business. He brought his truck and trailer as well as additional wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, and a leaf blower.
