🏅 Congratulations to the High School Students of the Month for October! 🏅
Representing the Middle School, as a seventh grader for grades 6/7/8, is Mersadie Miller, daughter of Doug and Laura Miller.
Mersadie likes to keep busy and is active in cross country, basketball, rodeo, golf and now “Battle of the Books” (a new reading program/contest where students compete with other schools).
Mersadie said she is proud of being a part of all the sports and class activities that are opportunities which Kenmare School has to offer.
Through education, Mersadie understands that she needs to be smart and make good decisions so she can get the degree she wants. At this time, Mersadie is looking at a future job of being either a veterinarian or a chiropractor.
Shae Jensen, a sophomore, was selected as the student of the month for the 9th/10th grade. Shae is the daughter of Chuck Jensen. In her spare time, Shae enjoys participating in 4H, Minot Trail Rides and Northern Edge Saddle Club.
While in school, Shae has been a part of the speech team.
Shae is proud of being part of the speech team because it has brought her out of her shell. She did a duo last year and it was a comedy. “We didn’t win, but I got out of my element and learned a lot.”
Education is important to Shae as it is a way to gain a better paying job. “Education shows us the importance of hard work and at the same time helps us to grow.”
Shae’s current goal is for her arm to get better so she can write her own papers. Her next goal would be to make it to State Speech. She also wants to win a buckle in the world of rodeo but her biggest goal would be to gain a chiro/vet equine degree.
Nominated to represent the 11th/12th grade was Gavin Gill. Gavin, a senior. He is the son of Tawnya and Justin Gill.
Gavin has been involved in drama, football and track. “I am proud of getting myself to State in track with some help from coaches and others along the way.”
Gavin feels education is important because of the job opportunities that are available because of a good education. Gavin’s future goal is to become a diesel mechanic.

She brought a fixed-wing drone which was launched by throwing it into the air. Caleb Knutson is seen launching the drone at the Kenmare Golf Course.

📣 Pick Up & Drop Off 📣
Honker Families,
To ensure the safety of our students, please take note of the following requests for pick up and drop off from KPS.
🚘 When picking up and dropping off students, please stay in the right lane until your children have exited/entered the vehicle. This allows other vehicles to exit and keeps the traffic moving smoothly.
Enter and exit the loop slowly! We have had some concerns shared about higher speeds from some vehicles and the threat to students safety when this occurs.
🚘 All parents should pick up and drop off students at the front of the building. Please do not drive behind the school to pick up or drop off your child. Again, this is a safety concern. We have young children playing and running across the road to play on the equipment. There should be no vehicles driving behind the school until the buses have left.
🚘 Lastly, please be patient with other vehicles, pull forward as far as you can to allow others to enter the loop and prevent traffic from backing up onto the street, and do not park your vehicle - if you are waiting in the loop for and extended time to pick up your child, please make sure that you are arriving at a time appropriate for your child’s dismissal time.
Thank you!
👑 Miss North Dakota, Sydney Helgeson, visited with Kenmare Elementary students today. 👑
👸🏻 Sydney spoke to our students about building strong communities together and she even sang us a beautiful rendition of Part of Your World. 👸🏻
