Happy Principal’s Day to our amazing Principal Strother! Your dedication to KMSSI never goes unnoticed. We are so grateful for all you do. Enjoy your special day—you deserve it!

I’m ALWAYS honored and humbled to serve my school community & make sure we have everything we need. It’s been a rough week, but the love and appreciation from my staff makes it all worth it. WE ARE KETTERING! WE GOT THIS! IN FULL BLOOM! Thank you so much. I ❤️ my school community

Day 1 of Teacher Appreciation Week at KMSSI was a hit! We kicked things off with a BBQ lunch, games, and some good old-fashioned line dancing. Just a small way to say THANK YOU to the incredible educators who make magic happen every day! #KMSSIShines #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Day 2 of Teacher Appreciation Week was nothing short of glamorous! Our 2nd Annual KMSSI Red Carpet event celebrated our teachers in style—with trophies, plaques, and certificates to honor their excellence. Huge thanks to our amazing PTSA for the red-carpet-worthy spread!

Yesterday we celebrated School Nurse Appreciation Day with our very own Nurse Middleton. We ❤️ you and appreciate all you do for our school community.

Late Post: At Kettering, we believe in celebrating everyone who makes a difference. Last Friday was National Cafeteria Workers Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize our incredible Cafeteria Staff. Learning can’t happen on an empty stomach. Thank you for all you do!

It’s all about that Kettering Pride on this last day of Teacher Appreciation Week! One week can’t express our gratitude for our amazing teachers. Thank you KMSSI Teachers for ALWAYS making it happen. We are who we are, because of YOU!

A “Made To Order” day! Let’s end our Teacher Appreciation Week with some made to order omelets. Thank you teachers for all you do for our students. We are grateful for you.

And just like that….my first of students at KMSSI were promoted tonight. I call them my IN FULL BLOOM group. We are so excited for this class of 2025. They are the face of school transformation and the evidence that this work is real. Congratulations to my babies!

We love our Nurse Middleton! #InFullBloom #TheKetteringWay #WeAreKettering

The last day of school was filled with tears, hugs, and love. For the first time in 3 years no fights or conflicts. Just peace and pride. Over the past 3 years, we’ve transformed. We planted, we grew, & now we’re #InFullBloom. Next year, we’ll be “Rooted & Grounded in Results”.

Rooted and Grounded in Results 🌱 This year, we’re building on the strong foundation we’ve laid over the past three years. We bloomed where we were planted, grew together, and last year, we were in full bloom. Now—it’s time for real results. #KetteringWay #CultivatingExcellence

Rooted and Grounded in Results The KMSSI ADMIN TEAM is fully aligned and ready to continue this AMAZING work.

Opening Day at KMSSI was filled with collaboration, excitement, and urgency setting the tone for a year where we are rooted and grounded in results. We’re on the move for success. Watch us work. #rootedandground #cultivatingexcellence #theketteringway

Today was truly magical! Our staff came together for our very 1st Unity Walk, grounding ourselves in our shared work & purpose. Offsite, we deepened our understanding of Attendance & Discipline through powerful collaboration & returned to campus for a cookout differentiated PD

#RealMenTeach is more than a phrase—it’s a reality. Kettering Middle School is proud to have close to 40 male educators leading instruction this year. 💪🏿 Real Men Teach PGCPS #education #leadership #pgcps #menmakeadifference

This was the smoothest school opening yet! Rooted and Grounded in Results, we launched the year with an incredible start. Our professional learning community is off to a strong beginning, & our job-embedded PLC sessions were truly on point. Special thanks to our student leaders!

A special thank you to our PTSA for organizing “Fathers on the First Day” —Your presence and support made the opening even more meaningful for our students and staff!
