Volunteer Opportunities
The High School is looking for volunteers to help with Concessions. If you are interested please click on this LINK. You don’t need to have a highschooler in order to work in the high school’s concession stands – as a matter of fact – the next 3 track meets are middle school track meets! Volunteers can pick their times they can work. While we love when they work the whole shift, we understand that there is still life going on outside the concession stand walls – so even just an hour is super helpful!

Staff Appreciation
Kenowa Hills Middle School Families! Staff Appreciation Week is just around the corner May 5–9—and we’re kicking things off with a delicious taco bar lunch for our amazing staff on Monday, May 5! We’d love your help in making this a special and memorable meal. If you’re able, please consider signing up to bring an item. We’re planning to serve approximately 80 staff members, so generous portions are always appreciated! 

Date: Monday, May 5
Drop-off Time: Please have all items at the MiddleSchool by 9:00 AM

Thank you for your continued support in showing our staff just how valued and appreciated they are! Sign-up Link.
