The GKMS drama club students are working on their set for their spring play - Murder on the 518. Performances will be March 7 at 6:30 PM and March 8 at 2:00 PM. About the play, "Red-eye travelers on the westbound 518 are in for a surprise when first one passenger, and then another, mysteriously drop dead right before their eyes — and just as the train is halted by a rock slide in an isolated canyon. Because the pair appears to have been poisoned, anyone and everyone in the train dining car is a suspect! Unable to call for help, the eccentric passengers — including two newlyweds, an astronomy professor, a sports recruiter, a CEO, a movie star, an aspiring musician, and others — try to work together with the waitstaff to find the murderer before they reach their destination and the killer escapes for good! Unfortunately, not everything (or everyone) is as it seems. This family-friendly mystery is sure to keep the audience guessing right up until the train pulls into the station. Hold on tight — Murder on the 518 is quite the ride!"

💌✨ Students in the Impact Club at GKHS spread some love this Valentine’s Day by creating beautiful cards for senior citizens! This is part of a program through State Representative Tony McCombie's office. It's a great way to connect generations and share kindness with our community! 💖 In addition, high school students invited those waiting for buses after school from KES to join in and make cards as well! Such a lovely way to involve even more of our students in spreading joy.

Congratulations to Genoa-Kingston FFA Parli Pro team! Back in December they competed, won and will be moving on to the district competition! Good luck!! What is Parli Pro? Parliamentary procedure is a team leadership development event where the students run a mock meeting for 11 minutes, demonstrating their knowledge of parliamentary procedure. They have to make a motion, do discussions, attempt to dispose of the motion and then after the demonstration answer questions about the rules of parliamentary procedure. They also take a written exam!
