KHS/SFHS Weekly Newsletter October 23 - October 29, 2026

Dear KHS/SFHS Families, 

I wanted to share a few safety updates regarding school traffic:

Starting today, the school zone flashing lights for 20 mph will run from 10:30 am to 11:25 am through lunch and intervention. Thank you to ACHD for fulfilling this request to improve safety around our parking lot exits and entrances during intervention and lunch times!  Students should exit slowly, watch for pedestrians, and be patient, as exiting from KHS takes about 12-14 minutes.  

Additionally, Mrs. Lovelady is working with ACHD to make sure proper signage is posted and look at a possible flashing light installation for Swan Falls High on Linder Road.  These improvements will help with the increased traffic on Linder Road from the new Whisper Meadows neighborhood. When they exit out of Swan Falls, please ensure they wait single-file rather than double-file, double-turning, or cutting through the neighborhood to make U-turns.  As a reference, exiting from Swan Falls takes about 8-9 minutes.

We could also use your help with our student drivers. Please remind them to be patient, slow down, and drive safely when exiting either school. If you could discuss this with your student, it would be much appreciated. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our kids safe!

We also feature teacher spotlights on Mr. O’Leary’s narrative literature projects and Mr. Adolfson’s hands-on physics experiments, along with details on upcoming community events like the Veterans Day Assembly, NHS "Rake Up Kuna," the Kuna FFA Supplies Drive, the Feastmode Fun Run, ITD's "Name a Snowplow" contest, essential voting and election info, and important milestones on the Senior Timeline.

Have a great week,

In Mr. O'Leary's English classes, students are diving deep into narrative structures and character development across different grade levels. His ninth-grade students recently explored "The Hero's Journey," applying its twelve-step process to their favorite books and movies through creative poster presentations. Meanwhile, his tenth graders examined the process of enlightenment, designing visual representations to map out how beloved characters achieved self-discovery and enlightenment. Both projects showcase the continuous dedication and high-quality effort his students bring to their coursework each week. 

Welcome to Mr. Adolfson’s Science Class at KHS, where learning isn’t just about sitting at a desk—it’s full-throttle action!

Right now, students are diving headfirst into Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion and launching into an epic Projectile Lab! Instead of just filling up notebooks with endless notes, they are putting physics to the test: calculating trajectories, analyzing forces, and watching science come alive right before their eyes. Whether it's launching objects through the air or uncovering the forces that drive our universe, Mr. Adolfson makes sure science is hands-on, high-energy, and completely unforgettable!
