What a magical week in our cafeterias! 🧙♂️✨
We celebrated National School Breakfast Week with this year’s theme: “The Quest for School Breakfast!” Students went on a delicious adventure each morning, enjoying special menu items like Fairy Apple Monkey Bread, The Wizard’s Waffle, Enchanted Egg Tacos, Princess Peach’s Parfait, and The Dragon’s Donut.
To make things even more exciting, we held a friendly breakfast quest competition between classes at both the elementary and secondary schools to see who could achieve the highest breakfast participation for the week. The winning classes earned a special prize — they get to choose the school menu for a day, picking both breakfast and lunch!
🥇 Elementary Champion: Kindergarten with an incredible 98% participation for the week!
🥇 Secondary Champion: 7th Grade with an impressive 59% participation!
We are so proud of our students for showing up, fueling up, and starting their days the right way. Breakfast helps power learning, improve focus, and keep students energized throughout the day.
Thank you to everyone who joined the quest with us this week. It was a huge success, and we loved seeing so many students enjoying breakfast together. The adventure may be over, but breakfast is served every school day—come join us! 🍎🥞🥛

📢 Exciting New Opportunity for MMK Juniors & Seniors! 📢
Mary M. Knight School District is proud to announce the Pathway to Employment Program — a partnership with the Mason County Economic Development Council designed to help our students take their first confident steps into the workforce.
What is it?
This program connects work-ready juniors and seniors with local employers in our community. Students who complete the certification earn a Pathway to Employment Card that demonstrates they've been verified by their instructors as:
✓ Dependable and punctual
✓ Strong communicators
✓ Team players and leaders
✓ Academically prepared
✓ Professional and ready to work
Why does it matter?
When your student presents this card to a local business, it shows employers they're prepared for interviews and entry-level jobs. It's a competitive advantage that helps students stand out while building real-world experience before graduation.
What will students gain?
Resume-building credentials
Interview practice and confidence
Networking with local employers
Early career exploration
Professional skills that last a lifetime
Students should talk with Mr. Johannes (CTE Director) or Ms. Fisher (School Counselor) to begin the process.
Parents — we encourage you to talk with your student about this opportunity. It's a structured, supportive bridge between education and employment that helps prepare them for life after high school while strengthening our local community.
💼 Together, we're building pathways to success for our students and our community!
For more information, visit the Mary M. Knight website under the CTE tab or contact Garrett Johannes at gjohannes@mmk.wednet.edu

We were excited to welcome Representative Emily Randall to our classrooms, including our CTE programs, during her visit! She showed great interest in our electric school buses, toured our bus garage, and even took a ride on one of our electric buses (all smiles!). We truly appreciate her time, enthusiasm, and interest in visiting the Mary M. Knight School District.
Huge thank you to Deputy Matt Colbenson for taking the time to come out this morning and be such a positive, welcoming presence in our hallways.

We did another Breakfast for Lunch day, featuring homemade biscuits and scratch-made gravy—and it was a hit! 🥐🍽️ The students absolutely loved it. Nothing beats a comforting, homemade meal!
🌽🍔 Fresh, homemade goodness for lunch today!
Today our students enjoyed a meal made with fresh ingredients from start to finish. We served sweet corn on the cob—shucked and cooked to perfection—alongside homemade beef patties, crispy fries, and our fresh salad bar.
One of the best parts? Students loved comparing their burgers and noticing that no two patties looked the same—handmade work at its finest! 👏
