✨ First Quarter Smiles from Kellogg Middle School! ✨

Each week, Kellogg staff nominate students who consistently demonstrate what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe—the core expectations of our Comet community. From showing kindness to peers, to going the extra mile in class, to being positive leaders in the hallway, these students stand out in big and small ways.

Students selected for the week are entered into a drawing, and names are celebrated in their homerooms. We’re proud to honor their hard work, their character, and the example they set for others.

Please help us congratulate our first week of outstanding Comets!
