Nothing Is Impossible
A Willy Wonka themed, “Nothing is Impossible” quote is
what you will see on our truancy board this year at KEC. We want to show our students everyday that they can do the impossible, and the first step is showing up. Our Truancy Incentive Program is at it again with challenging students to realize their potential this school year. We are shooting for a school wide 85% or higher attendance rate and we are well on our way. Students are encouraged this year with our mentor groups to help keep their peers accountable by attending school to gain points for an advantage in the WONKA Games that will take place
each Mentoring day (every other Friday).
