The power of influence is at the core of Kenwood Middle School’s newest initiative, Power Mondays. With a focus on student motivation, the program brings in guest speakers who share their testimony each week. Power Mondays provide a real-world conversation about setting goals, staying inspired, and making choices.

Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Isaiah Shane Brown is a senior at Montgomery Central High School who has a heart for his community. He took the initiative to collect resources and prepare 313 hygiene bags for the Family in Transition office’s local families. Through the pandemic, Isaiah spent time fundraising and purchasing items to be included in the bags. He asked the community for donations and partnered with local organizations to spread the word. These bags will be used for FIT students in need across the district, from elementary to high school. The bags have been prepared in sections, with specific items included for elementary children, teen girls, and teen boys. At times it became difficult to receive donations, but Isaiah never gave up on his mission. Isaiah is a true example of a student who is positively contributing to CMCSS and the community.

Thank you to our educational assistants.
