Real-world learning takes shape in our schools. Our Kellogg students traded their normal physical education gear for firefighter training equipment thanks to the Rochester Fire Department. Working together to roll tires, lift a training dummy, and handle real tools, students dug deep—pushing their physical limits while gaining a deeper understanding of the strength, teamwork, and preparation required in this vital career.





We’re excited to welcome students and families back after break! A new semester brings important dates, special events, and great opportunities to get involved. Be sure to check out what’s coming up and mark your calendars—we can’t wait to kick off a strong return to school together.





❄️ Cheering our way into Winter Break! ❄️
