King Philip students recently raised $850 to fight breast cancer by having a SlimeFest!

More than 25 teachers put their names forth as volunteers to be slimed and students donated 25 cents to vote for their favorite teachers.

KP students cast over 3,000 in one week!

On Monday, Nov. 3, the entire student body turned out to watch student council members slime the Top Ten vote getters: Mrs. Kerelejza, Mrs. Shoemaker, Ms. Burdick, Mr. Duquette, Ms. Pearson, Ms. Ma, Ms. Chouinard, Mr. Troy Jones, Ms. Martucci, and, last but certainly not least, our very own principal, Mrs. Wright!
