CONWAY — October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and students at Kennett Middle School once again saw the month as an opportunity to do some fundraising.

For a number of years KMS has raised money for a variety of good causes benefitting the Mount Washington Valley, including Jen’s Friends. Kristen Carey, language arts teacher at the middle school, explained students could make a difference by bonding together. She shared if each student at the Conway Village campus gave a quarter a week for the month, they could raise about $250.
