Under the bright lights of Seward's studio, the KCMS news team delivered an energetic broadcast that captured the spirit of Coronado Middle School on September 29, 2025. Anchors Missy Tree and Lily Palmer kicked off the morning with a celebration of local sports, highlighting the Coronado Islander football team's impressive victory over Mara Vista, with a score of 63 to 7 during the homecoming game. The Islanders proudly returned home with the Adrian Tofusu trophy, a testament to their hard work and dedication.

As the broadcast transitioned to school news, excitement filled the air with the announcement of sixth-grade swim week. Students were reminded to bring their swimsuits and towels, ensuring a week of fun and learning in the pool. The Best Buddies Club also made its presence known, inviting members to gather in Mr. Handyside's room for lunch meetings, fostering friendships and inclusivity among students.

The Associated Student Body (ASB) took center stage, with representatives sharing the success of their recent fundraiser. Hudson, Georgia, Michelle, Cole, and Jonathan expressed pride in their peers for raising significant funds, with a friendly competition among classes to see who could raise the most. The winning class would be rewarded with a party, and the results would be announced later in the week.

In a shift to academics, seventh-grade history students shared their studies on Julius Caesar, exploring his rise to power and the political dynamics of ancient Rome. This engaging lesson highlighted the importance of understanding historical figures and their impact on society.

Principal Miss Philard joined the broadcast, addressing the student body with important reminders. She emphasized the need for responsibility in keeping the campus clean, sharing a humorous yet concerning anecdote about a seagull snatching food left on the ground. Her message was clear: students must take ownership of their trash to maintain a beautiful school environment.

Additionally, she informed student-athletes about the procedures for early release for sports, stressing the importance of turning in permission slips and checking out with Miss Marlene. The excitement continued as she announced a "Padre Day" in honor of the San Diego Padres' playoff game, encouraging students to wear their favorite team gear.

As the broadcast wrapped up, the school community came together to celebrate birthdays, wishing Riley Black, Kaylee Owen, and Jada Musos a happy day. The message resonated: as Tritons, students are encouraged to take ownership, act with integrity, and show respect, embodying the values that make Coronado Middle School a vibrant place to learn and grow.
