Major Events:

• Homecoming Court: Homecoming Court is comprised of 6 Senior girls, 5 Junior girls, 4 Sophomore girls, and 3 Freshman girls. These girls go through multiple rounds of voting by the student body to determine the court as well as each class favorite and the Homecoming Queen.
• SWAM: Shop with a Mustang is an annual Mane Link event in early December where Kennesaw Mountain students raise money to take children from the surrounding community holiday shopping. Each group of mentors is assigned a child to spend time shopping and picking out clothing and gifts. The event starts early Saturday morning with breakfast, pictures with Santa, and then shopping! All the money used towards SWAM is fundraised by Mane Link, through multiple different fundraisers as well as walking around lunch with donation buckets for students to throw spare change into.
• The Dance: The Dance is an annual event in early March where Special Education students from all around Cobb County come to our school and dance with the KMHS students. Special Education students and KMHS mentors alike look forward to the Dance all year long. 
• Field Day: Field Day is an annual Mane Link event for Special Education students all over Cobb County that are in Elementary, Middle, and High School. We use the track and lower fields at KMHS to set up a variety of outdoor games in which the students can participate. KMHS students, sports, and clubs are invited to sign up as mentors for this event.

Become a Senator:

KMHS students can become Mane Link senators by completing an application in August. Applications can be found at the Mane Link Desk. You can turn the applications into the Mane Link Desk or to Mr. Goodman's classroom, room 218. Senators are expected to attend many Mane Link events and Monday Morning meetings. While becoming a senator is a larger commitment than being a volunteer, it is a great opportunity to help your community.
