- 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.
- Special Ed 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.
- Special Ed Field Day: The Special Ed Field Day is an annual Mane Link event for Special Education students all over Cobb County that are in Elementary, Middle, and High School.
