Kings will participate in our community clean up on April 23. As stewards of the Earth, it is our responsibility to take care of the planet. One way we can do this is by keeping garbage and waste in their proper spots. It's going to be a great day! We can't wait!
Back by popular demand…….we are going to offer our students the opportunity to WIN Spring Raffle Baskets/Boxes which will be selected during the evening of our KG Dance Show (Tuesday, May 5th at CKSS).
**YOU MUST BE PRESENT AT THE DANCE SHOW TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE**
Each classroom is going to partner up with their “buddy” classroom. Every student is encouraged to bring in a new, donated item which will follow the theme of “Nice Weather = Fun Together!” Examples from previous years include: gift cards to the movies, sporting goods, candy, skipping ropes, kites, bubbles, chalk, popcorn, gift cards for restaurants/ice cream shops/groceries/make-up etc. Please do not include any alcoholic beverages and/or gift cards for alcohol as a donation. Collection of items will take place between April 20th - April 24th. Donated items can be sent to school with your child during this timeframe. Collection boxes will be distributed to homeroom classrooms like previous years.
