We can’t wait to see this year’s projects!

Hello, Parents and Students,

The 2024-2025 Science and Learning Fair is getting ready to begin! It is exciting to watch students learn and grow as they present a project of their own design and interest!

All students (K-5th grades) are invited to join and complete an independent/at-home project. All students can conduct an experiment for their project as we have done in the past, but we are also giving students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades the opportunity to complete a Learning Project rather than designing and conducting an experiment (more information below).

Students will be creating a tri-fold poster to display their project. Students can work by themselves or in a team of up to three students from the same grade level.

The first step is simple. I am asking that you complete the Interest Form. (Please note, there are 2 Interest Forms: one for students who are going to conduct an experiment and one for students who will complete a Learning Project. You should only complete ONE of the forms.) The deadline for Interest Forms is November 8th. Links for the forms are located at the very end of this document. Once I receive your Interest Form, I will send home additional information and resources.

The projects will arrive at school on Monday, January 6th. Judging and presentations will take place during that week, and there will be an Open House and Awards Ceremony on Thursday, January 9th at 6:00 pm.

Please email me if you have any questions. I can’t wait to see this year’s projects!

It's time to show some school spirit with our King's Highway Spirit Wear! The online store is open NOW through November 11th. Each clothing item can be custom orders with one of three King's Highway or Coatesville designs.

Orders are due by 11/11/24, and there is no option for late orders.

Place your order TODAY!

We could use a little help. Our school-wide PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) program is a system where students are recognized for showing PRIDE. The Leo Cart is a mobile treasure chest that roams the hallways to pop in and reward students. We would love to have a few parent volunteers help out with the Leo Cart. Spend the day with the Leo Cart or maybe just one grade.

Volunteers need to have clearances on file with the King's Highway main office. Please see the attached letter (below).

Interested in helping out with PBIS? Contact: Ms. Mayan - mayanc@casdschools.org

The King's Highway PTO sponsors a canned food drive for the KH community. Classrooms will race against each other to see who can bring in the most canned food items. For each item brought in, students will get a raffle ticket for a chance to Pie-the-Principal on Monday, November 25th!

Come out for dinner at Texas Roadhouse to support the King's Highway PBIS team. Show the flyer pictured above to the Texas Roadhouse team, and King's Highway will earn 10% of the bill.

Where: Texas Roadhouse 1205 E. Lancaster Ave, Downingtown, PA

When: Wednesday, November 20th, from 4:00 -10:00 PM

The King's Highway Student Safeties, led by Ms. Ollis, visited La Mancha Animal Rescue to learn about the work they do for the community. Students got to see the horses, goats, cat condo, and numerous dogs at the shelter. Part of their volunteer work was to help socialize a few puppies through playtime—a very important job that the King's Highway team took on. In addition to their visit, students collected and donated essential supplies (food, cleaning supplies, towels...) to the shelter.
