KCS Community Connection

November is a great time of year to take stock and express gratitude. So, I'd like to share how grateful we are for the many partnerships with community organizations that allow us to do all that we do for our students. KCS PTA and the Community Gourmet are just a couple of examples of those organizations who partner with us in a variety of ways to support our school, students, and families.

KCS Swag Store... Who has been waiting for another opportunity to purchase some KCS Swag? Well, here's your chance. Thanks to KCS PTA, you can buy KCS items between now and Nov 24th at this link. There's a shirt style for everyone. Looking forward to seeing some new swag at our upcoming school events. Also, KCS PTA is hosting the fall play... see details below.

Message from our school counselor: Community Gourmet is a very appreciated partner with our school. The weekly food support they provide to families in need not only lifts a burden from caregivers, but also helps to ensure our students are getting the food they need through the weekend to stay healthy and ready to learn when they return to school on Monday. We love this efficient way to ensure that food is going directly home and the impact it has on easing food insecurity in our district. Thank you for all you do!

Smiles,

Karen Bubar,

It's time to start thinking about planning our annual Celebration Day. At this time, we are looking at the afternoon of Monday, December 21st for our activities. Classes will travel through a rotation of five or six activities that are approximately 20 minutes long. Students will share about their learning and experience at a full school Morning Meeting the following day, December 22nd.

Over the years, this event has encompassed many different aspects for our school community. For years, we engaged students in learning about different cultural holidays. That has morphed into learning about cultural traditions, not necessarily holiday-specific activities. We've included crafts, movement, and even community service projects at times. Most recently, we've been thoughtful about ensuring that KCS family members and/or community members have helped us to plan any culturally relevant traditions to ensure that the activities are appropriate and respectful of different cultures.

If you would like to share a cultural tradition with our school community, we would love to talk with you! Please, consider helping us to plan this wonderful event. Your level of commitment can be minimal or extensive, depending on your own desire. If you know of someone who might be able to help us to diversify our cultural activities for this event, please pass along our desire to talk with them too. Feel free to even forward our email with a link to this form.

Please, submit this form by Friday, November 20th to allow us time to plan accordingly.

(If you're interested in volunteering for this event, but don't want to lead a session, I'll be sending out a different form requesting volunteers after Thanksgiving.)
