KPBSD Migrant Ed Newsletter
May 2024
Another school year has come and gone and we are so thankful to be a part of your students' academic journey. From literacy support and post secondary success to outdoor adventures and water safety, we appreciate the time getting to know and support your families. Please have a safe and wonderful summer and we look forward to hearing all about it during our fall enrollment!
To help fill your shelves with books and opportunities to read, we are holding a summer book fair! Please either contact or visit the Homer Bookstore or River City books from May 15th to June 10th. Migrant student names will be on file at each store, and Migrant Ed children will be able to select $30 in books.
If you are a family who lives outside of the Central Peninsula or Homer Area, please feel free to email River City Books (rivercitybooksak@gmail.com) and place a book order. A Migrant Ed staff person will then mail you your books in June.
In addition, please follow this LINK to upload and share fun summer reading photos with us! Happy summer reading!!
Summer swim lessons are on the horizon!
- Homer
- Homer Area families be on the lookout for an email from Damara in the coming weeks about exact days and times you can sign up for swim lessons through either Kachemak Swim Club or the Bay Club. Migrant Ed can pay for one 4-6 week session for each eligible student who can commit to a set of swim lessons over the summer. Space will be limited so please register early once the schedules are made public.

- Registration for Skyview begins in person, May 20th, at 9 am. Migrant Ed can pay for one session of swim lessons. Migrant Ed families will be responsible for registering their children, and these swim lessons are also available to the public, so space is limited. Skyview will have a list of Migrant Ed students, and will bill Migrant Ed directly.
- Seward HS Pool

Migrant Ed families will be responsible for registering their children, and these swim lessons are also available to the public, so space is limited.

Ninilchik Wilderness Explorers enjoyed a sunny, but blustery day on the beach, and at the Ninilchik View Campground. We took time to explore the beach at mid-tide, the retreated to the calmer campground to work on our campfire cooking skills! Moose stew and apple crisp over the campfire was enjoyed by all! Thank you to our fearless leader, Tania Spurkland, for organizing and preparing for this wonderful local adventure.
