Kid's Don't Float
The KPBSD Migrant Education Program has partnered with the State of Alaska Kids Don’t Float Program to provide life saving, water safety skills to our students. Kids Don't Float (KDF) is a statewide injury prevention program that was developed to address Alaska's high child and youth drowning rate.
This event is for grades K-6 (kids do not have to know how to swim).

Migrant Ed is excited to partner with schools & bookstores to bring reading opportunities to students! Some schools will have book fairs during parent-teacher conferences, while others will not. If your school will have a book fair, we are working with our librarians to ensure they know about our programming. Migrant Ed can purchase up to $30.00 worth of books for each Migrant Ed student. If your school does not have a book fair or you miss it, student names will be on file at your local bookstore from October 21 until November 9. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
