Dr. Koop's Newsletter

February 10, 2023

Dear KRS Families,

I hope you are well on this gorgeous day! What fun it was this morning to watch the students walk up our hill, with some wearing jerseys, on such a sunny Friday.

Yesterday, the students enjoyed fabulous laser shows! Thank you to the KRS PTO for funding the assemblies and to parent Edith Meyers-Arnold for coordinating the assemblies.

Next Tuesday, we will enjoy our Valentine's Day celebrations. I included information about the special day again in this newsletter.

Also included in this newsletter is information about the KRS STEAM Fair. The STEAM Fair is always an educational, engaging, and fun event. We hope that your child is planning on participating. If you have any questions about the STEAM Fair or about your child's project, please contact STEAM teacher Mrs. Conner at connerl@madisonnjps.org.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Kathy Koop

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming soon and we are super excited to begin planning for such a fun day for your children. Valentine’s Day will be celebrated in all three elementary schools on Tuesday, February 14, 2023. There will be classroom parties and Valentine’s Day cards.

Valentine’s Day Cards - We request that you adhere to the following guidelines:

No candy of any kind may be distributed with the cards.
The cards must be brought to school no later than Friday, February 10, 2023. This will allow for the cards to be distributed before the special day.
If you elect to participate in the Valentine’s Day Card exchange, it is expected that your child gives a card to every classmate.
