Girls in Grades 2-5 Participated in a Special Service Learning Project

It was a cold Saturday morning, but 21 girls braved the snow and came to school to participate in Career Exploration with the Kalamazoo Chapter of the Ivylettes and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. The girls participated in a discussion about career pathways, their personal goals, and jobs that may fit their personalities and interest. They enjoyed snacks, pizza, and and learning stations. Thank you to all the parents who brought their students out to participate.

Grand Rapids Gold Reading Program

The Grand Rapids Gold Basketball Team is passionate about giving back to the community and I believe this program can be a fun and effective way to encourage students to read both in class and at home. Beginning December 15th-January 5th I am challenging both students and staff to read, read, read!

Challenge Explained

Students and Families: Read at least 6 books between December 15-January 5th. The books can read aloud to your child, with your child, or they can read indepently. Students will write the titles of their books read on the bookmark provided. Color in their books on the bookmarks, and turn it in to receive the link to get FREE Grand Rapids Gold Game tickets for you to attend a Grand Rapids Gold basketball game on January 11th! We can also fill out the link on your behalf once you complete the challenge!

Two KPS School buses have been secured, but families and staff are free to drive thier own vehicles to the game as well. See the flyer below for more details.
