KAES Keenections

Pursuing the Joy of Salvation, Knowledge, Leadership, and Community

Today we celebrated Christmas in our classrooms. Students had fun playing Christmas games, exchanging gifts, crafting, and reading Christmas stories. I even saw one class have a Christmas piñata. If it wasn't for the lack of snow, I would say it was a perfect Christmas day. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

Merry Christmas!

As you enjoy your Christmas break, don't forget to sell our KAES Booster Cards. We have raised about $6000 toward our middle school ninja course playground. We need your help to get this project completed. If every student can sell 10 cards, we can reach our goal. We do have small prizes to encourage our kids on the chart below, but our real goal is the playground. And remember if you're in eigth grade, this is a great opportunity to "pass it forward" and invest in those that come after you. What a wonderful gift!

Congratulations to Mrs. Shockey for completing her Masters in Education this week. We are so proud of her. Glad our kids get to learn from you. Interesting fact, Mrs. Shockey went to school at KAES and Mrs. Just taught her in PreKindergarten, then went on to guide her as a teacher in training and now they are colleagues and work together at KAES. Our KAES family is always growing and we are proud to celebrate this milestones together.

A big thank you to our Home and School team of parents. This morning they were here earlier than everyone to provide a special breakfast for our teachers. It was amazing to see and taste.
