KCS Community Connection
We love to learn together!
Principal's Message ~ November 6, 2026
Last week, we hosted our annual Book-o-ween Parade and had a fabulous turnout. We are grateful to have such an involved school community and blessed that so many of you could join us for this amazing event.
Next week, we are hosting our Family House Challenge Night for students in grades 3-5 on Tuesday night, 5:00-6:30 PM. Last year was our first year with this event, but I believe it is becoming a new beloved tradition. We hope that you and your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader can join us for some house challenge fun.
Smiles,
Karen Bubar,
Principal
