KAES Keenections

A huge thank you to our amazing 8th grade class for leading this spring’s Week of Worship, and to all the students who helped make it so meaningful! It’s always inspiring to see how God works through our young people to bless our entire school community.

This week we explored the incredible stories of our Adventist pioneers, how God used them to help shape the early church, and how He continues to use us today. If you missed any of the worships, you can still experience them online through the Keene Church Facebook or YouTube pages.

We may not know the exact time of Jesus’ return, but one thing is clear: "The Hour Draws Near."

We want to share that Mrs. Iverson (our 3rd grade teacher) and her family will be relocating, and while we are certainly going to miss them, we are incredibly grateful for the time and dedication she has given to KAES.

Mrs. Iverson has served in at least four different roles during her time here, always with a heart for her students and a passion for Christian education. She has made a lasting impact on both her 3rd and 4th grade students, and on our school as a whole.

Though we are sad to see her go, we remain hopeful that God might lead her path back to Keene in the future. Until then, we’ll be praying for His continued guidance and blessings on the Iverson family.

We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Sarah Coulter will be joining our teaching staff as the new 3rd Grade Classroom Teacher for the 2025–2026 school year!

Mrs. Coulter is no stranger to our school community—many already know her through her active involvement in our church, school events, and broader community life. Her heartfelt dedication to children and families has made a lasting impression, and we are delighted to welcome her into this vital role.

Bringing a strong background in education and a genuine passion for nurturing young learners, Mrs. Coulter is especially devoted to helping students grow into confident readers and writers. Her dynamic approach, coupled with a warm and creative spirit, promises to enrich our classrooms and inspire those she teaches.

We are excited for the energy, insight, and compassion Mrs. Coulter will bring to our team. Please join us in warmly welcoming her to our school family!

We’re excited to see registrations already coming in for the upcoming school year—it’s such a joy to welcome both new and returning families!

Don’t forget: You can still save $50 per child when you complete the full registration process by May 31. The process is quick—just about 15 minutes if you have your documents ready to upload.

Need help or have questions? Our team is here and happy to assist you every step of the way. We look forward to partnering with your family for another fantastic year! Give us a call at 817-645-9125.

If you are a KAES parent or guardian, you are invited to our constituency meeting on Thursday, May 8 at 6:30pm. We really hope you will be able to join us. We will present highlights of our school year and furture plans at KAES.

Have you heard we are having a teacher derby? That's right! On May 9th, as we end Teacher Appreciation Week, our amazing teachers will sport their favorite blow up costumes and race each other through a variety of obstacles. It's going to be fun! To support their brave efforts, we are asking if you would donate as you are able to this FUNdraiser. Funds will go to support teachers do more things in their classrooms.

KAES teachers are out of this world awesome! That's why we will be celebrating them starting May 9. Take a look at the plans we have for them. We welcome you to help celebrate your child's teacher.

We are excited to be gathering volunteers for the KEENE VBS which will be June 1-5! If you are able to volunteer in ANY capacity it will be appreciated!
