Dear KRS families,
We began Women in History month today with fourth graders announcing information to all students about the creation of Women in History month. On Monday and throughout the month of March, fourth graders will take turns to share the name and a short biography of a famous woman during the morning announcements.
The STEAM Fair on March 13, 2024 is quickly approaching. Please encourage your child to participate. It is a great night full of learning and sharing of STEAM related student discoveries. More information is included in this newsletter.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kathy Koop
