KME PTO Blog Blast 9/16/13

Check out all of the reminders from the KME PTO!

Picture Day


Our school picture day is tomorrow, Tuesday, September 17. Make sure that your children bring their smiles!

KME Walk-A-Thon


Time to lace up those gym shoes! The annual KME Walk-A-Thon will take place on Friday, September 27, 2013. Kindergarten will walk at 10:00 am and the other grades will walk as follows:  First Grade -- 1:30 pm; Second Grade -- 1:45 pm; Third Grade -- 2:15 pm and Fourth Grade -- 2:30 pm. We would love for you to come and join your child for the walk and if you are interested, please email Jennifer Adams at Mamajen00@yahoo.com for volunteer opportunities.

This is our largest fundraiser for the fall! Instead of selling items, we would like each child to try to raise $30. This money will go to fund all of our amazing PTO activities that we provide to your children! Last year, we raised over $12,500 and we would love to beat that for this year!!  Look for the donation envelopes that have come home -- they are due back to school by September 27, 2013.

Volunteers/Donations Needed



  • We are in need of new or gently used games and puzzles (please make sure that all pieces are included) for students to use during indoor recess. If you would like to donate, please send them to school with your child.
  • WKME is looking for some volunteers interested in helping the world of school news come to KME! Please contact Alicia Brockwell at alicia_buckley_brockwell@yahoo.com.
