Happy New Year KME Families!!

Hope that you had a wonderful winter break and remember -- school starts Monday, January 6!! Also, please keep these important PTO reminders in mind....

Teacher Appreciation


We are in the final stretch of gathering items needed for the teacher "classroom bags" that will be given to them on Monday morning. If you can help with any donations, please click on this link for more information -- Teacher Appreciation January 2014. Thanks for your help!!

PTO Meeting


Please mark your calendars for our next PTO meeting -- Tuesday, January 7 at 6:30 pm in the Media Center. As always, children are welcome. We hope to see you there!

Movie Knight


Due to the inclement weather last month, our Movie Knight has been moved to Friday, January 10!! Please check your child's backpack this week for more information or you can find the updated form on our blog under "Events/Fundraisers". The movie featured will be "The Rise of the Guardians" (PG) and it will begin at 6:15 pm. Reservations are due on Wednesday, January 8. As a reminder, each child needs to have an adult chaperon attend this event.

Many Thanks!!


We have so many volunteers to thank for all of our successful events in December!


  • A huge thanks to Kim Tudor, Erin Deutsch and all of our many parent volunteers who helped organize and staff our annual Holiday Kids Shop. The children had so much fun selecting gifts for their loved ones!!
  • Thanks to Angie Purcell-Hood for all of her hard work in organizing the Holiday Vendor/Craft Fair. We appreciate you doing this for our Kings families!
  • Many thanks to Hazel Bloomfield, the Community Outreach committee and to all of the parents who graciously donated new coats for our coat drive. We were able to collect 26 coats (a new record!) and this was enough to not only provide KME children with warm coats but we also were able to share the rest with our other elementary schools!

A quick reminder that our big EXTRAVAGANZA is coming up in February!! Please be on the lookout for more information about this event and begin working on gathering items for your class's raffle baskets. A list of items needed can be found on the blog under "Events/Fundraisers".
