Mileage Club

Mileage Club is going strong! Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday during recess, children have the chance to complete laps to earn tokens!

If you are interested in helping with Mileage Club, please contact Kim Renzenbrink at skrenz@msn.com.

Crystal Clear Science

KME PTO will be hosting the Crystal Clear Science Program for all of our students today and tomorrow. This is a fun way for our children to learn more about science so be sure to ask your children how the program was!!

We can always use extra hands to help prepare and clean up this event -- the dates are Tuesday, April 29 and Thursday, May 1 for the third grade and Tuesday, May 6 and Thursday, May 8 for the fourth grade. If you can help any of these mornings, please contact Jenny Circello at jenny.circello@gmail.com.

Hi KME Families! We discussed many upcoming events at our PTO meeting this week that we wanted to send out an additional reminder regarding all of the fun things occurring at our school!

After-School Programs

The deadline for registration has been extended! If you are interested in signing your child up for Tumbling, Soccer Shots and/or Mad Science for the spring, please click on the "Programs" tab on our blog for more information and how to enroll.

Garden Club

The Garden Club has a few events coming up that will help get our landscapes ready for spring! If you are interested, please contact Stacia Cukovecki at cukevb@yahoo.com.

Mileage Club

It's finally spring (hopefully!) so Mileage Club will be starting up the week of April 7. For three weeks, our children will be able to log miles and earn tokens during their recess time. The children are very excited for this so we need many volunteers to help staff the "marking stations"! Please contact Kim Renzenbrink at skrenz@msn.com for more information on how to volunteer.
