A Note From the Principal
I had an opportunity to attend a Reading Conference last week, one of the most impactful statistics I saw was this one!
I reflected on my own experience as a mother of three children who I fought to read at night. Some may laugh and say "My child won’t put a book down." You are the lucky ones! I, however, struggled. If I had this knowledge, I would have made nightly reading a priority! We work hard during the day at CFK/CFKN to have students engaged in Stamina, but that isn’t enough. What they do when they leave us can make a huge difference in academic success. If your child struggles, make this your priority! For more info, click HERE.

AH-CHOO! SPRING Has Sprung!
Spring is in the air early, the temperature is warmer, the birds are singing, flowers & weeds are blooming and pollen is flying! Spring is a great season for playing outside. But, many of us can be affected by seasonal allergies. That means sneezing, sniffling and red, itchy, watery eyes and sore throats! We are seeing MANY allergy symptoms in the health room now. This can take the fun out of Spring!
The biggest allergy trigger is pollen – tiny grains released in the air by trees, grasses and weeds. When pollen grains get into the nose of someone who is allergic, they send the immune system into overdrive.
You can combat your or your child’s allergies with a number of over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Reminders
If you arrive at 8:10 am or later, your child is TARDY and must be signed in at the front office.
