Hi Families! This year, our specialist team wants you to be able to take a look inside our classrooms. This is the first of many "Specialists Corner" for you to see the fun activities we're doing, and communicate any upcoming events or activities!

Here is our first edition of "Specialists Corner!" https://www.smore.com/pxfhe

*Thank you so much to everyone in the King Community who planned,
donated to, volunteered at, and came out to both the Book Fair and
Pancake Breakfast this past week! We hope everyone enjoyed both
events! Huge thank you to Sandy Fallon-Ludwig and Leigh Paquet for
planning the Book Fair and to Jen Carter, Beth Folsom, Katie Casavant,
and Sandy Arcuri for planning the Pancake Breakfast. We already can't
wait for next year!

*November 29th is #GivingTuesday, a global movement that inspires
hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate
generosity. This year's Giving Tuesday donations will directly support
our teacher appreciation initiatives. We are excited to announce that
through the generosity of our corporate partner Avidia Bank, donations

• We ask that snacks (that are often eaten in the classroom) do not include nuts or nut butters. All classroom spaces at King this year will be allergy friendly rooms. Students are, however, allowed to have nuts and nut butters as part of their lunches in the cafeteria.
• In the cafeteria each classroom has 2 tables. One is labeled allergy friendly. We ask that any students that have nut or nut butter allergies sit at these tables; we ask that any students who have nut or nut butters as part of their lunch sit at the other tables.
• Students have been introduced to this in the cafeteria already, and will be reminded by their classroom teachers again.
