Thank you to everyone who was able to join us Thursday evening for our Parent Orientation & PBIS presentation. If you weren't able to make, no worries! Just check in with your teacher and he or she would be happy to share the handouts and/or presentation material. The PBIS presentation was also posted on our campus website. Just go to http://campus.kellerisd.net/school/sve-130/ to see it and so much more information.
Grandparent's Luncheon was a HUGE success today. We had a wonderful turn out and our students were so thrilled to eat with their grandparents or happy to sit with new friends in their grade level. We appreciate all of your support. It was a pleasure to see so many new smiling faces today.
Looking ahead...our next community wide event is the 1-Mile Fun run at the 17th annual Run in the Dark. Online Registration closes on September 16th at midnight.

17th Annual Run in the Dark ~ Saturday, September 17th!!
The Community Storehouse's 17th Annual Run in the Dark event is scheduled for September 17, 2016, at Alliance Town Center's Bluestem Park.
Each year, the event draws more and more runners participating in the one-mile fun run and 5K race. Whether you choose to become a sponsor, volunteer your time, or put together a team to run, you are helping at-risk children in the greater Keller community.
All proceeds from Run in the Dark go back to children in our area, providing essential services to prevent hunger and provide educational support, resources, and stability. There are more than 2,000 children locally who cannot afford school supplies; 3,000 local children cannot afford educational assistance; 7,000 local children cannot afford nutritional support; and more than 12,000 local children need the Community Storehouse.
Discounted rates are available to friends and families who sign up with their child's school. To register, visit www.RunInTheDarkDFW.com and register under the "Schools/Storehouse Cup" category. Registering through a Keller ISD school not only earns a discounted rate, but T-shirts and bibs will be delivered directly to the student's campus, making it even easier on parents.
The campus with the most runners will win the coveted "Storehouse Cup Trophy." This will be the ninth year for Community Storehouse to award the trophy to the school with the highest participation. There will again be two trophies awarded – one for Elementary/Intermediate and one for Middle/High Schools. A school team consists of children and adults who register under their school's name.
