A Message from the Principal's Desk:
Greetings Members of the Kingsway Community,
Kingsway Regional Middle School is wrapping up a busy month of December where we spread our joy to the local community! We truly focused on the theme of Caring throughout the month as part of our #1DragonFamily program. Our Dragon SPARK Club visited the local library to read to some youngsters in the community as an act of kindness. Additionally, each homeroom made holiday cards for members of Shady Lane Nursing Home. Finally, as a school we collected numerous box loads of toys for our first annual Toys for Tots gift drive. We could not have been more proud of our students' commitment to each of these events.
As we look ahead to January, we are excited to host our 3rd annual MLK Day of Service event. Please encourage your child to get involved in this selfless event. Additionally, rosters for our girls and boys basketball teams are set, and we wish them luck as they begin their season. We wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and new year!
Mr. Brian Tonelli
Principal
