From the Principal:
This is one of my favorite times of year. I love when the cool weather sets in and the daylight is shorter to enjoy the light from a fire and the holiday lights that shine on houses and buildings. Another reason this is my favorite time of year is because it brings me so much joy to give to others and make them smile. I spend a lot of time picking the perfect cards and gifts for my friends and family members so that I can see the joy it brings them. We have 2 1/2 more weeks left in this semester and my goal is to bring joyful smiles to all of the faces at KME including those of students, faculty and parents. I hope you enjoy the 12 Days of Dress Up in our December to Remember and all of the pictures we will post on our social media pages. We have several fun events you can read about below and I hope you get to attend them.
Each year, I carefully pick how I can let our faculty know how much I appreciate all the hard work that they put in for our students. I usually try to give everyone the 'gift of time' in some fashion. The past several years we have offered a gift wrap station where teachers can bring their gifts, drop them off, and then come back at the end of the day and pick them up wrapped and ready to go. We are hosting this on Friday December 10th and I am looking for several volunteers with their volunteer badge, to come help us wrap gifts. All supplies are provided. Please email spaine2@newcaneyisd.org if you can come help on this day.
Also, we have a Giving Tree in our front office. It contains a card that represents each faculty member at KME. I would love your help in giving a $25 gift card to each of our faculty members on our last day before the winter break. I have asked the teachers where they would like a gift card from if they were to receive one; I took all of their answers and wrote them on cards and attached them to our Christmas tree in the front office. If your family would like to donate a gift card to a teacher at KME please let us know! You can come by the office, pick a card from the tree, and then return it with a gift card to be given to teachers and faculty on December 17th. We have a WONDERFUL faculty at KME that loves your kids and have worked hard to help them learn and grow. Thank you for being a blessing to us all!
I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season!
