Message from Mrs. Carey!
Dear KES families,
Hope this finds you well! First off, kudos to our boys and girls who have been working SOOOO hard during our Math MCAP testing this week! It is evident that they are putting forth effort and showing all that they have learned. I am beyond proud of them. Thank you to our KES families for sending them to school ready and prepared for the day.
If you see any of our PTA Board Members, please thank them! They provided a bag of treats and snacks to all 450+ of our students on their first day of testing. They also have some fun treats planned for Field Day! When our families help with the PTA fundraising, it helps support special treats for our students and staff while also providing our school with additional materials for instruction and much, much more!

Amazon Smile Fundraiser Information!
One of our students, Hunter Sidebottom, has a rare genetic condition known as DeSanto Shinawi Syndrome (DESSH), which causes intellectual disability (ID), developmental delays, seizures, anxiety, ADHD, immune Issues and more. This syndrome was discovered about 7 years ago, and to date has less than 150 known cases worldwide. Hunter's family, along with some other families, formed a Charity Parent Foundation to raise awareness and to support finding therapies, research and eventually a cure. The DESSH.ORG foundation is currently fundraising to pay a researcher to delve deeper into the disorder.
Amazon donates to charities by linking Amazon accounts through Amazon Smile. Please consider linking your Amazon account to DESSH. SEARCH Amazon Smile for "Dessh Desanto-Shinawi Syndrome Corporation".
