KES Student Council Project!
The KES Student Council is excited for our newest service project! The Student Council representatives will help the residents at Corsica Hills Nursing Home in Centreville to celebrate Valentine's Day. They plan to create cards and goody bags for all 100+ residents and deliver them during February. In order to make this project a success, they are asking for two types donations for the bags: new pairs of socks (any type, but the kids think residents would really enjoy the warm, fuzzy kind) and new tubes of ChapStick (or other similar brands). If you are able to donate any of these items, please drop them off in the KES office by Monday, February 6th. Thank you in advance for helping to cheer up our local friends!
Welcome Ms. George!
We would like to welcome Ms. Kaitlin George to our staff. Ms. George is filling in as our Long Term sub for Mrs. Russum! Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Russum and their family who recently welcomed baby girl Collins.
It's Joe Corbi's time!
Joe Corbi's is teaming up with Claire's Gourmet for our amazing fundraiser for our school! Your child should have brought home a catalog and ordering information this week! Our due date for orders will be Monday, January 30th. For easier online ordering, go to:
