Blessings in a Backpack
Cushing partners with a non-profit organization called Blessings in a Backpack. Through this partnership, students are eligible to be a recipient of the Blessings in a Backpack program.
The program is designed to provide non-perishable food every Friday to children who would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. The program runs the full 38-week school year and there is no cost to participate. If you choose to participate, your child will receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday which will be distributed in a discreet and caring manner.
If you would like your child to participate, please email Mrs. Mirek (mireka@kmsd.edu).

There is no obligation to order. If you decide to order, you can complete your purchase for photo print and specialty products online. All photo orders will be mailed directly home to the address provided during checkout and will be shipped within 2-5 business days.
Volunteer Applications
All adults need to fill out a Volunteer Application every year. These applications are required to volunteer in the classrooms, chaperone field trips, join your learner for lunch, help with PTO-sponsored events, etc. If you plan on doing any of these fun activities, click HERE.
Fun Fact: Volunteer Applications expire one year after approval. If you have an approved application on file, you won’t be able to submit a new application until the current one expires. If you’re wondering when your application expires, contact Mrs. Mirek.
