IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...Friendsgiving Total

Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in "Santa in a Shoebox" for Friendsgiving this year. Our donations are being driven RIGHT NOW to a public school in Swannanoa, NC which was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene.

We were able to collect and pack 494 student boxes AND 43 staff boxes among the 5 KM elementary schools. This means that EACH STUDENT in the North Carolina elementary school will be going home with a shoebox full of gifts this Holiday season!!

What an amazing effort put forth by all involved. We truly are "KM Kind".

BRRR! It's Cold Outside!

Please be sure to check the weather and send your children with appropriate outdoor clothing each day. We have a some spares of warm outerwear but once they are gone, the kids must use what they have brought to school.

If you are in need of any outerwear for your student and are unable to provide it, please call the front office and we can make sure you get some. Thanks!

With the wetter and colder weather often comes wet and cold kids coming in from recess. We kindly ask the following -

Please make sure your students have 1 change of clothes in their backpacks or cubbies - including socks

To accommodate students who do not have a change of clothes, the health room is accepting the following donations -

  • Waterproof gloves/mittens

  • Girls leggings sizes 5-16
