MISSION: IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING
Principal Message
October has been a busy month as we settle into the school year. Students celebrated 'Fancy Day' (see attached slideshow), attended field trips, and practiced many of our safety drills. Teachers had professional development in the area of our phonics reading program and mental health, while the community had the opportunity to attend fall conferences.
The first week of November will kick off our last fall conference and end with Thanksgiving Break. During the next few weeks, KES will be starting something new called, 5th Grade Leaders. This is a great opportunity for your 5th grader to practice being a role model for all of the younger grades and develop leadership skills to carry with them to KMS next year. Each 5th grader learned about this in their classrooms this week and will bring home more information on Monday. I'm looking forward to working with the 5th graders on this new initiative and all of the following to come.
Speaking of Thanksgiving-Thank you for all of your support to our staff, students, and myself.

Community Survey 2021

Square 1 Art Fundraiser
The order forms for the Square 1 ART fundraiser should be arriving soon and will be sent home with students upon their arrival. The students in 5K – 5th grade at Kewaskum Elementary School spent time in September creating unique pieces of artwork. This artwork will now be available for purchase on various items through this Square 1 Art fundraiser. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Schuknecht at: kschuknecht@kewaskumschools.org. Thank you for participating in this event that celebrates creativity and supports the Arts!
