FKAA started a project that will have rolling closures. Please make sure you give yourself enough time in the morning to drop off your student (s) and in the afternoon to pick them up. You may drop them off as early as 7:20am to make sure they arrive on time. Also, there may be some bus stops that will temporarily be out of service while a section is being worked on.

On Earth Day, PKS Ocean Guardian’s Club participated in a hands-on environmental cleanup at Anne’s Beach. Volunteers of all ages rolled up their sleeves to pick up litter.
Adding a special touch to the day, a U.S Park Ranger from the National Park Service delivered an engaging presentation on conservation and wildlife protection. With stories from the field and striking visuals of protected lands,he highlighted the importance of preserving natural habitats and how even small local efforts contribute to a global impact.
Participants left not only with bags of collected trash but also with a deeper understanding of their role in caring for the Earth. The students took a pledge to be Junior Rangers and received badges!
