Kimball Hill News:
Week of April 22nd
Message from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Families,
It is hard to believe we are heading into May. The end of school year is a busy time of the year. Your child is finishing another important journey as they finish one more grade. While a variety of emotions may bubble up to the surface, we will work together to ensure all children finish the school year with effort and confidence. We have many fun end of year activities planned and much more learning to come!
Thank you for all the food donations! All collected items will be delivered to the food pantry (picture attached).
As a reminder, Monday is Earth Day and below are some great resources for communicating the importance of caring for our planet.
As always, please email me with any questions, concerns or feedback. We appreciate your continued support!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
