May Weekly Update
Week of Monday May 6th
Message from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Families,
As we head into the last couple weeks of school, we would like to soak up all of the learning while having some extra fun! Our 5th and 6th graders created special days that we would like to invite all staff and students to participate in. In leiu of the alphabet, we will be using 'COUGARS' our mascot name to celebrate the end of year together as one community.
Please click on the PDF below for details.
As always, please email me with any questions, concerns or feedback. We appreciate your continued support!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
Open House
Thank you to everyone for attending Open House. We had hundreds of families attend! We also greatly appreciate everyone that was able to make a donation for our Dollar Dash. The PTA will announce the winning grade level once that is determined. They will all receive a free ice cream coupon.
