King Families,

Every year D11 Food and Nutrition gathers and donates toys to Christmas Unlimited to help our community. This year there is such a high demand for help, we have been asked to see if our school would love to help us out. So, we are asking all of our amazing King families to help collect toys. If you would like to help, please bring a new unwrapped toy to the office by Dec 17th.

D11 Food and Nutrition Services greatly appreciates any help and thank you in advanced!

Congratulations to all of our amazing artists who participated in the King PTA Reflections Contest. The theme this year was Accepting Imperfections. Our student artists did an incredible job representing the theme in their artwork and showing off their creativity and skills.

All of the King student artwork will now move on to the PTA Reflections Contest— El Paso County level. We wish our artists luck and are thank them for participating! Way to go, King artists!

Our Health room could use some clothing donations. Specifically, we could really use some girls and boys K-2 pants (Size 5-7).

We're climbing towards reaching our goal of 95% attendance. Our next goal is to spell the word COOKIE by having 95% or higher attendance for six days. When we reach our new goal students will get to enjoy a fresh baked cookie. Our goal is 95% because we understand that there will be absences for illness and emergencies. We are hoping that outside of illnesses and emergencies all students will be attendance.

A buddy bench is a special place where students can sit if they’re feeling lonely or need a friend. It promotes kindness, inclusion, and friendship among students. Mr. Abbott, husband of Mrs. Abbott, is building a special buddy bench for the King playground and we are dedicating this special bench to Tristan Rael, a student that tragically passed away last year. We want to give our families and community members who are interested an opportunity to help purchase materials for our buddy bench. There is no obligation to donate but if you are interested in donating there is a link below. If we collect more than we need to purchase materials we will use those additional funds to buy additional playground equipment for our students.

How You Can Help:

• Donate: Any amount helps! Every contribution brings us closer to our goal.
• Spread the Word: Share this message with friends and family.

Families, it is typically this time of year that we start to see items collecting in our Lost & Found. With the weather getting cooler, we want to ensure students have their jackets, gloves, and hats! As you can see, there are a number of items needing to find their owner! Please feel free to stop in and check out our Lost & Found. One thing to note, we donate all items that are left in our Lost & Found twice a year! Our first donation of items happens over winter break and then we will donate again at the beginning of summer break!
