No School - Monday January 20th, 2025

Events at King

King Lion Awards

Kindergarten - Mrs. Abbott

We weren't able to snap a picture of Mrs. Abbott and her award winners last week! Congratulations on receiving your King Lion Awards last week!

School Cereal Drive (January 21st - January 30th)

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, King Elementary will be collecting unopened boxes of cereal to donate to Care & Share. On Friday January 31st, classes will arrange the boxes in a domino pattern and watch them fall. Our goal is to gather enough cereal boxes to completely “wrap” the school in support of this great cause.

Attendance Goal Reached!!

Congratulations, we have earned our attendance reward by reaching our attendance goal of 95% attendance for 6 days!. Mrs. Greene, our Elementary Specialist, will bake and deliver hot cookies to students some time during the upcoming week. 😋

Our new attendance goal will be posted soon.

School Reminders

Health Room Clothing Reminders

Please return clothes that come home

Reminder: If your student comes home with an extra set of clothing. we ask that you please launder all items (except shoes) and return them to the office as soon as possible. We would like to keep our supply of donated items available for any student who may need them. This could include shirt, pants, underwear, socks and shoes.

Health Room Needs

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

Buddy Bench in memory of Tristan Rael

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.

Thank you for helping us fund our buddy bench!
