We officially welcome Samantha Hinners as our permanent kitchen manager. She has been subbing in this position all year and we are excited to have her accept the position.

Good news! Breakfast will still be served at King when D11 has a 2 hour delay. Students may come in at 9:20am for breakfast on our delayed start days.

The photos above were courtesy of Beth Austin with D11 Engage who supported King PTA with finding organizations to sponsor and attend this awesome event!

King Elementary PTA wants to extend our gratitude to the organizations who joined us for Science Night. It was wonderful having so much community support for our students to be able to explore, discover, and enjoy science activities at Science Night.

These organizations have some wonderful programs and resources for children. We encourage you to check out their websites and explore more activities that your student(s) may enjoy.

Thank you for your support.
