November's Breakfast and Lunch Menus
There is a new item in November for lunch which resembles the McRib Sandwich, as well as trying out boneless wings with a variety of sauces for our students to try to see which dipping sauces they like. We will also be trying out a breakfast burrito. Feedback from the survey was appreciated and taken into account, and from December on, all menus will be based on a majority of the surveys favorites, and removal of those items a majority didn't like or wants less of. Any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to email Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition and Communications at jhough@k12.wv.us
Next week is RED (Really Excellent Decisions) Week at KES! On Monday, we will show school spirit by wearing school apparel. Tuesday is western apparel day. Wednesday is red day. On Thursday, we will say BOO to bad choices when we wear school-appropriate costumes. Let's have fun as we learn about good decision making!
KES Stags are working on social success—and being rewarded for their positive behavior! Each month, there is a grade level drawing from tickets earned and then spent by students at the STOMP Store. Last week, grade level winners and the staff members who issued the winning tickets attended a pancake party!
Attention, Stags! Join KES in showing UNITY tomorrow, Wednesday, October 16th, by wearing ORANGE! Unity Day is an initiative against bullying by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. By wearing and sharing our orange TOMORROW, we will help encourage kindness, acceptance & inclusion to build COMMUNITY all year!
Kingwood Elementary's PTA will be hosting a Halloween parade with a family movie night immediately following on Thursday, October 24th. Registration for the parade will be from 5:30PM-5:50PM. Parade begins at 6PM. Students in PreK through 5th grade are welcome to attend!

Thank you all for the help with Coin Wars! Mrs. Jones' Class was the winner and had a pizza party with movie last Friday! We would also like to recognize Mr. O's Class--they only have 10 students, and their class raised over $100.00! We are so thankful! KES was thrilled to celebrate everyone's success last Thursday at recess with everyone enjoying a popsicle on the playground! Because of your generosity, our PTA will be able to provide fun activities for students and their families throughout the year.
Preston County Schools Upcoming Staff Wellness Challenge:
Don't let time be an excuse to not take care of you. We're only at our best, because you're at your best. From November through February (4 Months), Staff is invited to participate in a wellness challenge. You can do this for personal benefit, pride, or county bragging rights. At the end of each month, certify yourself at the link provided on that month’s calendar (posted on Facebook). 6 winners will be chosen each month to receive a “Preston Strong” hat, courtesy of Affordable Signs Unlimited. Those 24 winners will also be placed into a drawing in March for a grand prize (TBD, but a goodie). The county will also keep track of school submissions and will post our "Top Schools" each month.
Students at Kingwood Elementary continued to develop their mathematical minds this past week. Students in Mrs. Sheets’ Second Grade Class worked with shoulder partners to share their own definitions of repeated addition. Meanwhile, in third grade, students in Mrs. Borror’s MTSS group worked to create their own robots. The only requirement was that each body part had to contain a specified area. We can’t wait to see where math will take these students next!
Tomorrow begins National School Lunch Week. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child's life, and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. We have selected fan favorites to highlight the week, as well as focusing on a "farm to table" day on Wednesday, featuring WV pork and fruits. And as always in Preston County Schools, all students eat for FREE.
This is a reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, October 10th, Student-Led Data Conferences at KES will be held from 4-6PM. Chat with your child's teacher, view some of their work, talk with our guidance counselor and other members of Student Support Services, and get some help reading your child's ESGI and iReady reports.
Parents-We will be doing a STEAM activity in November. We are asking that you send in paper towel and/or toilet paper rolls. We appreciate your support in providing this learning opportunity to all students. Thank you in advance!

At KES, our students’ social successes are shining right alongside their academic ones! Students in grades K-4 demonstrating September’s PurposeFULL People Character Trait, Respect, were recognized last week. These students were nominated by their classmates and see the value in all people and things and treat them with care. Meanwhile, students in Mrs. Davis’ Class worked on taking turns, following rules, and communicating with peers through games. Can’t wait to see what we’ve got in store for our Stags this week?! Be at KES from 7:35-2:25 and find out!!
Don't forget that LSIC and PTA will meet tomorrow evening, Monday, October 7th! LSIC will meet in the KES library starting at 5PM followed by PTA at 6PM. Hope to see you there!
