Today, we honor the indispensable role of substitute teachers in our education system. PCS has some amazing substitutes, who step-up and fill-in, sometimes on short notice, and do so as if they were made to be the teachers in those very classrooms they care for in a teacher's absence. Today, and every day, we can't thank you enough for helping to ensure our students' educations continue and thrive. Thank you PCS subs!!!

Last night, four Kingwood Elementary School staff members were awarded teaching mini grants from Your Community Foundation to enhance the learning experience for our students! These grants will support literacy initiatives, sensory regulation tools, and improved sanitary measures to help boost student attendance.
Thanks to the dedication of these educators and the generosity of YCF, KES will continue strengthening our efforts to help all students grow—academically, socially, and beyond. We are grateful for the continued support that helps our students shine!
