Since 2011, Unity Day has been recognized in the US as a day to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. PCS is dedicated to the prevention of students being bullied, and creating a safe and welcoming learning environment.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To give back to our community through an organization that impacts so many local people, KES is raising money to donate to the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center in Morgantown—And we plan to have fun while we do it! KES will have a PINK OUT this Thursday, October 23rd! Staff and students will pay $1.00 to wear pink. Again, all proceeds will go to the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. Let’s try to surpass our total from last year, $420.00!
KES: This is just a reminder to wear ORANGE tomorrow, October 22, for Unity Day! Help us take a stand against bullying!
Stock up your freezer for the winter! KES PTA is selling raffle tickets for ½ hog to be drawn on November 19th! Contact Mykayla Mauldin (mmauldin@k12.wv.us) or Misty Davis (misty.d.davis@k12.wv.us) to purchase or sell tickets.
October 20-24, 2025 is National School Bus Safety Week. Keep bus stop safety at the top of your list this school year. School buses carry our most precious cargo—our children. Every stop is a chance to protect their journey. We thank our community members for following the law, our local law enforcement for monitoring and enforcing the laws, and our PCS Bus Drivers for ensuring our students' safety to and from our schools and events.
Kingwood Elementary School celebrated our students with perfect attendance for the months of August and September with a prize drawing! There were 133 students in PreK through 4th grade who earned this status and were in the running for a prize! Grade level winners are pictured here along with the names of all students achieving perfect attendance in the first two months of school. Being on time and staying all day, every day makes us academically and socially successful!
