Hello KES families! Just a couple bits of information for everyone. Tomorrow is the last day of our Santa’s Workshop. If your child was absent or forgot their money on their day to shop, they will be able to shop tomorrow after all kindergarten classes have shopped. The volunteer forms that were sent to parents has a background check to be completed. You will need to take that form with $5.00 to the sheriff’s office to be completed. If you have any questions please contact the school. Have a wonderful evening!
