THANK YOU to everyone who donated and organized grade level baskets, attended our fundraiser on Friday, and participated in our silent auction by bidding on items, purchasing raffle tickets and a experiences.

Despite only having 47 bidders we raised over $7,000! Your generosity is the only way we can continue to provide support in all the ways we do for our school. Be on the look out for a survey so we can collect feedback on ways we can better engage parents and events you would be willing to support in the future.

The most heartfelt thank you to our fundraising committee without your help organizing, planning, soliciting and collecting donations this event could have never happened!

Special shoutout to Casey and Julie Holloway! Their donation of the mobile bidding software makes the auction seemless and accessible for those that could not attend the event. They put so much time and effort into the site behind the scenes. We can’t thank you enough!

This is the good stuff! It’s a stack of thank you cards from our kids. Showing us their heartfelt appreciation for the field trips this year! 🥰

By stepping outside of the classroom, we provide students an opportunity to see connections between what is happening at school and in the real world. They begin to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the situations around them.

Going on a field trip enhances our children’s critical thinking skills and gives students a chance to think about a topic or theme from a different perspective. Several children don't get to experience the typical field trip locations with their families.

With your continued support we’re able to continue to give the Kingsley students these wonderful experiences!

Purchase your Camp Kingsley and Kingsley Cup Tickets today! All of the proceeds go back to the kids and our school!

A special note from our Librarian! 💕🥰📚

_____________

Dear Kingsley PTA parent volunteers,

I just wanted to send my appreciation to all of our Kingsley parent volunteers involved in helping to host an amazing Author Fest!

Whether you created signs to welcome the authors, made copies of flyers, provided support in-person at the author visits, put together a gift bag, bought & superved lunch or volunteered on the district PTA committee, any and all efforts were noticed and appreciated!

I know students had a great time & book checkouts are proof of that. They're already clamoring for Greg Pizzoli books & want to read the next Jasmine Warga book that comes out in September. This shows just how much of an impact these visits had on them!

I attached some collage photos that were shared in the Kingsley Connection & on social media for you to enjoy.

Thank you so much again for all of your help!
♥️
