We’re back from Spring Break and ready to get back to it! Our Elementary Cardinals didn’t miss a beat and just keep earning C.A.R.D.S tickets by:

• Choosing Respect
• Acting Responsibly
• Being Ready to Learn
• Doing Their Best
• Showing Character

Each ticket is a chance to be selected as a weekly V.I.P., complete with a positive call home, VIP cafeteria seating with a friend, prizes from the Cardinal’s Nest, and plenty of bragging rights.

Welcome back, Cardinals! We’re proud of the strong start and can’t wait to see all the great things ahead!

We are focusing on GOOD THINGS at KES! Staff and students are testing out some new technologies and students were invited to try out a digital white board today in Mrs. Pomaville's class. The direction? Write something that is a good thing on the board. We are all about celebrating good things at Kingston Elementary and our students understood the assignment!

🌸 Spring Break is Almost Here! 🌸 Just a friendly reminder that this Friday will be a half-day of school as we head into spring break! We hope everyone is looking forward to some well-deserved rest, fun, and time with family. Have a safe and happy spring break, Kingston families!

Kingston’s P2P students talked with and provided education to their peers on Thursday, March 19, regarding mental health. The slogan “You can’t just snap out of it” was the center of education. Students played a game and interacted on the signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety and suicide. Coping skills were also discussed and encouraged. Students were given a snap bracelet with the slogan to wear and be reminded, mental health is real, “You can’t just snap out of it!”

❤️🚑 Successful Safety Training Day at Kingston Community Schools Today our Kingston Community Schools staff spent the day focused on safety and preparedness during professional development. Staff members completed CPR/AED, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed training as part of our continued commitment to maintaining our MiHeartSafe School status. As part of the training, our team also conducted a medical emergency response drill at Kingston Elementary School. You may have noticed an ambulance and paramedics at the building or parked near the front entrance during the day. This was part of the planned drill and training exercise and not an actual emergency. We are proud of our staff for taking time to strengthen these important life-saving skills. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority, and today’s training helps ensure we are prepared to respond quickly and effectively if ever needed. Thank you for your continued support of Kingston Community Schools. ❤️

🎩✨ A Little Magic at KES! ✨🎩 On Thursday afternoon, we added a little magic to March is Reading Month at Kingston Elementary with a visit from magician Cameron Zvara from Brain Break Academy Live! Our students know Cameron from the Brain Break videos we use during the school day, so getting to see him perform live was a real treat. His 45-minute show was filled with laughs, surprises, and plenty of amazing magic that kept our students engaged the entire time. A special thank you to the KES Student Council for helping support this fun experience for our students. March is Reading Month is off to a great start!

📚✨ March is Reading Month at KES! ✨📚 We’ve had a great start to March is Reading Month at Kingston Elementary! Along with the many parents and family members who have come in to read with our students, we’ve also welcomed some special guest readers. One of them was Bette, a descendant of an original “Rosie,” who once again volunteered to “Rosie Up” and read a picture book about Rosie the Riveter. After the story, students had fun building candy airplanes to replicate the planes Rosie the Riveters helped build during World War II. We also welcomed members of our local Lions Club, who visited our 3rd grade classrooms. They even brought along a Lions Club member who is a remarkable Abraham Lincoln look-alike! After reading a story about Abe Lincoln, they generously left copies of the book for both of our 3rd grade classes. We are so thankful for the community members and volunteers who help inspire a love of reading in our KES students! ❤️📖

Let’s celebrate another round of KES V.I.P's!

Our Kingston Elementary Cardinals continue to show what it means to follow expectations and earn C.A.R.D.S tickets each day by:
• Choosing Respect
• Acting Responsibly
• Being Ready to Learn
• Doing Their Best
• Showing Character

Each ticket gives students a chance to be selected as a weekly V.I.P., which includes a positive call home, V.I.P cafeteria seating with a friend, prizes from the Cardinal’s Nest, and plenty of bragging rights.

Keep up the great work, Cardinals! We’re proud of the effort you show every day!
