Kingston Community School District

🎉 Congratulations to Our Positive Behavior Award Winners! 🎉 We are so proud to celebrate our amazing students who were recognized during our most recent Positive Behavior Award Assembly at KES! These students have demonstrated outstanding hard work, kindness, and great character, setting a wonderful example for their classmates. It was a joy to share this special moment with classmates, teachers, and family members who joined us to cheer them on as they received their awards. 👏 We look forward to recognizing even more of our incredible KES students in the months to come! Keep up the great work, Cardinals! ❤️🖤

🇺🇸 KES Veterans Day Program – Honoring Our Heroes! 🇺🇸 Our KES staff and students proudly honored the brave men and women who have served our country. We were grateful to welcome veterans from our KES families for a heartfelt Veterans Day Program filled with music, gratitude, and patriotism. Each grade level performed for our honored guests, and we ended with a powerful “Honor Wave," our entire school waving flags and thanking our veterans for their service. It was a truly special day, and we are so thankful for the chance to show our appreciation. Thank you, veterans, for your courage, dedication, and love of country! ❤️🤍💙

We’re excited to share a new way our Kingston community can help one another-the Cardinal Cupboard! Located by the Kingston Elementary South Cafeteria doors, this food blessing box is open to anyone in need.

It’s simple: Leave a little love. Take a little hope.

Items are available first come, first serve and the cupboard will be filled as donations come in. Currently, it is filled with meal kits complete with recipe cards! Up-to-date local pantry locations are also available in the box.

A huge thank you to the Westerby Family, L.J. Construction, and the Daniel Copeland Memorial Foundation for their generosity in helping bring this project to life. Donations are still needed and can be brought to the elementary office or food donations can be placed directly in the box.

Every can, box, and kind gesture helps feed hope in our community. For more information, please contact Raeann Gentner, Elementary Social Worker at rgentner@kingstonk12.org.

🎃 Another successful Halloween at KES! 👻 From fun classroom Halloween activities 🧪 to our 6th graders’ exploding pumpkins experiment 💥, and of course showing off our students’ and staff’s amazing Halloween spirit in our annual Halloween parade 🎭 — it was truly a great day to be a Cardinal! ❤️🖤 Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃🕸️🦇

🎃🕸️ Happy Halloween from Kingston Community Schools! 🕸️🎃 Since our GSRP preschool students don’t attend school on Fridays, they won’t be here for our annual Halloween parade this afternoon. To make sure they still got in on the spooky fun, our preschoolers went trick-or-treating around the building on Thursday! 🍬👻 They visited classrooms, the cafeteria, and the office, spreading smiles and collecting plenty of candy along the way! It was such a treat seeing them all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. We hope they had a fang-tastic time! 🧡🖤 We can’t wait to see everyone else at our annual Halloween parade today (Friday) at 2 PM! Don’t miss the fun! It’s sure to be a boo-tiful celebration! 🎉🧙‍♀️🕷️ Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃👻

🌟 Playground Refresh Complete! 🌟 Our KES playground was long overdue for a fresh layer of mulch around our play structures, and this week we got it done! 🛝💪 After the new mulch was delivered, our amazing maintenance crew tackled “Mulch Mountain,” scooping and spreading load after load with a skid steer 🚜. Then, our varsity football players and coaches came over after practice to help spread the mulch into all the smaller spaces, making sure our playground is safe, soft, and ready for our students to enjoy! 🙌🏽❤️ We’re so thankful to live in a community where so many helping hands come together to make big projects like this possible. 💫 Thank you to everyone involved for your teamwork, muscle, and community spirit! 🏫
