Kingston Community School District

🌟 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! 🏫

In recognition of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month this November, Kingston Schools is partnering with HDC to provide meal kits and launch a blessing food box for our Kingston community. Any excess food donations will be donated to support homeless families in neighboring communities.

Together, we can make a difference by helping ensure no family goes hungry this season. Please see the flyer below for details on how you can contribute!
