Happy Holidays Kingsley Families:
What a fantastic first semester! I want to thank each and every one of you for making Kingsley a great place for our kids to go to school. We have had phenomenal results with our fundraising and each event has seen a record number of attendees. With all of that activity comes lots of volunteer hours. Please make sure that you take some time over the winter break to log in your first semester hours. So far, we have 15 families who have met the charter challenge of 32 service hour and we have another 23 families who have met their 16 hour minimum. That is outstanding Kingsley, but don’t stop logging those hours because we have to report ALL of our hours to the state to fulfill our Charter requirements.
And now let’s take a sneak peak at what we have coming up in the New Year.
Those are just a few of the events that will start our 2nd semester, but please enjoy this winter break with your family. We have all been working hard this 1st semester and deserve the R&R.
| January | February | March | ||
| Students return on the 4th We have a fantastic Parent Meeting planned for January 24th. Our Curriculum Action Team is putting together some great information for us about challenging our gifted students so be on the lookout for more information about that meeting. The end of January will bring our Honors Programs on the 25th and 26th. | Jump Rope for Heart and Donuts with Dad on the 3rd. We are looking for a parent coordinator to help Coach with Jump Rope for Heart so if you are interested in helping with this event please contact me. We moved candlelight Luncheon to February 16th to let our students share a special Valentine luncheon with a parent or special someone. | We will have the return of Walking Wednesdays on the 7th with Georgia Walk to School Day |
Those are just a few of the events that will start our 2nd semester, but please enjoy this winter break with your family. We have all been working hard this 1st semester and deserve the R&R.
Happy Holidays,
Show our affection and how proud you are - they will love it!
Every year, we create an amazing yearbook for our students, and this year's is going to be terrific! One of the coolest parts that the kids LOVE is the section containing personal messages from their parents, otherwise known as the Public Displays of Affection (PDAs). PDAs are a great way to tell your kids how proud you are of them and congratulate them on their accomplishments. PDAs are available in various sizes with the smallest beginning at 1/8 of a page for $15. To place your order, send an email to Allegra Johnson at ajwigwam@bellsouth.net containing your PDA message with the picture you'd like to include.
A big thank you from the 1st Grade Girl Scout Troop
Thank you Kingsley for supporting our efforts! With you help and generosity, we collected more than 70 coats for the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Kids.
We have a 4th grade play!

How can you be involved? How can you share this great experience with your child? How can you get volunteer hours early in the semester?
We will need A WHOLE LOT OF help your producing "A Kid's Life" this year's 4th Grade Play.
We need a whole Creative & Production Team (Stage Manager, Dance Captain, Technical Director, Set Manager, Stage Crew, House Manager, Publicity Manager) and would love to work with Next Year's Producer/ Director. This is a great opportunity for 3rd Grade parents who are interested in producing and/or directing next year's 4th Grade Play. You could shadow this year's team to make sure you know what is needed, what to do again and what to avoid to make next year even easier.
Please let me know if you would like to help and what job you would like to do ASAP! Contact Debbie D'Arcy at toddarcy@bellsouth.net.
