Dads, show how much you value your child's mom by donating orange juice or, even better, by helping in the cafeteria. Dads are needed to help pour drinks, serve muffins and especially with clean-up. Our moms deserve a break, even for just one morning.

This annual tradition is a favorite for all Kingsley students, so mark your calendar. For new Kingsley families, imagine a party atmosphere, a DJ playing high-energy music and a cafeteria full of students of all ages having a blast together. That's what this night is all about. As this event is the primary fundraiser for the 5th graders' end-of-year activities, tickets will be sold at the door for $5 per family and a snack bar will be set up with pizza, drinks, snacks, baked goods, etc. Although previously announced that pizzas were by RSVP only, we've decided to sell them on a first-come first-serve basis as a whole pizza or by the slice, so bring your appetite! If you already reserved a pizza or slices through the online RSVP tool, you may claim your pizzas using your student's name. IMPORTANT: This is not a drop-off event. students must have an adult guardian present at the school during the dance.
