| THIS WEEK AT KINGSLEY |
| Night of the arts - TOMORROW at 6:00 pm This year, we will again exhibit students' framed artwork in the media center as part of Kingsley's Night of the Arts visual art and choral festivities. The frames by Artome are available for purchase for $25.00 ($20.00 for each additional frame). Only cash or checks will be accepted. Frame sales will not be available after the art show. If parents would like to purchase frames with their child's artwork but are unable to attend Night of the Arts, they can send in payment to Mrs. Agee before the show, and she will hold your framed work for you. Please email Mrs. Agee if you plan to do this. The students have been working very hard to prepare artwork for the hall and media center galleries. Hope to see you there. Volunteers still needed: We need help getting the children's art hung before Thursday evening for Night of the Arts. Any amount of time you can offer to help would be great. Just stop by the school and see Ms. Agee. If she's not there or not available, she will provide art and instructions in the front office. |

| Kingsley Spring Cleanup weekend - Please save the date for a big cleanup weekend at Kingsley April 21/22. We plan to have a work session both of those days to accommodate as many families as possible - Sat. 9-1 and Sun 1-5. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend one of our cleanup sessions. We have several areas around campus where we need to spread mulch and there's always pruning and weeding to doJ. We will also be working on the beds in the front. We want the school looking its best for Kindergarten Roundup on 4/27. Contact Amanda Hensley at bahensley@bellsouth.net with any questions or suggestions. Congratulations to Kingsley’s Odyssey of the Mind team! Our Odyssey of the Mind team finished in 9th place in their division in the recent Lilburn Regional Tournament. This caps another great season of creative problem solving, where the students get all the credit because they do it all. They wrote the script. They designed the sets and created the costumes. And along the way, they made new friends and shared a lot of laughs. Now, Kingsley’s creative problem solving program is ready to grow. For 2012-13, we are moving our team to Destination ImagiNation, which will give us new opportunities to learn and compete. We also hope to add a second team for kids in grades K-2. But to grow, we need more help from the Kingsley community. Specifically, we need a few more parent volunteers to manage our teams. If you can spend 1-2 hours a week with a group of seven students, you can be a team manager … and when you commit to managing a team, your child (or children) will be guaranteed a place on one of our school’s teams. fIELD dAY IS JUST AROUND THE BEND Imagine it ... a beautiful, sunny day ... kids running, jumping and playing together ... sounds of fun and joy are all you hear. That's Field Day! For this to happen though, Coach Thomas needs help from a parent to coordinate the other volunteers. If you are interested in helping with this amazingly kid-favorite event, please let the Council know by sending an email to council@kingsleycharter.org. LAST DCPC MEETING Date/Time: April 11 at 9:15 am, refreshments at 8:45 am Meeting Location: Peachtree Charter Middle School (Cafeteria) Topic: "Update on DeKalb County School District" Speaker: Dr. Cheryl Atkinson, DCSS Superintendent WE NEED YOU!!!! Staff Appreciation is coming up May 7 – May 11 We need a lead volunteer for each event as well as volunteers and donations. Please contact Erin Nydam at erinnydam@comast.net if you would like to help with this important Kingsley tradition.
