POSTCARDS ACROSS AMERICA

Dear Families and Friends,

 I am super excited about this activity. Postcards Across America is an activity that we will do as a class to learn about our country. We are hoping to get a postcard from every state, but we need your help! If you have a family member or close friend from a different state, we would love to have them send us a postcard. I would like to get as many families involved in this exchange as possible. When doing this we will learn different facts and where the state is located on the map!  I am thrilled to get this activity going and try to get all 50 states! 

Our mailing address is:

PTO KCC Falcons Dance Off

We are excited to kick off our KCC Falcons Dance Off on 5/4. Our goal is to raise $20,000 for  enrichment programs and field trips as well as to strengthen our school community.

Our school has always relied on fundraising to provide exceptional opportunities to enhance student learning. And this year, we have more needs than we’ve ever had before, which means we need your support more than ever.

 Just as we worked to safely begin school this year, we are also safely hosting this essential fundraiser based on our school’s current guidelines. We completely understand if your family is not in a position to financially support the school right now. You can still be involved by simply SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and extended family online at mybooster.com. Sharing IS supporting!

 Starting 4/20 you and your family will have access to our custom pledge site to get started. We’ll send more details, as we get closer to our kick off.

We are grateful for our K. C. Coombs School family! Thank you for your support this year.

Dogs don’t judge 

Dogs embrace everyone
