The Final Falcon Eye! 6/14/24

KCCS Awards Ceremony

The Samuel G. Davis Good Manners Award is a tradition in Mashpee. Each year students vote on who they think should earn this distinction. Special subject teachers recognize second graders for their work throughout their time at KCCS. The Nick Feldman Good Sportsmanship Award honors the memory of Principal Nick Feldman and the importance of sportsmanship. We are extremely proud of the hard work of all of our students and greatly appreciate the dedication and love staff have for our youngest Falcons.

News from the PTO!

While we are ready to start creating summer memories with our own kiddos, there are still a few things we are working on to prepare for next year’s school year. The Board will be meeting with MaryKate O’Brien next week to go over the calendar of events for next year. We have had some wonderful feedback from parents recently, and we are going to do the best we can to create a   line up that feels more inclusive to our families and their busy schedules. 

Something new we are excited about is that we will be making an appearance at the Mashpee Farmers Market this summer! The PTO will have a table with an activity on three different Sundays: June 23rd, July 21st, and September 1st from 11am -12pm.

Option 2: Summer of ST Math

ST Math can make a positive impact for students and continued use in the summer can unlock continued learning opportunities for students.

• Have your child try to spend 15  minutes a day playing ST Math.
