Dear Families,

A very happy Hannukah to our families who celebrate this holiday. I wish your families peace, hope and joy.

It was a great pleasure to see so many parents, grandparents and siblings at school this week for our festive holiday concerts. Our students and teachers worked hard to make this happen! It has been a busy week for us with a 13-year-old sleepover party, the administration of the SAT exam, ceramics classes and movie making. KIS Campus never seems to sleep!

As we approach the end of the term, teachers are busy finalizing grades for the status reports, recommendations for success orientation awards and completing the narratives. All of these reports will be available on your family Moodle account.

We have some wonderful events planned for next week to celebrate the end of term: a photobooth, cookie decorating, games and activities and a pancake breakfast on Friday the 15th. Our students have worked hard and achieved so much; we are excited to recognize their successes.

I am looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow at the PTO Wine and Cheese.

Enjoy the weekend.

Best regards,
Rachel Geary
