Kings Education Association/KHS Toy Drive
This year the Kings Education Association is partnering with a Kings High School student named Jake Young to sponsor a Toy Drive that benefits foster care kids through Warren County Children Services. We are collecting new toys now until 12/19. Anyone who donates a toy will be entered into a raffle for multiple $20 gift cards sponsored by KEA.
If you would like to participate, please send a new, unwrapped toy to school with your child between now and 12/19. This is completely voluntary as we know many are involved in other ways of giving back to the community during the holiday season and throughout the year.
Wellness Reminder
Cold and flu season is upon us. Please remember that if your child is ill, he
or she should remain at home until fever-free and vomiting-free for 24
hours. Also, if your child has been
prescribed antibiotics for a contagious illness he or she must remain at home
until receiving a full 24 hours of the medication. Contact Mrs. Wiethe, our
School Nurse, at 398-8050, ext.15025 if you have any questions about your
child’s return to school after an illness.
