Our KPS Elementary Teachers are adding a little extra FUN to the school year with our new National Day Calendar! 🥳
Each month, we’ll choose a few National Calendar Days to celebrate together. Some might mean dressing up, some might involve a special treat 🍦, and others will give our students an opportunity to give back and show kindness to others. ❤️
We’re kicking things off in September with four fun days:
🧸 September 9 | National Teddy Bear Day
Students can bring a NEW teddy bear to donate to our Teddy Bear Drive!
💚 September 15 | National Tackle Kids Cancer Day
Wear a GREEN SHIRT to show support for a student at Westhope Public School who is currently fighting cancer. Students may also bring loose change to donate to his family. 💚
🍦 September 22 | National Ice Cream Cone Day
Get ready for a SWEET treat! 😋
🧡 September 30 | National Orange Shirt Day
Wear your ORANGE! 🧡
📌 Parents, keep an eye out! A new calendar will be shared each month on our Facebook page and sent home in your child’s folder.
We’re excited to add a little fun to our school days while also creating opportunities for our students to learn about kindness, generosity, and supporting others. 🥰
Let the celebrations begin! 🎉🐝📚

Mother Nature has decided to play through this round, so we’re making a little adjustment to the Honker Invite! 🌧️➡️☀️
