November Newsletter!

November is a Time to be Thankful
Brad Sellner- Executive Director
Thanksgiving is a time of year where we pause to reflect on things in our lives for which we are thankful. At KCS we have much to be thankful for.
We are thankful for our wonderful teachers and staff members who work every day to meet the needs of our students and families. Their dedication was celebrated during American Education Week on November 17-21! From those who keep our school safe, to those who teach all the different subjects, to those who clean our school, to those who work with and support our students with special needs, we are thankful for them all.
