Kirby Hall School

Farewell faculty, farewell friends, farewell Kirby until we meet again...wishing everyone all the joy and adventure that is summer break! ❤️☀️🌈✈️🍉🏕️👋

We had an excellent time last week at the KHS Sports Banquet 🏆 celebrating our student athletes (👉aka🐧Penguins). Here are some highlights from our three seasons of competition:

⭐ 88% of all students eligible in grades 2nd through 6th participated on a team this year which was AWESOME ‼️
⭐ All of our teams made it to at least the first round of playoffs at the end of each season with our girls soccer ⚽️ team advancing the farthest and earning the Runners Up trophy for the Austin Private School Association League
⭐ KHS supported a *record* 11 teams across six different sports this year (Flag Football, Volleyball, Cross Country, Basketball, Soccer, and Track & Field)
⭐ Coaches Dixon & Dailey handed out our inaugural KHS Captains Awards to several middle school students who exemplified what it means to work hard and be a team player while serving as outstanding role models for the younger students

It was a 🏅GREAT 🏅year for Penguin sports, and we couldn't do it without our dedicated coaches, families, and faculty always cheering us on...thank you, and 🐧

to our epic in the park two weeks ago. It is a favorite event each year as our students cheer each other on through multiple wet and wild competitions 🏅, teachers brave the dunk tank ⚾ , and vast amounts of watermelons 🍉 are consumed! Thank you to our parent volunteers and brave faculty who weren't afraid to get a little soggy 💦 for a fantastical, fun-filled day! 🌞

Our Kirby Hall Penguins 🐧 are PSIA (Private Schools Interscholastic Association) PROUD, earning 3rd place 🏆 overall in the recent statewide competition. We had nearly 30 students compete in a variety of academic and creative/artistic categories from 1st through 6th grades. CONGRATULATIONS to all of our students who participated, and a huge thanks goes to Mr. Dailey, our teachers, and parents for all their time and efforts and helping us to train our brains! 🧠

WAY TO GO! 👍👍👍

Thank you to all of our families who joined us for the lower grades' Parent Picnic in the park yesterday. We loved reminiscing about all that we have learned together in PreK, Kindergarten, and First Grades this year and enjoyed hearing about all of the exciting plans our friends have for summer! 🧺 🌳 🌞

It has been Spirit Week for our students all week long, but it's also ...and we have the very best around! Thank you to our incredible teachers for all that they do. The learning, laughter, and love that they share with our kids every day knows no bounds!

A huge thanks also goes to our KHS parents for celebrating our teachers with delicious meals and treats all week long!

We are still in awe of our student Art Showcase last week, . Thank you to all who came to enjoy the beautiful, imaginative, interactive, and even edible displays of two and three dimensional artwork represented by each grade. Kudos to Ms. Mann for organizing the evening and for inspiring our students to be their most creative selves every day in art class. 👏

We are kicking off KHS by . Our kiddos and teachers are rocking some totally awesome 80s gear, with a splash of sweet 60s, 70s and other eras mixed in, and they've been having a blast!
