King Elementary School

Learning doesn't stop when school lets out. Neither does the need for good nutrition! This year's Summer Meals Program starts at community sites on June 10, 2026. Meals begin at summer school buildings on June 15, 2026. ☀️

All children (not only GBAPS students) 18 years old and younger can receive free summer meals from GBAPS. Families do not have to qualify for free/reduced meals to participate.

💧 W is for Water! 💧

Miss Vissers Kindergarten class had a splashing good time celebrating "W" for Water Day for their ABC countdown!

There were lots of smiles, laughter, and memorable moments!

What a wonderful Water Day! 💙🌊💦

Mrs. Flicek’s and Mrs. Niles’ 1st grade students had a fantastic adventure at Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve today! 🌿🐸🐟

Students explored the great outdoors on a nature walk and became young scientists during a hands-on pond study. They discovered pond ecosystems up close, observed wildlife, and learned about the amazing animals that call the pond home. What a fun day of learning, exploring, and making connections with nature! 💚🌎

🌟 Future Innovators at Work! 🌟

Check out what our Kids Who Build Team with Mr. Borski has been up to!

1st Project: Design a Lego creation with a partner and tell a story about to the group.

2nd Project: Design an object with a partner using the engineering design process and present the it to the class.

3rd Project: Design a fort in the woods. The fort should protect you from the elements (snow, rain, etc.)

4th Project: Mrs. Plourde was a guest speaker explaining how she uses engineering in her job. Students then engineered an amusement park.

Not only did they learn valuable STEM skills, but they also practiced collaboration, perseverance, and critical thinking along the way.

Great job to all of our students for their hard work and enthusiasm! The future is bright with these talented builders and programmers leading the way. 💡🤖👏

Field Day was a huge success! 🎉

Our elementary students spent the day enjoying fun games, friendly competitions, team challenges, and lots of laughter. From relay races to water activities, every child had the opportunity to show teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit.

A special thank you to our teachers, staff, volunteers, and families who helped make the day memorable. The smiles, excitement, and encouragement shared throughout the event reminded us what a wonderful school community we have.

We are so proud of our students for giving their best effort, supporting one another, and creating lasting memories. What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of the school year!

Today, we had the privilege of celebrating our Southwest High School Class of 2026 during their Graduate Walk! 🎓💙

As our seniors walked the halls one final time, they inspired younger students and reflected on the journey that brought them to this milestone. From their first days in school to graduation, their hard work, dedication, and perseverance have led them to this exciting moment.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and can't wait to see the amazing things they will do next. Congratulations, Southwest High School Class of 2026! Your future is bright, and your King family will always be cheering you on.

What an incredible day at our 2nd Annual Color Run! 🌈🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Students, staff, families, and volunteers came together for a fun-filled event packed with energy, laughter, and plenty of color. From the starting line to the final burst of color, our students showed enthusiasm, teamwork, and school spirit every step of the way.

A special thank you to ASK (Adults Supporting King) for sponsoring this year's Color Run and helping make this event possible. Your support allows us to create memorable experiences that bring our school community together.

We are so proud of our students and grateful to everyone who participated, volunteered, and cheered on our runners. We can't wait to do it all again next year!

First graders engineered their own vehicles this morning so they could “drive” them to the Drive In Theater this afternoon (the gym)!
