β€Super Cool Family and Friends, β€we have a dream to help get school shirts on our students. https://www.spiritgeardirect.com/GearDrive/Store.aspx?guid=bc35504d-4a58-4c12-b4cd-fc97801f3b92 We partnered up with Spirit Gear to help us make this happen. This is not a fundraising event as we want to keep the cost as low as possible. If you would like to help then you are welcome to purchase a shirt and have it Donated to a classroom. The Red and Blue Tie Dye shirts are popular with the students.π Complete the order form and if you are able to help with a shirt donation then enter "Donated" under the student name section. You can select a teacher room to donate to or also enter "Donated" to the teacher name section. We are trying to get to at least 50 shirts before next week.π₯π¦Ή Youth sizes will accommodate grades: Pre School, K-1-2-3-4, while adult sizes accommodate grades 5-6-7-8.

π Cheers to Ms. Karen Galindo, September S.T.A.R. Award recipient! π
Ms. Galindo is not only a former student of Kenilworth School and a current team member, but she is also mother to one of our kinder students and a sister to one of our 7th-grade students. Every day Ms. Galindo welcomes the preschool students and their families into the building. Many families have made comments about her smile each day as being what they needed to see as they leave their 4-year-old inside the school. The range of flexibility to offer help to everyone is large. Our school benefits from having Ms. Galindo as part of it with us. The three words used to describe Ms. Galindo are inspiring, friendly, and helpful.
