As we wrap up another school year, we want to thank our incredible community for the support, kindness, and generosity folks have shown the McKinney-Vento Program and the students we serve.
This school year we identified 282 students facing housing insecurity across the KPBSD - this is a 23% increase in identification from last year and we know with certainty that this number should be higher.
Behind every number is a child, a youth, a family, and a story. Because of donations from our community partners, our students had increased access to their education, clothing, food, school supplies, caps and gowns, and a variety of other reminders that they matter.
Thank you to everyone who helps us stand beside our MVP students and families. We are grateful for each of you and look forward to continuing this important work together.
With gratitude, your KPBSD MVP team -
Kelly King

📣📣 School Staff Spotlight 📣📣
MVP would like to highlight Kenai Central High School staff member Misty Hamilton. Misty is a trusted face - one of kindness, compassion, and humor for students and staff - and her dedication is an integral piece of the work MVP does for her school. She sends referrals, helps us communicate with students and families, keep us posted on student need, is a strong advocate at the site-level, and helps celebrate every win for our shared kids.
Misty, what you do makes a difference every day, and we appreciate you. 👏🏽 ⭐️ 👏🏽

A heartfelt “thank you” to Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center and their generous donation to the McKinney-Vento Program. PROC has been a consistent supporter of the program and the work we do to remove barriers for unhoused children and youth across the KPBSD. We appreciate their efforts and all the ways they give back and build into our wonderful community.
Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center was proud to present a check to KPBSD's McKinney Vento Program. Giving back to this amazing community brings us such joy!💚💙🤍
