Kings Park 2021-2022 Theme:
A Space for All
Kings Park has a theme every year! Last year's theme, "Passport to Discovery: Expanding Perspectives" helped our KP community grow and learn in new ways.
Kings Park's theme this year is A Space for All! We look forward to exploring this new theme in fun and creative ways for the 2021-2022 school year. We will kick off our theme with space stories read by astronauts. Watch for these special messages this summer.
