We are so grateful to our fabulous PTA who showered us with appreciation this month! As a community everyone is always hard at work supporting Kings Park ES and we are extremely thankful.  

Help Needed

KPES Book Fair: Nov 16th – Dec 2nd 

Students will have the opportunity to shop at our Scholastic Book Fair during Library classes during November 16th – December 2nd.  Please see flier in last Friday’s take home folder for details.

Book Fair volunteers are needed to:

  • Support shoppers during Library classes
  • Help with set-up and pack-up

Interested parents and guardians of KP Lions, please fill out this google form: https://forms.gle/SoMm4ZYcyhvxD4vV7. Our Book Fair Schedule is linked here to help you plan.

*Please note that while volunteering on site, younger siblings are unable to join along. 

Book Fair Loose Change Drive for Books

As part of our Winter Scholastic Book Fair, we are holding a loose change drive to purchase books for students with economic need in our school community. Students and families, who would like to donate, may place any amount of loose change (pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters) or a dollar in one of the “All for Books” boxes located in the main office or library.  Slips will be available beside the boxes for donors to add their name to the “All for Books” display in the Library.  Thank you!
