#GreatMindsAtWork
As Thanksgiving approaches we want to take a moment share how grateful we are at KPES. Our students, staff, families and greater community come together. We are wishing all of the KP Lions and their families a safe, healthy and restful Thanksgiving Break.
As Thanksgiving approaches our first grade students in Mrs. Berry's class explored shapes and counting while creating turkeys. Each turkey was unique and the creative.
