Ice cold lemonade! These cute little Cardinals have hosted several lemonade stands throughout the summer. What did they choose to do with the money? Donate it to their school, of course! The funds will be used to purchase back-to-school materials from the wish lists of our early childhood classrooms at KES. We’d like to give a special thanks to these little Cardinals for their generosity, to Madisyn Pennington and her helpers for organizing the lemonade stands, as well as the Proctor family for hosting them. It is greatly appreciated!

We know that KHS students are eager to see their schedules for the upcoming school year. We are finalizing a few things and plan to have the schedules ready soon. We will be sure to make an announcement as soon as they are ready to view on Skyward. Thank you for your patience!
