Come Make a Family Connection Activity Book
Save the date on December 9th! We’ll be meeting in the big yurt at Little Fireweed from 1:30-3:30 to build Family Connection Activity books.

What’s a Family Connection Activity Book?
So glad you asked!

You and your child will build a book full of fun and educational activities that you can complete together over the winter break. You’ll have until January 13th to do all of the activities you selected together. You’ll sign off on each activity your student completes, and return the completed book to your child’s teacher. Each student who completes their book will get a small prize! Completed books will then be entered in a drawing for larger prizes, held on January 13th.
What is Title 1?
The KPBSD Title I program is made available through federal grants to improve the academic achievement of students in school serving populations of poverty. Money is allocated to schools based on economic need, measured through free and reduced lunch enrollments.
Qualifying schools may choose to operate a targeted assistance or school wide program model based on their school’s identified needs. Students in a targeted assistance program qualify for Title I services based on academic need as indicated by universal screening.
KPBSD Title I funds are used in a variety of ways, including:

Title I Preschool
Title I Teachers and Paraprofessionals
Intervention Supplies and Materials
Professional Development
Parent and Family Involvement
Extended School (before and after school tutoring)

Things to bring to this Solstice Celebration:

An apple with a short candle in it, secured with tinfoil in the core so it is stable. It helps also to cut the bottom of the apple flat so it can sit flat. Bring a apple candle for everyone in your family who would like to walk the Solstice Spiral . (Some apple candle holders will be available for those without!!)
Wonder, joy, and reverence

Soup and bread to follow spiral walk!
