A message from Andrew Scrivo, Program Director- Youth360

Hi All! Quick last reminder that PreK-2 Parent Collab Night is tonight, and we’d love to have you there!

PreK–2 Parent Collaborative is a relaxed, supportive space to connect with other parents, share what’s working (and what’s hard), and build a few simple tools that help families thrive. It’s prevention-minded in the best way: strengthening connection, routines, and support so things feel a little easier at home.

Tonight’s schedule:
• 5:15–6:15 PM Parent Collab (PreK–2)
• Childcare provided during the parent group
• 6:15–7:00 PM Family-Style Dinner for you and your kiddos

Come as you are, even if it’s been a long day. No pressure to share, just a welcoming place to plug in, eat together, and feel a little more connected.

Hope to see you tonight!

Coming up:

Several “How-To” guides have been added to the Student Nutrition Services page under the “Guides” section. These include step-by-step instructions for:

• Viewing the total balance on a student’s account, including both the PTO (loan) balance and the personal account balance
• Adding funds to a student’s meal account
• Applying for Free and Reduced-Price Meals

These tools are designed to help families better understand and manage their accounts and may reduce some of the confusion we’ve seen this year.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Heritage Night was a huge success!! 4th & 5th graders raised money by preparing a dish that is from their heritage or special to their family in some way. A silent auction was also held with items generously donated from our community. Students served community members and families, raising over $3,000. Funds will go toward KMTA field trips, such as Snow School and Outdoor School for 5th graders. These programs allow students to learn about snow science through hands on exploration.

Thanks to PTA for your support with this event!

Thank you to the Bohart family and the Resurrection Lutheran Church for hosting our event.

A big shout out to the following local businesses for donating auction items!

Apex Fitness ~ a cross-fit fundamentals class!

Ranting Raven ~ tons of wonderful kids gifts and household items

Catalyst Marine ~ $50 gift card for Forest Tides and Treasures

Lavina Dickinson ~ 2 one-hour massages

Ukanuzit ~ two mystery bags

Gypsy Treasure Trunk ~ vase
