KMS PTO Natick

Each year the PTO awards scholarships to our former KMS students who are graduating from high school. Congratulations to all of our NPS graduates this year, especially our former Cougars and our Scholarship winners!

GRAB N' GO needs a few more items ASAP! Big thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We're still looking for folks to donate a few items to include in next week's Grab N' Go for teachers and staff. If you'd like to help, here's the sign-up sheet. Items will need to be dropped off or sent to the address listed in the spreadsheet by June 8th. Thanks for chipping in!

Next week KMS will host all current 4th graders during the school day to tour our school. We welcome our new families with open arms. If you missed the Rising 5th Grade parent orientation last week, here is the video from your PTO.

Our Lilja friends invite us all to their carnival today. Note the new time!

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR TOMORROW, NOW 1:00 - 5:00PM : Due to the possibility of storms tomorrow evening, the ride company has requested that the carnival end earlier than planned. Their crew must dismantle rides using two-story ladders, and they need to avoid working during potential lightning and high winds.

Out of an abundance of caution, the carnival will now run from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM (one hour earlier than originally scheduled, allowing the full 4 hours).

As a result, volunteer shifts need to be adjusted. If you are able to help at one of these times, please sign up.

Set-up: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Volunteers originally scheduled for 5:00–6:00 PM: Please consider signing up for the 1:00–2:00 PM shift if at all possible.

Clean-up crew: If you are available, please begin at 5:00 PM.

PLEASE SIGN UP AT THE LINK BELOW.

If you were scheduled for a 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, or 4:00 PM shift, your volunteer time has not changed.

Thank you for your flexibility and quick response as we work to keep everyone safe. Our goal is to have a fun and safe time for all involved (students, volunteers and carnival workers) and we appreciate your help.

***If you are in a neighborhood text/FB group OR a grade level specific FB group, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. Planning outdoor events is no small feat and we appreciate the help!

THANK YOU AND SEE YOU TOMORROW!

Doing any Spring Cleaning? So are we!

Here are two reminders:

1. Check Lost & Found at KMS lobby. Many items need their homes back!

2. Donating items no longer needed in your home? Natick Service Council is accepting items now (especially anything Natick pride) and if something is not acceptable for donation please consider supporting our schools by dropping textile recyclable items in the bins at our NPS school campuses.
