Playground Toy

Exciting news Tigers! PTSA (with YOUR help) raised more than $50k this year!
We have been pouring it back into the school all year long, and are now so happy to announce BIG plans to cap off this year.
Announcing the WhirlyQ! This super fun playground toy will be installed (hopefully this summer) and we couldn’t be more excited for the kids. Whoo-hoo!

Display of Olivia Sua’s Butterflies

June 9, 2025
Remember when PTSA and KCLS brought children’s illustrator Olivia Sua to the school for an assembly?
She led the kids through a beautiful butterfly craft, which were assembled together in three large canvases.
We are excited that the nurse’s office (where kids often need a little extra TLC) will be forever brightened by the kids’ creations!

Baby chicks in Kindergarten classes!

May 31, 2025
PTSA granted the fuzziest auditions to Mrs. Kober’s class!
Kindergartners got to observe the life cycle of these baby chicks as they hatched into adorable babies (who all just went home to live a very loved life with a local backyard flock).
Kindergartners learned about the birds and wrote reports on them while practicing gentleness and respect for their classroom pets!

Yearbook Club

May 31, 2025
For the first time this year, PTSA members Dane Halfdane and Michelle Conlan, with the help of Mr. Del Rosso, formed and ran our first ever Yearbook Club!
Club members took photos and videos at assemblies and on spirit days, and at after-school events. With 25 eager students in the club, the challenge was always finding enough work to match their enthusiasm. They ended up branching out to a collaborative art project of creating a photogenic backdrop for the talent show and rounded things out with monthly meetings hosting guest speakers who showcased photography and design skills.
CEPTSA and Riverview Education Foundation co-funded iPads for the club to take photos and make slideshows. This will also enable students next year to be more active participants in helping with the yearbook layout. PTSA is so proud of this awesome effort!
