A message from Principal Steven McFarlane

Kilmer Community,

We’ve really settled into the school year, and students continue to work hard in class (while having some fun too!). A reminder about our upcoming PTA meeting this Tuesday, October 14th. We’ll meet at 7 pm, continuing with our hybrid model. I’ll send out a link next week if you plan on joining virtually. 

Also, if you haven't already, please join the PTA. As a thank you for your support, the PTA will be raffling off two $100 Amazon gift cards! Everyone who joins prior to 8:30 am on Tuesday, October 14th will be automatically entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. As always, reach out if you have any questions. 

Sincerely, 

Steven McFarlane

Principal
