A message from Principal Steven McFarlane
Kilmer Community,
Last weekend, our students did a fantastic job performing in the musical Once Upon A Mattress. A huge thank you to Ms. Nikisha Kozik and Ms. Marileigh Blake (and the many parents behind the scenes) for coaching our students through the countless hours of rehearsals and prep work to pull off a fantastic show.
Tomorrow, our track and field season kicks off at Herndon HS. If you’re available, come out and cheer on our Cougars.
A quick note about our upcoming SOL dates. Due to a few logistical issues, the Math SOL has been moved to Wednesday, May 13th. It’s still the same week it was originally planned for, just a couple of days earlier.
Finally, our student ambassadors have done a great job hosting our rising 7th graders. We’ve had a few tours this week, and a few more are scheduled for next week. Thanks to Student Services for putting together a great program for our future Cougars.
Have a wonderful weekend, and as always, reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Steven McFarlane
Principal

Sarim A. - You are doing a great job in our SOL prep group, and I appreciate that you always share your ideas!
Everest Y. - Thank you for helping pick up the pieces to the chess set that exploded in our room! I thought it was really nice that you cared enough to take the pieces over to the kids in the next room when you saw that they'd left some behind. Thank you!
