TONIGHT the PTA will host our annual Picnic at the Playground and 6th Graders vs. Teachers/Staff Volleyball Games!

From 5:30-8:00 PM, visit food trucks on the blacktop area (families can also bring their own picnics), play at the KMES playground, and then cheer on our 6th graders starting at 6:30 PM to celebrate them before they officially promote up to middle school. Join us for an evening of food, music, and fun!
