Plymouth Plantation

Did You Know That November was Native American Heritage Month?
In recognition of Native American Heritage Month presenters from Plimoth Plantation will come to the King School on Dec 11. The presenters are members of the Wampanoag Nation and they will talk to students from 2nd-5th grade about their nations history as well as about life today. We are very excited to have this opportunity!

T-shirts

'Tis the Season
The Parents Group has recently sent out a fundraising letter. Please donate if you can. All donations, big or small, help the Parent Group reach its goal. The Parent Group funds dinners for school events, gets the King School t-shirts, helps to fund all school field trips and many other valuable initiatives which help make life at the King school fuller, and community centered.
