Hello Everyone!
I want to thank all of you who came to our exciting annual MKS meeting last night. It was great to see all the support for our school and continuing its efforts to fund the arts programs at Keppel. You all are an amazing group of dedicated and passionate parents. I am honored to continue leading this group for the next year and couldn't wish for a better board to work along side of me. Joanne Pingry has gone above and beyond this last year as our treasurer and I am thrilled to be working with her. Betsy Ames will also continue as our secretary. She just happens to also be our PTA President and her commitment to this school amazes me. She does it all with such grace and ease. Chris Walters, also known as the Keppel parent that won't ever leave, is truly one of the most respected people around. She continues to help our school in ways no one will ever see. She is the true meaning of "team player". Her guidance to all of us has helped create the community we all felt last night. She is selfless, smart, hard-working, passionate and compassionate. She is an inspiration. She will continue to be our Auditor and we are all very thankful for that.
All of you at the meeting last night know that after all the business was taken care of we discussed the important event that is just around the corner. We are having our Harvest Festival on Friday, Oct. 5th. This is the funnest afternoon for the kids. They love it! We are behind on our planning stages at this point and could use some help. We got some amazing dads to volunteer to put together some new games for the kids. In fact, two dads this morning have already started doing the inventorying and have looked into making new exciting games. If you are interested in helping with that, please email us at our blog contact. If you can help in other ways during the week, please email us as well. The day of the event we need the most help. We put together a schedule of parents helping at all the various booths and food stations. Please let us know if you can help on the actual day.
Thank you again to all of you wonderful volunteers. You are appreciated by everyone at Keppel. Our kids are very lucky.....
If you ever want to write something and have it on our blog, please submit it to us and we will post it for you.
See you at the Harvest Festival!
