Preschoolers on field trip to Hidden Pond

Dear Kings Park Families,

As we move further into the final weeks of the school year, our calendar continues to be filled with important learning experiences, celebrations, and end-of-year activities. Last week, our preschoolers experienced their very first field trip to Hidden Pond Nature Center where they explored the outdoors through hands-on learning and discovery . On Friday, our first grade Writers’ Celebration showcased the writing process and students’ talents as authors of How-To books. Our students certainly know how to learn, create, and shine!

This time of year moves very quickly and we encourage students to continue attending school regularly, staying engaged in learning, and putting forth their very best effort each day. Please continue to review upcoming school communications for important dates, events, and other information. We look forward to celebrating many more accomplishments together in the weeks ahead.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dotty Lin, Mrs. Jenn Burke and Mrs. Anna Kaplan
