KPS Teachers say "Thanks" to YOU!
KPS teachers host their annual "Thank You" tea

Volunteering at KPS is a privilege that many parents have the opportunity to enjoy, but that doesn’t mean their efforts go unheeded. The help they provide for the teachers and TAs in the classroom, on the playground and during specials is a real value-add to the everyday efforts of the staff.  The teachers and staff recognize this effort and honored all the parent volunteers with their annual Thank You Tea.

Upon entering the KPS cafeteria, parents were greeted by the wonderful artwork, messages and expressions of gratitude created by the children to show just how much class moms, project volunteers and chaperones were appreciated.  But, that was just the beginning.  A heartbreakingly cute choral performance by students spanning the grades at KPS opened the event, accompanied by KPS music teacher Mrs. Schultz.  After their performance KPS Principal Mrs. Pinkerton said a few words of thanks to members of the KPS family, acknowledging their contribution to making a great school even better.

Then, it was time to mingle and nosh over the lovely assortment of delicacies, treats and beverages provided by the Carmel Teacher Association, with additional contributions by the teachers themselves. A thoughtful gift was available for each parent as they left in time for the cafeteria to be set for the students’ lunch.

Perhaps the best part of such a gathering was the chance to chat informally with teachers and other volunteers without having to rush off to attend to this or that task.  The chance to pat each other on the back for a job well done, review projects and ideas and discuss plans for next year instilled in all who attended the sense of teamwork that is so important to successful future events and programs.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated, and thanks to the teachers and staff of KPS, volunteers know that what they do makes a real difference in the daily lives of our children.
