The Ice Cream Social Is On! . . . Inside!
After looking at the weather situation, we've decided to move the ice cream social inside King School this evening.
What you need to know:
1. Arrive no earlier than 6 PM, please. The fun tonight ends at 8 PM.
2. No Parking In Front Of King School. Drop off in front of school is fine, but plans to park on Waldenwood Drive.
3. Check in at the front doors (same place we checked in during the Silent Auction)
4. Games will be in the school hallways
5. The moonwalk and cakewalk will be in the multipurpose room
6. Food and drinks in the gym (and the gym only, please)
Students will be excited tonight, I'm sure. Our indoor setup tonight may require greater parent awareness of where children are and supervision of children than during previous ice cream social events. It might help if you remind your children that Mr. Karr expects them to have excellent behavior tonight. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Ice Cream Social Reminders
I am looking forward to the ice cream social tomorrow evening. I hope you'll be able to attend--rain or shine--beginning at 6 PM.
Parking: As always, no parking in the front of King School. The front drive is for drop-off only. Please plan to park on Waldenwood Drive.
Safety:
1. In case of severe weather, either move inside the school to an area away from windows (music room, interior corridors, bathrooms.
2. I am asking parents watch children carefully this evening. Last year, non-King student behavior was unruly, and it resulted in a King student being hurt. Thank you.
See you tomorrow - wearing Maize and Blue!
Kevin

Cost for wristbands will be $5, which includes access to all the games, cakewalk and one ice cream. Tickets for just ice cream will be available for purchase as well as pizza and drinks.

This is such a fun annual event! It's a great way to celebrate all the hard work the kids have achieved for the year. In addition, this will be our last opportunity to thank Mr. Karr for all that he has done at King. We will certainly miss him!

WEAR MAIZE AND BLUE!
As a result of Mr. Karr's new assignment for next year, he requests that that all families say "good-bye" by wearing Maize and Blue to the ice cream social. This includes fans who root for Ohio State, Michigan State, and other lesser universities.
As always, the ice cream social is a family event. Children cannot be dropped off without parents, and parents are responsible for supervising their children (of course). I hope every family will be able to attend!
Online Safety and Digital Citizenship Presentation
Please join the Ann Arbor Public Schools, the Washtenaw Area Council for Children, and the Ann Arbor Police for a panel presentation about online safety and digital citizenship. Topics will include safety, privacy, predators, cyberbullying, sexting, and the law. Students are welcome to attend.

Mr. Karr's Assignment for 2011-12
As I read over what you received from the district offices this afternoon, I want to clarify and share that my new assignment will be as principal of Mitchell Elementary School in Ann Arbor. It will be an exciting and challenging assignment . . . and one I look forward to.
That said, I have loved my time at King School. The staff, parents, and students have been wonderful. I couldn't have been a luckier principal over the last six years. It is, frankly, very difficult to leave and a bit emotional as well. I deeply appreciate the work we've done at King. It has been exciting and rewarding and is a time I will always recall fondly.
As you know, Mrs. Kathy Morhous, most recently principal of Burns Park, will be coming to King for 2011-12. She is an excellent principal and one that I think the King community will embrace.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the King School Ice Cream Social on June 10 if not sooner.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Space Camp Update
Each year our fifth grade families and teachers work together to decide whether or not we'll be able to send our fifth grade students to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. This year teachers were willing to sponsor the experience and parents supported having students attend as well as financial support. We are approaching the time when students "blast off" for Space Camp at midnight on Sunday, May 22. You might enjoy following the 2011 Space Camp mission on the Space Camp Website:

Time to enroll new families :-)
I am writing to request your help. If you know of a family who will be new to King School for next year, would you please help me and remind them to come to school to enroll at their earliest convenience.
If you encounter questions that you cannot answer, I am happy to help. Feel free to ask the family to call the school office or email me directly.
Sincerely,
Kevin Karr
