Media Center News

As the end of year approaches, please note that the LAST DAY for King students to check out books will be Friday, June 3.  

Please help your child return all library books by Monday, June 13.  

Reminder reports will be sent home on colored paper if your child needs to return anything---check those backpacks, or feel free to email me at okeefea@aaps.k12.mi.us if you have questions or concerns.  We DO make mistakes here sometimes with 400+ kids and thousands of books, so don't hesitate to contact me!

It is always my wish that children don't get overly upset about lost books--please reinforce the idea that borrowing books brings us much more joy in life than it does stress!  No one is in trouble, we can always work things out.  

Thanks for your support,

Mrs. Ann O'Keefe

Mr. Karr's Assignment for 2011-12

Dear King Families,
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:

Hello MLK 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.
