A message from Principal Steven McFarlane
Kilmer Community,
The PTA went above and beyond this week for Staff Appreciation Week, and on behalf of all the Kilmer staff, THANK YOU! Between the soda bar, Anita’s burritos, Kona Ice, and more, we are grateful for the time, energy, and money you put into showing your appreciation.
Thank you to Danielle Sweet and Gaby Chaves for being the faculty advisors for National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) this year. Last night, Kilmer inducted 155 8th grade students into NJHS. Before the ceremony, there was a gallery walk where students presented their service-learning projects to families and staff members. It’s a great reminder of the many students we have in this building that not only take their academics seriously, but service to their community as well. The future is bright!
Finally, students got off to a strong start with our Reading SOLs on Wednesday. Next week students will take their Math SOLs, and the 8th graders will take the Science SOL.
Have a wonderful weekend and as always, reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Steven McFarlane
Principal
