FROM THE OFFICE....

Welcome back, everyone!

We have had a GREAT first week of school and everyone is settling in nicely to the 2023-2024 school year!

Our staff is looking forward to meeting KS Families on Wednesday, Sept. 20th for our "Meet the Teacher" evening! Pizza will be available from 5:30pm - 6:30pm and classrooms will be open from 6pm - 7pm for families to see where your child(ren) spend their days at school!

Cross Country Running (for Grade 1 - 6) will begin very soon - stay tuned for more information coming home soon about this exciting opportunity!

We are looking forward to another great year working, learning and playing together at Keppel-Sarawak!

As always, our door is always open and we are only a phone call or visit away.

2023-24 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND HERE(or by going to our Kindergarten Registration page under the Families/ Communities tab).

Take care and see you soon!

Your partners in education,

Laurie Gilkinson (Principal) & Brent Thompson (Vice-Principal)

LIBRARY PROJECT UPDATES:
Our Library Project is in FULL SWING! So far we have raised just over $30,000 for this project.....WAY TO GO COUGARS!

Our BWDSB maintenance team has been incredibly supportive in the demolition process of this project over the summer. We have a clean slate ready to welcome our new and improved library furniture.

Check out this video from a former Keppel Cougar who had a very special message for us last year......

True to her word, Cheryl Hickey (host of ET Canada) attended our Spring Carnival fundraiser as well as our Keppel's Got Talent Show where she was part of a grand-finale of getting a pie in the face, along with several KS teachers, as part of our fundraising challenge for this Library Project!

Cheryl has also been instrumental in partnering with some Canadian companies to garner some additional support for our project!

Cheryl is a true example of how small home towns hold a special place in your heart and "Once a KS cougar - always a KS cougar! We are forever grateful for her support with this project!

We do need to raise an additional $10,000 to ensure our project if fully completed this fall. Furniture is set to be delivered and installed around Thanksgiving and, based on the plans that have been provided to us, we have definitely achieved our goal of creating a welcoming, comfortable, updated learning space for all of our students to enjoy! Stay-tuned as we keep you posted on this project and thank you to all who have supported our cause!
