Week of March 13 – 17, 2023
Greetings Cougar Nation!
Did you move your clocks forward? Daylight savings is now in effect as we are moving closer to summer!
Last week was amazing! The Foundation Cougar Run was a huge success! Please see our Facebook page for pictures. In addition, Melanie Dalton Photography was at the event taking complimentary professional pictures…to be available soon. Thank you, Melanie!
COUGAR RUN UPDATE
So far $36,838 has been donated…with thousands more promised through online sponsorships.
Because this fun run is nonprofit, every donation is tax deductible, and Kincaid keeps 100% of every $$$ donated! Money raised will go directly to our STEM program, student celebrations and playground enhancements.

TELL ME HOW
In this activity your child pretends she’s writing to a space alien who doesn’t know anything about our culture. This alien does everything exactly as it’s said or written.
Your child’s job is to choose an everyday task, like brushing her teeth or making a sandwich. Then, she needs to write step-by-step directions about how to do the task for the alien. When she’s done, you get to be the alien and try to follow the steps exactly as she wrote them. She may be surprised at what she left out!
