NEIGHBORHOOD BUS CAROLING
DECEMBER 12
Mr. Bush and a team of teacher volunteers are doing it again! A bus full of Kincaid Choristers will be traveling through our community neighborhoods to bring smiles and cheer through their lovely voices. This tradition began during COVID times when we were unable to have guests in our school. This event was so touching that it has continued for several years now. More information about the times and routes will be shared.
*******************************************************************
KEEP READING!
Did you know that pleasure reading can positively impact
your child’s overall academic success? Whether you are cuddling up and reading a book to your child, or your child is enjoying a book on their own, reading is so beneficial!
We are almost to our mid-year goal of 1 million minutes! Keep reading and logging your minutes into Beanstack! We plan to celebrate 1 million minutes on January. Look for more information coming on our Bedtime, Books and Beanstack event…happening January 18th!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AT KINCAID
Birthday treats can be pre-ordered through the café only by using this order link. Do not send in treats, balloons, or party invitations for select students. Use Membership Toolkit to contact other families about birthday parties
Parents can also have their child’s birthday displayed on the school marquee using this order link.
*******************************************************************
CREATE A BOOK TOGETHER
Make a handmade book together by putting blank pages together and adding construction paper for the cover. You and your child could write a series of books, documenting family memories and funny stories. Ask your child to contribute, in whatever way appropriate, to the writing and illustrations. Discuss appropriate titles and create a collection of “books” for your family bookshelf.
