ATTENTION KINCAID DADS!
Want to get involved in giving back to our great school? If you’re looking for a unique opportunity, we’re excited to announce the return of our Kincaid F.B.I. (Fathers Being Involved), starting in early May!
In years past, you’ve probably seen dads assisting with the Friday morning carpool duty, along with other volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. Well, we are re-launching the Kincaid FBI program to coincide with Teacher Appreciation Week and would love to see as many Dads as possible to assist with a couple fun activities we have planned.
If you’d like to learn more and add your name to the list, please reach out to Kevin McAlpin (kmcalpin82@gmail.com) as soon as possible. We will have a few Friday mornings of carpool to close out the 2023-2024 school year, along with a Thank You cookout for our teachers and staff, plus we’d love to get your ideas for other activities we can do for the future.
UPDATE: We have over 20 dads signed up so far!!! Thank you!!!

Birthday treats can be pre-ordered through the café only by May 3rd 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.

“PLAY 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!
