Hello Cougar Nation!

It is Show Week at Kincaid! Every spring, Mr. Bush, our fabulous music teacher, and founder of PSB Creative Arts, reveals the most incredible performances. Students work tirelessly from try-outs, to practices, and rehearsals…and now it’s showtime!

This year Moana Jr. is being performed in “theater in the round”. You are guaranteed to be amazed by the talents of our students, the costumes, set, singing and choreography!

Limited seats are still available! Click here!

THIS WEEK
ERIN’S LAW LESSONS

This week our counselors will be visiting classrooms to teach students’ personal body safety, and how to speak up if they are being abused. One of the requirements of this federal law is that schools provide an age-appropriate curriculum to all students, which may include a variety of discussions, activities, videos. Letters were sent home last week to all parents so you are aware of the topics being taught in each grade level:

Kindergarten Lessons
1st Grade Lessons
2nd/3rd Grade Lessons
4th/5th Grade Lessons

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Join your friends for the annual Northeast Cobb Community Egg Drop at Sprayberry High School on March 30, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hosted by Piedmont Church and Cobb County School District, and sponsored by Superior Plumbing and C&S Paving, this event will be fun for the whole family. There will be food, games, a DJ, activities, and of course egg hunts for everyone. 

Kids will marvel as a helicopter drops thousands of eggs onto the Sprayberry High School football field to kick off the hunt. There will be more than 90,000 eggs and candy for the various hunts.

The funds raised from the Egg Drop will go to support multiple organizations in the community. Last year, more than $14,000 went right back to the community, with Kincaid receiving $500 from this event!

WRITE A CONVICE ME LETTER

Writing isn’t just about telling stories or reporting on books. There are many ways your child can use words, including trying to convince others to agree with her. You can help her practice this type of writing by letting her argue with you—in writing!

Choose a topic you don’t agree on, such as allowance or bedtime. Have your child write you a letter trying to convince you to change your mind. The catch? She has to use facts, quotes and logic to back up her argument.
