PTA NEWS
KEALING PTA MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY OF SERVICEWe are excited to announce that we have secured approval from AISD to have an outdoor day of service to honor Martin Luther King Jr's legacy of service and bring our Kealing community together safely to spruce up our gardens and grounds.
This service day will be the first step toward establishing more outdoor learning spaces that our teachers, neighbors, and community can use flexibly during covid, but also for years to come.
We hope you will join us for this first service day of 2020-21 and come learn about the opportunity to get involved monthly if you end up loving your experience!
In addition to leading the reimagining of the design and usage of our outdoor space, Science and Gardening Teacher Catherine Bergman will be conducting some mini nature talks/walks to share information about the various ecosystems around our school and how we are exploring enhancing them.
The service day will be on Saturday, January 16th, 2021 from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm (Rainout day will be MLK day, Monday, January 18th, 2021).
Covid Protocols:
Four requirements:
Additional safety precautions:
Catch up on some healthy exercise, safe friendship building, and plenty of Vitamin D as you pitch in and help. Whether you want to dig holes for trees, spread mulch, weed, plant, or pick up trash around campus, there is a way for you to help!!
Questions can be directed to chair Angie Bealko at mlkdayofservice@kealingpta.org or 512-652-8255.
BOOK DRIVE & PTA SERVICE PROJECT
Do you have gently used books at home that you don't want any longer? As a community, we are looking to collect as many books as possible to eventually distribute to our feeder schools, Kealing students and elsewhere.
We will collect books starting in mid-January but want you to start creating a book giveaway pile at home NOW! 🙂
Types of books: ALL books, levels Pre-K to 12th grade. Books written in all languages will be accepted.
Collection sites: Kealing will be a collection site but we need more sites! We would like collection sites all over the city. If your family is willing to host a collection site, please contact Ms. Fernandez at kiersten.fernandez@austinisd.org to submit your address as a potential contactless, drop-off location.
Thank you! Drop Off Sites for the Book Drive and Service Project
WE AREN’T JUST MAKING A YEARBOOK, WE’RE MAKING HISTORY...
The 2021 Kealing yearbook staff is hard at work producing a book for our school community to commemorate this one-of-a-kind school year. It’s going well, but we need your help.
Important note: PLEASE don’t wait to order your book. If we order fewer books, we will sell out and you will miss your chance to own this very special publication!
