Dear Kildeer Families,
This week, we had a taste of both winter and spring. On Monday, we came to school with snow on the trees and today we have beautiful flowers blooming in front of our school. I think we are all eager for the more consistent and nice weather!
I want to give kudos to our amazing students for a very smooth and efficient fire drill today. I was impressed how well everyone followed directions and we might have even broken a record with our time! Way to go Kildeer Cougars!
