Hello Kildeer Families!
I am in awe by the amazing turnout we had at our family celebration. The night was a dream come true to have all of us learn from and about each other. I truly had a wonderful time sharing the special evening with my own family. Many people approached me that evening and asked if we will do it again? Absolutely! Please take a moment to enjoy some photos from the evening below. I am working to put together a video as well. More to come!

On Wednesday morning, September 26th, all of the students and staff at Kildeer will be participating in the Cross Country Cougar Challenge which will last approximately one hour. This is an annual event to promote fun and fitness, as well as a sense of community for everyone in our building. Students are asked to bring a water bottle with their name on it which can be used after the child is finished. If your child chooses to wear sun screen it must be applied before school. No staff member is allowed to apply sunscreen to any child in the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
This is not a race……….and students may run or walk as they so choose and stop whenever they feel it necessary. Students are also encouraged to wear Kildeer Spirit clothes or our school colors of blue and gold. We hope for a beautiful sunny day!
We look forward to spending this time with your children!
Mr. Emde and Ms. Groessl
Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Vail Kieser
