KES kicked off the STAR (Super Terrific Amazing Readers) program for kindergarten through third grade students on Friday, September 2. The program is designed to encourage reading at home.
Kindergarten and first grade students will read 100 books and second and third grade students will read 2000 minutes. Students who meet the reading goal for their grade level will be invited to attend a special field trip in the spring.
The Springfield Cardinals donated 20 tickets to the school for the Labor Day game against the Arkansas Travelers, which were given away in sets of four to five children as a part of the reading program kick-off.
Kirbyville baseball coach, Willy Morgan, was the guest speaker for the baseball themed kick-off. He told the students about when he used to be a "Kirbyville kid" just like them and how he loved baseball. He explained how he became better and better at the sport and how it allowed him to attend college with a scholarship. He also shared a brief history of baseball and answered student questions.
