Tanger Outlet Center makes donations to each school

The Kirbyville School District thanks the Tanger Outlet Center for making donations in the amount of $1000 to each school last week. The money was raised through the TangerBucks program. Tanger Outlets across the country have been lending a helping hand to schools in the communities they serve for over 27 years. The money is raised in several ways: through participating schools receiving an equal share of $1 per coupon book that is sold nationwide, through direct sales of Tanger Coupon Books at school events (the entire $5 goes to the school) or through distribution of printed vouchers for the school that can be taken to the Tanger Outlet Center and the entire sale amount of the coupon booklet goes to the school. KMS and KES will be participating in this program again beginning June 1 for the upcoming school year. Watch for vouchers to come home periodically during the school year.

"Floored" by the progress...

The new Kirbyville Preschool and PAT now has a floor poured! Rapid progress is predicted this week with the steel beams going up during the sunny weather that has been forcasted for the entire week.

Emergency Procedures

On behalf of the Kirbyville administrative team, I wanted to brief you on our emergency situation this morning. At approximately 8:30 a.m. prior to the warning being issued by the National Weather Service students, faculty, staff and parents were sheltered in each building according to our emergency procedures, based on our observation that threatening weather was approaching. Everyone in the buildings remained in the sheltered area until approximately 9:30 a.m. when all threat of weather danger had passed.

The preschool students remained inside the building through lunchtime as a precautionary measure in case severe weather redeveloped. They resumed normal activities.

Thank-you for respecting our need to keep the phone lines open in this emergency situation and keeping calls to the office to a minimum. We are dedicated to the safety of our students, faculty, staff and patrons and always make decisions with this in mind.

Kindergarten Field Trip

The kindergarten students had a fantastic time last Thursday on their field trip. The first stop on the trip was Stockstill Park for some playtime and a picnic lunch. The next destination was the Butterfly Palace where students learned about the butterfly life cycle through a 3-D video, a presentation about butterflies and the opportunity for exploration in a tropical setting full of "flying flowers." The students also found their way through a mirrored maze and observed other insects, reptiles and amphibians. The students were respectful and well-behaved. We can all be proud of the way they represented our school in the community.
