    The purpose of the baking club is to educate and empower students to make nourishing food choices through hands-on learning. Baking and cooking are life skills and support math, science, language, social emotional development, physical development (fine motor skills) and cognitive development. 

    The baking club is for 4th & 5th graders. A teacher's recommendation is required. It will run from November until April.  The baking club will meet twice a week. Monday & Wednesday from 3:30-5:15pm

    The faculty advisor is JoAnne Williams assisted by faculty advisors Natalie Wiedenmann, Melissa Taylor and Sharon Atkinson.

  • Jump Rope Team

    Jump Rope Team Provides an opportunity for selected students to learn basic to advanced jumping skills as they create individual routines and work with others to create partner and/or small group performances. 

    I hope to have my experienced members available early in the year (tentatively starting August 9) to perform during school events as needed for different events as they arise. 

    We plan to have two large parent events in the spring. One will be a family "Jump and Jive" tentatively planned for an evening in March, where parents may come and learn skills from their children and jump with them and leave with a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and snacks. 

    The other parent event will be in May. This will be a team performance where parents come and watch. We also plan to perform for the students during the school day.

    Additionally, I will be looking into other performance opportunities.

    The faculty advisor is Joanie Sullivan (but I hope to add other helpers).

  • KES Chorus

    In chorus, we seek to make music through the art of singing.

    The KES Chorus meets on Tuesday mornings at 7:15 and Thursday afternoons at 3:00. We have about three performances each year. Four 5th graders are selected each year for the GCPS Elementary Honor Chorus.

    Each rehearsal we will work on our vocal development and rehearse music for our performances. Students are not expected to be perfect singers, but they are expected to try their best and contribute to the group in a positive way. We want to be a source of encouragement for our peers and support each other as we grow as musicians.

    The faculty advisor is Tobias Guzman.

  • KES Prancing Patriots

  • No Place for Hate

    No Place for Hate
    I work with the No Place For Hate student committee on No Place For Hate activities.  This committee was supposed to meet four times this school year, but we have already exceeded that.  For the remaining school year, I will meet with this group on an as-needed basis.  We have two more activities, so I anticipate two more meetings.  I meet with the students during their recess period, which is from 11:30-12:00.   No specific day is scheduled.  
    I work with my 2nd and 3rd grade groups during their recess times.  I have a 2nd and 3rd grade attendance group, and I check in with them daily.  We meet once a month now because we've already completed six weeks of small group counseling.  I will start another 2nd and 3rd grade group in November.  I'll send you information on those groups once I have them established.
    2nd grade groups - 12:10
    3rd grade groups - 11:05
    The faculty advisor is Patricia Garrison
