Multicultural Greeting

Do you speak multiple languages at home? Would you like an opportunity to celebrate your family's culture or background? Would your child like to share a greeting with our school community? We need your help! Inspired by the spirit of cross cultural connection and unity that comes with an event like the upcoming Winter Olympics, we would love to share, highlight and celebrate the many different cultures, languages, and traditions that make up our KLO community! 

We are looking for Kloefkorn cubs who are willing and able to share a greeting in a language other than English via the morning announcements. This language could be one that is spoken at home or perhaps is important to the identity, culture or background of your family! 

Please help us in highlighting and celebrating our differences, our differences are what make our community strong and beautiful! Thank you for helping us celebrate the amazing diversity that makes up our KLO community! 

*If your student would be interested in sharing a greeting with our school community in a language other than English please fill out this GOOGLE FORM. If we have enough interest/ participation we will have students read a greeting on the morning announcements.

Lost & Found

All unclaimed items were donated or discarded during winter break.

Dressing for Winter

We have now entered the time of year where temperatures can fluctuate greatly. It's important for our students to dress for the weather. The temperature and weather conditions are the determining factor on inside or outside recess. Have your student dress in layers with hats, gloves and warm coats so we can be outside as much as possible. Thanks for your help!
