A Message from Mrs. Moity
Kelly Mill Families,
Another great week in the books, Colts! It has been so much fun seeing our school settle into routines, our classrooms come alive with learning, and our students continue to show us what it means to be Colts Who Care! As we look ahead, we are excited to begin welcoming families back into the building as lunch visitors and volunteers after Labor Day.
We LOVE having our families involved, and we are grateful for every person who gives their time to support our students. To help us follow district protocols and keep everyone safe, Partner Connect is the first step for both lunch visitors and volunteers. Be sure to read the information below for the steps you need to complete and important dates.
There are lots of ways to get involved at Kelly Mill, and we are so thankful for the incredible support of our KME community. We truly are better together!
Be sure to rest, relax and recharge with those you love!
Love,
Mrs. Moity

Let's Build A Playground for All
Let's Build A Playground for All
🎈 Building the Future of Play: How YOU Can Help Our Inclusive Playground! 🚀
Kelly Mill Family, the excitement around our brand-new Inclusive Playground Project in partnership with the Hope for Hall Forsyth chapter is at an all-time high! Now that our plans are officially approved, we are laser-focused on the most important phase of this journey: bringing this dream to life for our kids.
As the host school for multiple special education programs, including the Orthopedic Impairment Program, Kelly Mill is home to students of all abilities who deserve to play side-by-side. Right now, traditional playground surfaces like mulch and inaccessible equipment mean some of our students have to watch the fun from the sidelines. Our new design features accessible rubber surfacing, custom ramps, sensory-friendly spaces, adaptive swings, a zip line with supportive seating, and a communication board so every child can belong, participate, and thrive.
To turn these renders into reality, we need our entire KME community to rally together!
💙 3 Ways Families & Community Members Can Get Involved Today
💙 3 Ways Families & Community Members Can Get Involved Today
Make a Direct Family Donation: Every contribution—big or small—directly purchases playground equipment and surfacing. Visit hopeforhall.com/donate to give today!
Use the PEACH Education Tax Credit (At $0 Net Cost to You!): Georgia taxpayers can redirect their Georgia state income tax dollars directly to the Kelly Mill Inclusive Playground project. You receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on what you owe in state taxes—meaning your support costs you nothing out of pocket while making a massive impact at KME!
Spread the Word: Share our mission with neighbors, grandparents, and local groups who care about accessibility and inclusion in Forsyth County!
🏢 Calling All Local Businesses & Corporate Partners!
🏢 Calling All Local Businesses & Corporate Partners!
Are you a business owner, entrepreneur, or corporate leader looking to make a lasting, highly visible impact right here in our community? We want to partner with you!
We offer prominent corporate sponsorship opportunities ranging from individual play elements to signature naming rights that will feature your logo permanently on our main entrance donor board. Aligning your business with this project shows thousands of local families that you stand for inclusion, accessibility, and student well-being. (Plus, businesses can also utilize the PEACH Tax Credit for up to $25,000 or 75% of their annual GA income tax liability!)
Together, we are taking our kids off the sidelines and putting them right in the center of the action. Let’s show everyone what the Kelly Mill community can do when we pull together!
