At Kingsley, the staff is constantly asking ourselves "how we can make our school values come alive?" Our school values are:

• Community, it's who we are,

• Growth, it's what we promise, &

• Innovation, it's how we serve.

Our values push us to find opportunities for students to build community & grow their leadership skills in innovative ways. Hmmmmmm.....so how does that look at Kingsley? I hoped you would ask! There is nothing I love more than to brag on our AMAZING STUDENTS! Below are a few recent examples of our OUTSTANDING STUDENTS leading. #CavPride

• Students in the Black Student Union created student announcements that celebrate significant contributions of Black Americans.

• Students in Not In Our School developed bulletin boards to honor Black Americans & will lead Kindness Week. Kindness Week is the last full week of February.

• Students in the KJ Cover rebranded the Kingsley student newspaper & launched it using an updated format. Read the latest edition of the KJ Cover here!

• 8th graders will host a Career Fair later this month for 6th & 7th graders. This is a Kingsley tradition that we are reinventing due to the multiple safety measure we carefully adhere to daily with in-person children.

• 8th grade BELT students have reimagined the Cav Cash Store in a safe format. The presented their idea to the KJHS PTO & at a faculty meeting. 8th graders anticipate launching it later this semester.

• Students may join the newly formed, Mural Club, to create an image with local artist, Vince Bobrosky. The mural will embody images to embrace equity along with our school values.

The staff play "behind the scenes" roles in all of these opportunities coming to life. Our hope is that we create a space & provide support so students take center stage, growing in knowledge, skills and confidence as they do so.
