Important Information:

  • Kinard’s Character Challenge:
    • At this time of year, as we get busy with the hustle of the season and our schedules get more filled, it can be easy to get overwhelmed or forget about all the great things in our lives. So, it is healthy to take a moment to pause and reflect on what we are grateful for and to whom we can share our thanks. As Oprah Winfrey says, “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
    • Challenge: Take a moment to show your gratitude or express your appreciation to someone at school.



 

  • Your Kinard book fair is HERE!  Come down to your media center and check out what all the book fair has to offer.  We are open each day until 4pm, even during lunch.  Tomorrow and Wednesday we open at 7:30 in the morning and welcome you to bring family to shop with you!  Also, if you get caught reading you can win a $20 Scholastic book fair gift card!  

 

  • What do you call a running turkey? Fast food!  This year NJHS is sponsoring the Turkey Round Up.
