Mr. Head's 2nd grade class had fun with their activity books for Ag Week.
Around 36,000 students state-wide and from southwest Iowa participated in the 2026 Spelling Bee. 66 participants qualified for the regional Bee in Omaha last Saturday. Our Longhorn, Taryn Rohaley, narrowly missed the top 9 seats for the oral spelling rounds to secure a chance at Scripps National Spelling Bee. She placed in the top 35 and better.
Thank you for representing KPS with your spelling abilities! That is certainly something to be proud about!
Mrs. Mekelburg's 2nd grade class enjoyed their activity books for Ag week.
Wow! Mary Lynch's family and friends have surpassed all Book Blast expectations. Because of your generosity, 1,303 books will be going home with students in the next few weeks, and 7 teachers earned $100 shopping sprees for their classrooms.

Today, Kindergarten got a very special visitor - a sweet bucket calf joined us right on the school lawn! 🐄 The highlight of the morning? Getting to watch (and help) feed the calf a bottle! Lots of smiles, giggles, and wide-eyed moments...especially because of the calf slobber! 😂 A big thank you to the Hottell family for the opportunity to make these connections with the impact of agricultural in our everyday lives! ❤️

On Monday morning, the Kindergarten classes were thrilled to welcome the JAG students from the High School. 😊Together, they created leprechaun traps!!! 🌈 Unfortunately, the leprechaun's little legs got tangled in our traps!! Much to our dismay, those sneaky fellows caused great mischief inside of the classrooms!!! 🫣They may have escaped, but they still had to leave behind their GOLD!! 💰Better luck next year!!!🍀
