Golden Tray Award Winners At Kimberly Lane we are focusing and recognizing students who are polite at lunch. The culinary express staff chooses one child per month in each grade level to win the Golden Tray Award. Here are the students whose politeness shined the brightest this last week. The winner of the Golden Tray Award actually wins the award for his/her class since the tray gets to be displayed in the winner's classroom the whole week. The Golden Tray Award is a traveling trophy and winners announced once each month! Congratulations to: Colin, Verona, Isabel, Benjamin, Finn, and Addison!

Coyote Book Club The 4th and 5th grade Coyote Book Club with Mr. Schiemann is coming after school on Tuesdays this winter from 2:30-3:30. We will choose and read a variety of this year's best novels for middle grade readers, have some great discussions, and have some fun with a project or two to share about our favorite books. The suggested cost/donation is $20, but please let Mr. Schiemann know if you need a scholarship (or want to cover the cost of a scholarship for another student). Unless your student is in Home Base, you will need to pick them up or make sure they have a ride to pick them up at 3:30 on the days we meet after school. Please email Mr. Schiemann by Friday November 15 if your student is interested. Space is limited to 20 students. Hope to see your reader there!
