K-Kids

Hello Playa families- our school’s internationally recognized community service club, “K-KIDS,” has officially kicked off their annual project for the year, “ONE MEAL, ONE FAMILY.” By helping them collect items for donation to the less fortunate, you support the K-Kids’ efforts in encouraging service and loyalty to their school and community. For the month of October, they are collecting Oatmeal. Your voluntary donations are greatly appreciated and can be left in the orange bins by the school auditorium. Would your child like to be a K-Kid? Allow them to attend the first meeting next Wednesday, October 10th, after school in the parent room. Meetings will be held monthly, every 2nd Wednesday. There is no cost to be a member; simply have your child pick up a permission slip at the first meeting and have it returned it to the Friends of Playa box in the office.

Yours in service,
Playa del Rey Elementary K-Kids
