Kimball Area Play & Learn Preschool had a successful Moving Up ceremony on May 22 to honor their preschool students. Thank you to our friends and family members who packed the gym. Best wishes to our students moving on to kindergarten next fall. Have a great summer.
A water sendoff marks the end of the school year with one of the student's favorite traditions at KES! Staff love this event as well and make sure to come equipped with plenty of buckets and water jets. Mr. Timmerman was even soaked with a bucket over the head as buses pulled out of the lot. Tomorrow is the official last day of school for the year and we wish all of the students a wonderful summer.
The whole school turned out today to watch the 5th grade students take on the staff in a spectacular game of kickball. We even had an "old", favorite staff member show up to pitch for both sides. It was a competitive match up, but in the end the students defeated the staff 16-10 and even the spectators had a great time!
Congrats to the Kimball 12U Gold and 12U Blue baseball teams that participated in the Sartell Classic on May 18. The weekend was highlighted by Gavin Pelzer's first career grand slam over the fence. Way to go Cubs! #KimballBaseball #KimballCommunityEd
