A SWEET morning at Kirby School District! We have been provided Donuts and Coffee for breakfast this morning by The Chambers Bank! You guys are so thoughtful and we greatly appreciate your generosity!
Chambers Bank visited with 4th grade about banking basics last week. They showed them how with just a few cents a day, you can save $100 in a year! Thank you Kortni and Eric!

Kirby Elementary got to end the week with a taco bar from El Diamante's and a wonderful tray of cookies from the ladies bible class at the Glenwood Church of Christ. THANK YOU to everyone that made today's lunch possible and thank you ladies for the delicious cookies! 🤗 We at Kirby Elementary have felt appreciated this week and are so grateful to everyone!
I can’t believe the end of the school year is here! Thank you parents and guardians for letting me take care of your children and grandchildren for the past 7 years! I am going to miss them but I am leaving them in great hands with our new K-12 School Nurse, Leigh Alexander-Starwalt. Leigh will take over at the beginning of the 23-24 school year. She has been a nurse for over 25 years and I have no doubt she will love and take care of all the students and staff here at Kirby School.
If your child has daily medications they take here at school and/or epipens/ inhalers kept in the nurse's office, they will need to be picked up by an adult and signed out before May 24th. They can be picked up on K & 6 graduation day May 15th or awards assembly day for 1-5 on May 22nd.
Any medication or epipen/inhaler that is left after May 25th will be properly disposed of. No student will be allowed to take their medication or epipen/inhaler with them at the end of their last day on campus.
Thanks again!
Nurse Alissa Kelley
