SUBJECT: December 2022 Kincaid Cat Tracks

Happy Holidays! Wow, it's December and that means we are already halfway through the school year. It's heartwarming to think back over all we have accomplished just in the past month as a school community with your support. 

To recap...

  • Thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate 50th years of Kincaid excellence. It was wonderful to be able to see neighbors, Kincaid teachers, former students and staff members, as well as, our children connect and have a great time. 
  • Thank you for the donated canned goods during our food drive. We filled the trunk and MUST Ministries was so grateful for our contributions.  
  • Thank you also to the families that baked (and bought) goodies for Cookie Copia. The outpour of love was amazing and the treats were very much appreciated by the entire Kincaid staff.
  • Thank you for bringing a smile to a child in need this holiday season through our giving tree drive.  
  • And lastly, thank you to all those in attendance at the recent PTA general meeting. We were able to pass our amended budget and enjoyed the lovely voices of our third graders in a special performance immediately afterwards. 

Thank You Kincaid Families!

The Giving Tree Drive, November 28-December 9

Help bring a smile to a child's face this winter by participating in the annual Giving Tree Drive. Students can choose to pick a gift tag from the tree in the lobby for parents to use to purchase a toy for a child in need this holiday season. Return your new, unwrapped toy to the school with the original gift tag. All purchased items will be delivered to the MUST Ministries Marietta location. 

You can also donate a gift virtually by shopping MUST Ministries’ Amazon Wish List. Remember to choose 'Ship to Toy Shop'.
