Checking Off the "To Do" List

Some days it seems like you only have to blink and it's already a new month. Time seems to fly by, especially when there are so many things to get done. Check out what's happening in February at Kincaid then check these items off your "To Do" List throughout the month. 

Remember No School - February 20-24. It's Winter Break

As you read through this issue of Cat Tracks see what's coming up next, where help is needed and all the ways PTA and Foundation support our students, our school staff members and our diverse community.

**Special Thank You**

Thank you so very much to: (1) all the families and students that represented the different countries, their culture and traditions, (2) the festival attendees for their participation, (3) the school staff for use of the classrooms and the facility, and (4) all the volunteers for the support and hard work. This year's International Day event was a huge success and hands down one of the best! If you haven't already seen the photos, check them out on the school's Facebook page.
