Is it cold enough for you?
Are you oh so SUPER excited about the suggestion of snow?
The kids are daydreaming about running home this afternoon
and sledding down the Escarpment hills on trash can lids!
Ahhhh youth. . . .

As for school closing early, there is no plan for that at this time.
Please stay tuned to the news or the AISD website if the weather
changes unexpectedly.  At this time, we're not anticipating an
early release.

Bundle up, bring in your plants, and enjoy the seasonal chill.

Autumn has finally found it's way to Austin.

Here are a few highlights you won't want to overlook this week:
  • The coat drive for Allison Elementary continues through December 4
  • Math Pentathlon is about to begin and is in need of a few faithful volunteers        
        (and no, you don't have to be a math whiz to be a part of this great program)
  • Camp Read is still looking for people who love to read and be read to
  • Kiker has a new policy regarding dogs on campus

Finally, a loud Kiker CONGRATULATIONS goes out to our Kindergarten
teacher, Michelle Edwards, who is getting married this evening.   We wish
Ms. Edwards and her new husband a long and happy life together.

Atttached is information regarding Red Ribbon Week which
begins on November 16, and a wrap-up from the Book Fair
which the library recently hosted.

You are such an amazingly generous and caring community.

Thank you for caring about and supporting all the youngsters
who cross your path.

Enjoy this fabulous fall.

The Fall Centers were a big hit today.   Many of you learned about the
importance of leaving early --on busy days like today,  finding a parking
spot and checking in at the office can be time consuming.

Next week we hope you have plans to visit the Book Fair.  Most of the
students have had a sneak preview and I hear they're excited about
what they've seen.

Attached this week, in addition to the Comments, is a "glog" about
an upcoming pancake breakfast at Applebee's on November 14.
Take a peek, as it may feature someone you know.

Did you wake up this morning and find yourself singing
"Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get me Down"?
Thankfully, there's always so much happening here at
Kiker, there isn't time to be glum.   Fifth Grade is heading
out to Camp Allen later in the week, the library will begin
preparations for the book fair which begins next week,
and the students who participated in the Reflections Program
will spend Thursday evening celebrating their talents.

Finally a heartfelt Kiker Cheer goes out to our Teaching
Assistant, Stephanie McGovern (Ms. Amy's daughter),
who was married over the weekend.   We wish her and
Chris a long and happy life together.

Just a few quick notes, because it's much too pretty to be
sitting inside. . .

-  No school on Monday
-  Principal's Coffee Talk on Tuesday morning at 8:00am
-  Finally, take a moment next time you're in the building to appreciate
        the display of Reflections entries.  Carrie Keith, Amy Young
        and friends spent the better part of the day hanging the
        entries on the walls surrounding the stage in the cafeteria.
        We have some very talented children here at Kiker this year!

Enough already!  Go outside and play!  What a perfectly beautiful fall day!

See you all on Tuesday.

(NOTE:  if you are unable to open thi file, send me a reply and I will resend
the document to you directly.)

You know, Schlotzsky's is delicious every night of the week.  However,
Kiker will receive a portion of the proceeds for each order placed by a
Kiker family on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Wow!  There is always so much going on around here!
Tonight is Kiker Night at Schlotzsky's, tomorrow is
International Walk to School Day, Friday is the PTA
Staff Appreciation Luncheon, and there's a bunch of
our young learners headed out on field trips as well.

The health clinic has been a busy place this week.
PLEASE, do not send your child to school if he or she
is not feeling up to par.  Also, you cannot reiterate
enough the importance of washing hands and covering
coughs.

Here's to good health!

Please remember that students/staff who are ill with flu like symptoms should not need a doctor’s note to return to school. The recommendation from medical providers for individuals with the flu (who do not have any chronic medical conditions or are not in a high risk group) is to not go to the doctor to confirm or treat the flu.

Can you believe the start of the school year is just a few days away?!
We have been so busy this summer getting the building ready for
the first day.  We've added 5 kindergarten classes and hired a number
of new staff members.  

The fun begins on Thursday at 5pm, when class lists  will be posted
on the front doors.  

Take a moment to carefully look over this first edition of the Kiker
Comments.  If you have a new friend or neighbor who isn't yet
a part of the Yahoo group, please forward this email on to them.

Play hard.

See you on Monday!

Hello Kiker Parents-
Thanks to all the volunteers that donated there time for the school supply fundraiser. We really appreciated all your help and for taking time out of your summer schedule to help this event to run smoothly. I apologize for not sending out a reminder for the event, apparently we have a number of people who did not pick up their school supplies. For this reason, there will have a second chance to pick up your supplies on Thursday, August 20th from 4:30-6:30pm. We will be set up somewhere near the teachers work room, depending on what space is available to do this. We will also have t-shirts and water bottles for sale.
 
Sincerely,
Shannon Ruth, VP Fundraising

June 27, 2009

 

Dear Kiker Community,

 

With great sadness, I am writing to inform you of the loss of one of our much loved, talented and intelligent community members: Mr. Larry Weiner.  Mr. Weiner passed away early yesterday morning following a long illness. Mr. Weiner is the father of two of our Kiker students, Aria and Leah Sherman-Weiner and husband to dear Laura Sherman.

 

In a posting to Larry’s website yesterday, Laura wrote, “Larry passed away in hospice this morning around 6:30, shortly after I woke up. It was a peaceful passing, just a gentle cessation of his breathing. I am so sad, but also happy to imagine him whole, healed and free from Alzheimer's. The girls are doing great; they took the news in much the same spirit. I feel so grateful to have shared such wonderful years with the amazing man that he was.”

 

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 7, 2:00 pm at Oak Hill United Methodist Church in Austin. Laura told me she is “looking forward to introducing her wonderful husband” at the memorial. Please see tomorrow’s obituary for more information regarding the service and directions on where to send memorials and/or donations. 

 

As one large family, it is times like this that we want to all hold hands and encircle this family so that they can fall into us and we may be their strength, just as they have done the same to envelop others with love, hope, faith and peace.  We all appreciate the invaluable, intimate gift that the family is giving us by letting us into their life at this time; with respect to their privacy the family prefers that contact and condolences be limited to cards, letters and emails to lsarchitect@... rather than phone calls at this time. I know Laura and the girls will appreciate these touches of love and care.

 

True to the close knit nature and loving family spirit in our community, I know many of you would like to provide services and support for the family in the way of food and shopping for toiletries and paper goods, etc.  Please stay tuned for more information as to when the family will be ready to receive these offerings of love and support; I know they would like us to wait a while before we start these loving gestures. 

 

I wish you all peace, love, and strength as we mourn, support and hold tight to our most precious commodity; our friends and family.

 

Ms. Schneider
