Principal's Connect Ed Messages

October 6, 2024

Good evening Kernodle Middle School families, this is your proud principal Mrs.  Shephard calling with your weekly announcements:

Hello Students and Parents,

A Message from our Librarian Mrs. Crane

The Scholastic Book Fair will be at Kernodle from October the 21 the 31st. Check out the link below for directions on how to add money to your child's ewallet, so he or she can shop easily at the fair. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to explore a variety of books, expand their reading interests, and discover new genres. Whether you are looking for adventure, mystery, or non-fiction, there will be something for everyone!

Proceeds from the book fair will go towards purchasing new books and resources for our students.

Happy reading! We can't wait to see you at the book fair!

Parents, if you are interested in volunteering to help at the fair, you need to be an approved volunteer. You can sign up at the link below.
