My first Frozen experience! Congratulations to all the hard working students and staff at KCS for their continued dedication to the Arts. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.

Today Kaleidoscope welcomed Stephanie Olsen, Karina Forrest-Perkins, and Katie Perzel from Volunteers of America. Thank you for a great visit and continued partnership.

Huge shoutout to the @tweetkcs KPTO and parents for the table of grab and go snacks for our staff to enjoy on Conference Day. Thank you!

Candidates for the 2026 Minnesota Teacher of the Year have been announced, and Kaleidoscope has two educators who were nominated. Mr. Young and Mr. Verke are among the 128 candidates for the award statewide. Congratulations!

KCS celebrates the incredible work of all our staff members!  This week is American Education Week - - November 17-22, 2025. Please help us thank all the staff at KCS for making our school a great place for students and families!

The Wright County Sheriff’s Office spoke to our @TweetKCS first grade students this morning as part of their Community Helpers unit. The kids really enjoyed the lights and sirens.

Our friends at the Elk River Fire Department are on campus to meet with our @TweetKCS first grade students. My current view might make it tough to get things done this morning.

@TweetKCS Well deserved! Congratulations!

Congratulations to Nikki Miller and Shar Mullen on being the KCS recipients of the Leadership in Educational Excellence Award. This recognition, sponsored by Resource Training and Solutions, recognizes Nikki and Shar’s dedication to education. Congratulations! #LEEA2025

I’m jealous of my son’s golf glove tan line.

How do I celebrate the start of Summer Break? By going to bed at 9:30.

Got hooked on #Survivor48 but can’t stay up to see who wins…not on a school night. Also, this is how you know you are getting old.

Another fantastic Wolf Ridge trip is complete! I can’t wait to hear all about it when the bus returns!

A busy day at @WolfRidgeELC. Students are doing great and have been learning (and hiking) a lot.

I wish these NBA games started earlier. It’s a school night.

The @TweetKCS 8th graders checking in from @WolfRidgeELC. Perfect first day!

The @TweetKCS 8th graders gathered their luggage for the 3 day trip to @WolfRidgeELC. They are excited!

The @TweetKCS band started off with a song from Indiana Jones. Such a great song.

The @tweetkcs Spring Choir Concert has started. They have been working so hard!

KCS celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you to all our wonderful teachers for the many hours they spend planning, correcting papers, teaching lessons, and ensuring that KCS students have the best educational experience possible! We appreciate you all!
