Teachers -- please post that checks can be payable to MKS. 

Thank you!!!!

Dear 5th Grade Parents,

Keppel Rocks is just around the corner.  We are given the opportunity to raise funds for 5th grade activities.  5th grade is in charge of concessions with this year's event.  We will receive 20% of all earnings from Keppel Rocks.  Please consider helping us on Friday, November 3rd.  We have time slots for set up, sales and clean up.  We appreciate anything that you can offer.  Every opportunity to raise funds will help decrease our costs for this year's fun activities.  Your support is greatly needed. We hope to see you all there!
