Volunteers make the impossible possible.

In today's schools, there are simply far more jobs and responsibilities than there are people to do them. By helping with special events and routine tasks, volunteers allow teachers and staff to focus more on helping children learn and grow. The school can accomplish more, and offer children and families more services, with the help of volunteers.

Kelly welcomes and appreciates volunteers. Many volunteers work 1-3 hours per week; others help intermittently. If you are new to Kelly or haven't filled on the volunteer background form in the past two years, click here to do your background check. All volunteers in the building must complete the background check and sign in/out on the computer in the front office.

Volunteers are needed for the Book Fair:

9/19 - 9:00-10:30 a.m. - Set up

We are excited to announce that the Kelly Middle School garden will begin to undergo a transformation this fall. On September 27, the US Green Building Council will bring out a group of volunteers to put together new raised beds, haul soil and compost, and do some planting in the garden! We want to invite you to join us from 9am-Noon on September 27 to get the garden growing at Kelly! Together we can make a beautiful learning landscape to be enjoyed by students, families and community members alike. For more information on how to get involved please email Elizabeth Goward at Elizabeth@schoolgardenproject.org 

Next month we will have our first Site Council meeting. This committee is made up of parents, teachers, and administrators and is responsible for creating and monitoring our School Improvement Plan as well as monitoring any grants we have received. If you are interested in participating in this important council, we have applications in the front office and we welcome you to apply.

If you are dropping off or picking your student up, please
use the drive through area in our parking lot off North Park to the west of the school or the parking lot between Howard and Kelly to the east of the school. During pick up and drop off time, the parking lot directly in front of the school needs to be reserved for school buses only. Thanks for your help.

The purpose of the event is to help connect community families and educators to science outreach programs on campus and in the community. All activities are completely free and open to the public. There will be something fun for children of all ages.

Hands-on activities and demonstrations will include the Flubber Factory, the Egg Drop, Lazer Maze, Fruit DNA Extraction, and much more. Attendees can also sign up for the Science Pentathlon where they will complete five activities in the core science disciplines (biology, chemistry and physics).
