Together, we will work to organize fundraisers and FUNraisers to raise funds for the class of 2029's After Graduation Party (AGP) and unite the parents in our grade. If you don't know, AGP is a KHS tradition. It is a safe, sober event held at school following graduation with entertainment, food, games, tens of thousands of dollars of prizes and one last night of togetherness! As parents, we will fundraise to support this massive eventโ€”see below for this year's event; next year we will do plant sales and finals kits and junior year we will host trivia night.

It finally feels *a little* like fall - AKA soup season! On Tuesday, November 4, KHS PPO will host our annual Staff Appreciation Soup Luncheon. As you might imagine, it takes a lot of soup to feed 256 staff members, so we need your help! We are looking for soups, vegetarian soups and chilis. All soups should be dropped off at school ready to serve in a lined crockpot. We also need brownies and sodas/sparkling waters. Specific instructions for drop off are included on the signup.

We appreciate your help making our incredible staff feel appreciated and loved!

Sincerely,
Marie Romano, Michelle Gegg & Allyson Musca, KHS PPO Staff Appreciation Chairs

Pioneer Parents, we know youโ€™ve heard stories of Friendship dance ticket woes, but we are here to tell youโ€”it is going to be JUST FINE!

They will have two different start dates for ticket sales:โฃ
โฃ
Juniors/Seniors - 10/14 @ 10 amโฃ
Freshman/Sophomores - 10/15 @ 10 amโฃ
โฃ
All detention(s) must be served and holds/fines cleared before you are able to purchase a ticket!โฃ
โฃ
Dance tix are limited this year as Webster Groves High School is the host. 900 KHS tickets and only 100 guest tickets will be sold!

EDIT: Per front office: Students will purchase tickets via a link sent to them in their email. Guest passes should be picked up in the 10th grade office and turned in in the 10th grade office before they purchase their guest pass. Guest passes will also be purchased via the link though. ๏ฟผ

(Obviously our kids will look exactly like this.)
