The annual Student Government Food Drive at KES was a spectacular success again this year! As a school, we collected a total of 2,925 pounds of food (or 3, 464 items) as well as $427 in cash donations. During the month of March, the State of Minnesota does a partial match to all food shelf donations making our efforts grow even greater. Thank you to student government and the 5th grade teachers for all of the hard work in making this event such a success. And a special thanks to Jennifer Schiefelbein at the food shelf for coordinating all of our donations as well as providing a tour of the facilities to our student government members. #fooddrive #donate #community #KimballProud

A huge thank you to Amy and Josh Meyer along with Bank Vista for this year's sponsorship of our Junior Achievement program at KES. Amy does a GREAT job volunteering her time and resources to teach students about money management, how to write out checks and general business practices such as what kinds of goods and services populate a city and how businesses need to balance their prices with supply and demand. At the end of each program, Bank Vista supplies a gold coin for each student.
