News and events from Field Kindley

Field Kindley High School

Spring 2008

Thanks to the teachers, students, parents, and community of Coffeyville for helping us to a wonderful year of education at Field Kindley High School. Continued partnerships with the citizens and businesses will only help to strengthen the educational opportunities for our kids in the future.

Graduation

May 15^th is the date for graduation of this year’s senior class. Starting at 7:00 in the FKHS gymnasium, graduation will honor those students who have earned the credits necessary to receive a diploma. New loud speakers have been installed in the gym, which should make for a ceremony that everybody can hear and enjoy. Please assist me in making this a memorable and honorable night for our students by refraining from talking during the speeches. Please see the other side of this letter for a list of events that seniors need to pay special attention to.

For information regarding caps and gowns, please call Patti Wenger at the high school

Congratulations retirees!

Mrs. Linda Handshumaker and Mrs. Marilyn O'Shields are retiring at the end of this school year. Mrs. Handshumaker has been teaching for the kids of USD 445 for 33 years. What an amazing job she has done for the nearly 4,000 students who have come to her classrooms.

Mrs. O'Shields has been teaching instrumental music at FKHS for 16 years. Those who have heard her concerts, marching bands, and stage bands know what a terrific program she has been able to put together year after year. Having traveled across the SEK for the last two years, I can tell you that there is no finer stage or pep band in the entire league.

Thanks to both of you for all that you have done for our kids.

Summer School

Summer school is being offered at Field Kindley High School during the month of June. Students needing the opportunity to re-earn credits in math or English need to see Mrs. George in the counselor’s office to signup. There will be no charge for summer school.

Athletic Physicals

Mr. Sills, FKHS athletic director, has arranged physicals on the afternoons of May 12 and 13^th. Drs. Kill and Merseberg will be providing physicals for $20 each. Athletes need to be ready for their physicals at 3:00 on those days, and will be seen in the order that they arrive. For extra information, please contact the athletic office at FKHS.

I hope everybody has a tremendous and safe summer. Everybody at the high school would like to wish our graduates well and we look forward to the return of our underclassmen. Working together, we can have best school year ever in 2008-2009.
