Hi all, 

Sending a friendly reminder about optional year-end gift contributions and vidday message/photos. Pasting the key details here for easy reference. Thanks again in advance! 

• Any amount is truly appreciated — no contribution is too small.
• Participation is completely optional, and no one will be left out if they are unable to contribute.
• Most importantly, this is about the collective “thank you” from the class, not individual giving.

If you’d like to contribute, here are the options:

• Cash: Drop off with Kimmy or Julia before school OR return in the envelope sent home on 5/12/26.
• Check: Payable to Kimberly Salley and return in the envelope sent home on 5/12/26.
• Venmo: @KimmySalley (last 4 digits: 5968).

If you’d prefer to contribute non-monetary items for the basket, please reach out to us and we’ll coordinate.
Deadline for contributions: Friday, June 5, 2026.

A Meaningful (and Free!) Way to Participate

An easy, non‑monetary way to participate is to contribute to a class Vidday celebrating our teachers.

We would LOVE for families to upload:

• A short video of your student saying thank you AND/OR their favorite thing about this year etc.
• Photos or short clips from any point this year — first day of school, classroom moments, spirit days, or simple snapshots at home.

Nothing fancy is required — heartfelt and simple is perfect

Upload your photo(s)/video(s) directly via this link: https://share.vidday.com/e/t-gg9vru 

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to all who were able to participate in the class gift for Ms. Rice and Mrs. Frechette. Attached is a picture of what we have compiled, based on their "favorite things" list. Ms. Rice is receiving a Cuisinart Juicer (courtesy of a parent who works for the company!), paper and water color markers (she likes to paint in her free time); as well as gift cards to some of her fave places: HomeGoods, REI, and Chik-fil-A.... as well as some of her favorite snacks (popcorn and pretzels). 

Mrs. Frechette received honey and tea (her favorite beverage), as well as gift cards to her fave places: Marshall's and REI. 

We will present these items to the teachers tomorrow morning (12/17) at drop-off. If any of your kiddos would like to hand in a holiday card, or add it to the packaging, by all means. 

Stanley and I will try to be across the street by 8:08 tomorrow. 

Thanks again for making their holidays bright!

-Kimmy and Julia

Hello Everyone,

We, Kimmy Salley (Stanley’s mom) and Julia Travaglini (Gemma’s mom), are your Room Parents for the year.

We wanted to keep you informed of a few things as we start the school year.

1. Register for Membership Toolkit: This is the only system room parents can use to communicate with the class, so please sign up! Also, this is essential to receiving important information from the PTO and automatically provides everyone with a class directory. If you are aware of families that are missing information, let them know about Membership Toolkit. Please see attached flyer for instructions on how to sign up.
2. Attend a PTO Meeting: Learn about upcoming events and how you can support Killam. The next meeting is 10/21 at 7pm in the Killam library. 

For any questions, please let us know.

Thanks and hope you all have a wonderful year,

Kimmy and Julia
