Over the last seven weeks, the staff and students at South Lebanon Elementary have been challenged to be very mindful of what they are putting in the trash.

Each week, the classes sent their recycling to Mrs. Juli Elder's class to be weighed to see who the Recycling Champs of the Week would be. During the last week of school, they recycled 542 pounds of materials building-wide. Miss Pagan's class was the winner with 120.9 pounds of recycled material.

The total recycling for the last seven weeks was 1,351 pounds of material, about the same weight as the heart of a Blue Whale!

Congratulations to all of the staff and students at SLE for making a difference in our environment!

The Summer Slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn't in session. Numerous studies show that kids who don't read during summer break actually slip in reading ability by the time autumn rolls around.

We have provided you with some Summer Reading Programs in our area to help your students. Thank you for supporting your student to prevent the Summer Slide! Thank you to Mrs.Bowman for providing this list!

Nearly 20 Kings students have been cast in the next Acting Up performance of The Lighting Thief - The Percy Jackson Musical.

About the show: As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology textbook's worth of monsters on his trail.

When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. 

The show is an adaptation of the best-selling book, The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan. Performances are May 31 - June 2 at Mason High School.

Get your tickets here.

The Food Service Department wants to thank students and their families for their support in our School Lunch Program. We want to remind all parents/guardians that any remaining funds on student meal accounts will transfer to the 2024-2025 school year. The balances will remain on the students accounts when they return in August.

If a student is graduating or transferring out of the Kings Local School District and your student has a remaining balance, please contact the Food Service Department at 513-398-8050 ext 10027 or you can email us directly at jarlinghaus@kingslocal.net and a refund will be issued to you.  If you currently have an account on PaySchools Central for your graduate and it is set up for auto deposits, it is advised that you access the PaySchools Central site and delete the "auto-deposit" feature from your graduate's meal account.

If you have a graduate that has a remaining balance and you have another child/student in the District the remaining funds from your graduate can be transferred to thier younger sibling. Please contact the Food Service Department to make this request and they would be happy to assist you.

Any student that currently has a balance due can forward payment by cash, check or payments are also accepted from our online portal, PaySchools Central.  Forms of payment of cash or check can be sent to the students' school or they can also be mailed directly to the Food and Nutrition Department at 1797 King Avenue, Kings Mills OH 45034. Checks can be made out to: Kings Local School District Food Service.

In an effort to be "green," the District does not send paper flyers home. We use a platform called Peachjar that houses flyers of community programs and resources. 

Parents receive approved flyers via email, and they are posted on our digital flyerboard for easy retrieval. Any organization can distribute information to our community by creating an account!

We are looking to bolster our Kings Alumni database. Are you a Kings High School graduate or know someone who is? Please share the form with your fellow graduates. This will help our reunion committees and keep you updated on what is happening at your alma mater!
