Greetings and blessings from your and His Kingsview Christian School where every student is somebody, the staff is something special and Jesus Christ is Lord. We have just finished another very busy week at Kingsview. Mrs. Fromm's second graders visited Winchester Bay, the Pre-K enjoyed the gymnastics academy and the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth had a day at the beach complete with hot dogs, S'Mores, and an investigation of the tide pools.

       This week the PreK are off to the North Bend City Hall to meet the mayor, the police and fire departments and have a ride back to KCS in the fire truck. Thursday will be Hawaiian Day and corn dog Thursday so the halls will be filled with "Aloha" and the smell of Mrs. Langley's favorite lunch delight.

       There will be no school on Friday or next Monday as we celebrate Memorial Day. The seventh/eighth and third grades have reached the end of their Marathon Journey by reaching the Atlantic. The other classes still have time to finish their goal. Banana splits will soon abound. The journey was just short of 3,000 miles.

       Congratulations!! The entire school has run nearly 16,000 miles this school year. Impressive. Last week's winner of the "Giving Cup" (The real winner being the hungry of Coos County.) was the third grade. This week's food item is pancake syrup. May God bless your giving and support of all programs at
KCS.

       As you no doubt already know, this will be my last year at Kingsview Christian School. I take little or no joy in leaving the place where I have spent perhaps the best eight years of my life. I cannot begin to express my appreciation to all of those who have made my time here so rewarding. I will miss it all but most of all I will miss the immense love I have been fortunate to give and receive during my tenure here. I will even miss those of you who "got after me" a bit. I leave you in the very good hands of a capable staff that I have grown to love and our Almighty God. But most of all, I will miss your children and the sound of "Mr. Wefferwall" ringing in my heart. Yes, I will be gone but my heart will always be at Kingsview Christian School. Thank you to each and every one of you. May God continue to bless you all and all that is Kingsview.

       As always, we appreciate your children, your sacrifice, your support, your input and your prayers.

In His and your Service,
Rick Wetherell

Our computer lab still has 8 of its 22 computers that are too old to upgrade any longer and need to be replaced. If you have a used computer (any brand) that is capable of running Windows XP (or newer) and no longer want it, please contact Mr. Magill or drop it off at KCS. We can repair most any that don't work due to virus, failed hard drives, etc as long as all critical parts are present. We also need more flat-panel monitors, so if you have an extra one, please let us know. FREE: We have a few of the older CRT-type monitors to give away, still good with sharp images. REMEMBER: Kingsview is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donations are tax deductible, a tax receipt for the value of the donation is available upon request.

DID YOU KNOW?: That you can download a copy of the weekly newsletter and send it to friends and family members around the world? Just go to our "Downloads" section and click on the current week. We also save several past weeks of news as well. This is a great way to keep friends and family who may have moved away or grandparents that live far from here up to date on what is going on. In a hurry? Here's a shortcut for you to the May 20th Newsletter: JUST CLICK HERE

 SOMETHING NEW TO SAVE: The Tyson's A+ Project. Snip the "Project A+" symbols from Tyson Foods products - they give us 24 cents EACH for them! That is the highest return we know of for a company and will sure add up very QUICKLY! That's almost a dollar for every 4 you save! Mrs. Mahr (KCS Secretery) is the program coordinator for that program. Visit Tyson's Project A+ Website by CLICKING THIS LINK for complete program details. Remember, we still save coupons and McKays/Safeway receipts, too. PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAVE THEM DURING SUMMER VACATION, TOO!

Enrollment for the 2013-2014 school year begins March 1 for current KCS families.  Open enrollment for all others begins April 1.  Forms will be sent home next week. If you have any questions not addressed by the forms or paperwork, or just want to discuss enrollment, contact the office at 541-756-1411 during our normal business hours of 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM on school days. 

Families who are new to Kingsview need to make an appointment to meet with the Administrator prior to enrollment.

       Hello everyone - since we were getting thousands of fake "membership applications" from spammers every month, we've disabled the online member-application system. If you're a student, family member, friend or whatever of KCS, send an EMAIL to admin@Kingsview.Net and tell me your name, email address, age, and what city you live in. Then, tell me what you would like for a username and password. Passwords must be at least 8 characters long and are case-sensitive. I will then email you back confirming your account is set up.  If you are UNDER 13, we'll need you to bring a signed note from parents to school saying it's OK.

       REMEMBER: Even non-members can do just about everything on the site. Read everything, download all the stuff we put online, you just can't enter or reply to messages except to the Administrator (Me, using "Contact Us" on the menu). Thanks in advance for understanding. -- Mr. Magill, Computer/Technologies teacher and webmaster for Kingsview Christian School.
