Kingsley celebrates Penny Wars and Book Fair

Downers Grove SD58 News

Some Kingsley students may have thought it was Halloween when they entered school Wednesday. That's because Kingsley Principal Mark Stange greeted them dressed as a human chicken! Mr. Stange donned his chicken suit because Kingsley students collectively exceeded their goal of raising $1,000 during the Penny Wars, and instead raised an impressive $1,750.16! Kingsley especially congratulates Jennifer Kotor's kindergarten class, which won the Penny Wars. The funding will benefit the We Are Kingsley Project to help enhance the school's landscaping and playgrounds.

Meanwhile, the Kingsley PTA also concluded a very successful Book Fair that donated more than $2,500 worth of new books for the Kingsley LRC! Thanks, Kingsley community, for your support!
