Kearsley families,

As we conclude the school year, I would like to thank each of you for your partnership in your child’s education and congratulate each one of our Kearsley students for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. Our students’ accomplishments, both in the classroom and beyond, fill us with pride and optimism for our future. Here’s a summary of many of the district’s “Points of Pride” from the 2024-2025 school year.

We have a busy summer ahead with many projects taking place and opportunities for learning for our students. Some of the largest building projects going on across the district are:

Buffey/Pumpkin Patch
- Fire alarm replacement
- Secure entrance addition
- Renovation of GSRP classrooms
Weston Elementary
- Roof replacement
- Gymnasium painting
Dowdall Elementary
- Classroom renovations
- Completion of new addition, including a new multipurpose space, secure entry and additional offices
- Fire alarm replacement
- New teacher desks
Fiedler Elementary
- Gymnasium ceiling painting
Armstrong Middle School
- Beginning of renovations of media center and surrounding spaces, with completion expected in October 2025
- Corridor flooring replacement
- AMS fire alarm replacement
- UofM Regional Alliance for Healthy Schools clinic addition at AMS
Kearsley High School
- Resurfacing of KHS tennis courts
- Creation of industrial technology lab
Burgtorf
- Renovation of robotics space

We are offering several learning opportunities to keep kids engaged over the summer months. Please check out our “Summer Learning” page with several resources. I want to bring your attention to the “Read to a Million” challenge, which we will be participating in again this summer. As a district we finished #2 in the county last summer and are looking to improve on that finish this summer! Please encourage your child to continue to read and log those pages throughout the summer for chances to win some great prizes and a pizza party for their class when we return in the fall.

As we look towards next school year and beyond, I am hopeful and excited. Our entire community should be proud of the many additions and upgrades to facilities, curriculum and technology in support of Kearsley students, staff and families.

I encourage everyone to take time to rest, rejuvenate and spend time with family over the next few months. Have a safe and relaxing summer. Go Hornets!

Sincerely,

Paul Gaudard
