Keshequa Elementary School

As we round out Homecoming Week, there are a few important events and dates to keep in mind.
On Thursday, October 9, we will be holding our Open House from 5:00–6:30 PM. There is no school for students on Friday, October 10, due to a Superintendent's Conference Day, but that evening we will be hosting our Wear Pink Soccer Game at 7:00 PM at Kiwanis Park. Saturday brings our Middle and High School Homecoming Dances (see times below), and Monday, October 13, there is no school for Columbus Day.

💗⚽️ In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re asking everyone to wear pink to our upcoming Girls Soccer Game on Friday, October 10!

Our Lady Wildcats will be sporting pink jerseys as they take the field to show their support and raise awareness. The game kicks off at 7 PM at Kiwanis Park—let’s fill the stands with pink and cheer them on!

🌟 We want to give a big congratulations to our Elementary Students of the Month for September! These students were recognized for showing the PRIDE trait of respect throughout the month.

We’re so proud of their positive attitudes, kind actions, and the example they set for others every day!
