Today we celebrate the quiet heroes who keep curiosity alive—our librarians 📚✨
Thank you for being guides through endless shelves of knowledge, for helping us find exactly what we didn’t even know we were looking for, and for creating spaces where everyone is welcome to learn, explore, and grow.
In a world full of noise, you help us discover meaning. In a world full of questions, you help us find answers.
Happy Librarian Appreciation Day to the keepers of stories, champions of literacy, and protectors of knowledge 💛

Kingston will again be serving as a polling location for our community for tomorrow's election, April 7, 2026.
The location on campus for voting, however, will be different than it has been for past elections. Voting will be held in the foyer of our high school gymnasium instead of the bus garage. There will be signage directing community members to the entrance for the polls.
Community members coming to vote will not have access to any other parts of the school campus other than the foyer area and students will not have access to the polling area.
Kingston Junior High was excited to welcome Mr. Hunter Ives from Belgrade State Bank this week! He visited Mrs. Thomas’s 7th grade Family and Consumer Sciences classes and shared helpful information about careers in banking, education requirements, and real-world financial skills.
Students got hands-on experience learning how to write checks, complete deposit slips, and fill out withdrawal forms. Mr. Hunter also kept things fun with a creative (but impossible!) bank vault scenario that had everyone laughing!
It was a great learning experience for all students. Thank you, Mr. Hunter, for your time and support!
Fun Fact: Mr. Hunter was a student in Mrs. Thomas's class 17 years ago when she taught 4th grade at Valley R-6!
Check out some photos from his visit!

The Kingston Community Teachers' Association has cancelled this evenings "Meet the Board Candidates" forum due to several candidates being unable to attend due to illness and family obligations. KCTA will be working with the candidates to put together a Q&A document for board candidates to answer that will be shared with the public prior to the election in April.
Our JH Student Council sponsored a Kiss the Goat contest in which students earned points for every food item they brought in to be donated to the Elks Backpack Food Drive.
Our students brought in a total of 878 items. Out of those 878 items, 870 were donated towards Dr. Krisher quickly launching him to the top spot for kissing a goat. Dr. Krisher kissed both "Goldie Hawn" and "Chicken Nugget the Fourth" during an assembly held for the entire student body.
We would also like to thank the following teachers for participating in this challenge:
Ms. Brown, Mr. Dane, Mr. Ross, Mr. Schupp, Mrs. Shore, Mrs. Logan-Hollis, Mrs. Amy, and Mrs. Thomas.
Great job Junior High!

Due to the tragic passing of longtime Kingston educator Mrs. Susan Heuer and her husband, Mr. Henry Heuer, the Kingston School District will be closed on Monday, March 16 so that our faculty, staff, and community members may attend the funeral Mass and pay their respects.
Mrs. Heuer dedicated more than 30 years of service to the students of our district before retiring, impacting generations through her work as a teacher and volunteer. Mr. Heuer was also a familiar and supportive presence in our schools and community through his volunteerism.
This loss has deeply affected our school community, including many staff members who worked alongside Mrs. Heuer and the Heuer family. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Heuer are the parents of Dr. Jennifer Boyster, Assistant Superintendent, and Mrs. Suzanne Merklin, Assistant Principal. Closing school on Monday will allow our staff and community the opportunity to honor their lives and support the family during this difficult time.
Classes will resume as scheduled on Tuesday, March 17. We ask that you please keep the Heuer, Boyster, and Merklin families in your thoughts and prayers, and we thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.
