October News 2016!
We cannot help but be
happy when October
finally arrives in Texas! We made it
through the heat of
summer and are
thrilled for the cooler
weather to come our
way! After all, what’s
better than putting on
a warm sweater and
snuggling up to a cozy
fire with your kiddos?
It’s time to make the
hot chocolate, decide
on the Halloween costumes and create the
Thanksgiving menu!
We absolutely love
this time of the year.
What better job to
have than one where
you can spend time
celebrating all these
holidays?
A huge “thank you” to
the PAL members at
each campus for attending the meeting
in September. PAL
(Parent Advisory
League) meets once
every quarter to discuss a variety of
school-related topics
and allows parents to
assist in planning
future events and offer ideas. If you would
like to take part in
the next PAL meeting, please let us
know!
Finally, a huge thank
you to everyone who
posted such raving
reviews about our
schools over the last
few months on social
media websites. Congratulations to the
Jackson family at Eagle Springs and the
Burns family at Kings
River who were
drawn to receive
three free months of
tuition! What a wonderful and welcome
gift for these families!
As always, thank you
for choosing Kids R
Kids to educate and
love your children!
We have planned to
have a DJ, bounce
house, face painting, a
fire truck, games, food
and more! The children love seeing each
other in a fun, outdoor
atmosphere while parents get to know each
other a little bit more.
In order for this carnival to be a huge success, we count on donations from our wonderful families. Please
donate an item for one
of the auction baskets,

Fall Carnival Update!
I am sure that you all
know by now that our

the children! After all,
this is something that
we are preparing for
them and we expect it
to be special.

Breast Cancer Awareness
Red Ribbon Week
Every October, our school supports “Breast Cancer Awareness”
during the month of October. Every Wednesday we will wear pink
to support this brave cause. Additionally, each class will display a
creative poster made by their children. We will have our walk
around the
school on
Wednesday,
October 12th
at 10:30 am.
In response to the murder of DEA Agent
Enrique Camarena, in 1985, angered parents and youth in communities across the
country began wearing Red Ribbons as a
symbol of their commitment to raise
awareness of the killing and destruction
cause by drugs in America. Today, the
Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and
encourage participation in drug prevention activities.National Family Partnership provides drug awareness by sponsoring the annual National Red Ribbon
Campaign™.
Eagle Springs Classroom of
the Month for October!
Kings River Classroom of the
Month for October!
When the Eagle Springs Directors
were asked which room to choose
for “Classroom of the Month” for
October they all agreed Suite
400! This is such a great room
with teachers that truly love and
care for their children. A huge
thank you to Ms. Christina and
Ms. Brooke for creating such an
appropriate learning environment
for all children in the classroom
and for always communicating
with parents in the most professional way. You ladies put the
“team” in teamwork!
It was a unanimous vote at Kings
River to award “Classroom of the
Month” to Suite 500! Ms. Lori and
Ms. Darryel do a fantastic job
teaching our children and getting
them ready for kindergarten.
We are very proud to be part of the
Texas School Ready program. And
Ms. Lori has absolutely excelled
teaching their curriculum and motivating the children to take the challenges of the activities proposed by
the TSR program.
Way to go, Suite 500, for winning
this prestigious award for October!

Promotion for
Ms. Tricia Barr!
We are very pleased to announce that Ms. Tricia Barr has been promoted from an Educational Consultant II position to the Director of
Educational Consultants and Training!
Ms. Tricia started with Kids R Kids when The Huffs opened their
first school in 2005. She has over 25 years of Early Childhood experience and education under her belt.
Throughout her career with Kids R Kids she has worked as a PreK
teacher, Curriculum Director, and Educational Consultant I & II. Tricia is also on the Texas Trainer Registry, which enables her to teach
the CDA class to our teachers who wish to receive additional education and a certification in the Early Childhood field, or to mentor Ms. Crystal James who has been teaching
CDA for our teachers here in Humble. KRK owners Paul and Tammy Huff have always
believed in our teachers receiving additional training and will pay 75% for those who decide to enroll in this course. Teachers graduate the course with a much better understanding and knowledge of child development.
Ms. Tricia is also in charge of the “Master Teacher” class that we will start offering to
our Staff Teachers and Master Teachers that wish to move further on the KRK career
ladder.
Ms. Tricia has been traveling to our Humble schools every month since January to offer
her years of experience and knowledge to our staff here. Congratulations, Ms. Tricia, on
a very well deserved promotion!
Pre-K
Pumpkin
Patch
Field Trip!
The annual Pre-K and Private Kindergarten field trip to the
Pumpkin Patch to the Good Sheppard Episcopal Church in
Kingwood has been scheduled! Our children will enjoy a walk
through their trail as they pick their very own pumpkin to take
home! This is something the children look forward to every
year and talk about for weeks after!
As a reminder, all children must have a current transportation
form and a field trip form signed by a parent or guardian. For
parents that wish to tag along, you are more than welcome, but
will have to take your own car.
This trip is scheduled for October 13th for Pre-K and October
20th for Private Kindergarten. This will be a great fall activity
and we hope that children and parents enjoy as they usually
do.
