Career
DayThis
annual event held in the spring is a gathering of representatives
from the community to speak about and demonstrate various careers
for the benefit of the students. A special day schedule is
constructed and followed by the students. The event is coordinated
by our guidance counselor.
ChorusGrades
four and five students are eligible to participate in the school
chorus program run by the music teacher. The chorus performs at the
holiday season in December and the spring, as well as at other
school events and occasions.
Field
DaysEach
June there is a special competitive event held at Park Terrace field
and arranged by the physical education department. This field day
allows students of grade five district-wide to compete in a wide
range of athletic events. There are ribbons and awards given at the
end of the event. These are usually presented at promotion.
Field
TripsOur
school is allocated $2 per child for our field trips. We need to
plan these inside the means this money affords. PTA may sponsor
addition field trips. Field trips need to be of a purely educational
purpose.
Fifth
Grade TripTraditionally,
there has been a special trip for fifth graders sometime in June. PTA, the principal, the students and the teachers cooperate
in the planning for the trip. Parents are encouraged to attend this
farewell trip. It is not an overnight excursion. Details of past
trips are available in the school office.

May district students have the opportunity to visit the Fulton
County art show where some of the finest examples of local artists'
works are displayed alongside a gallery of student work representing
every school in the district.
HalloweenEach
year the Kingsborough School students and staff participate in a
Halloween Parade. Kindergarten leads the parade and each level is
picked up in turn as we pass through the building. Additional
information is available in early October.
Holiday
ProgramEach
year during the holiday season in December, the Kingsborough School
chorus performs in a holiday concert presented to both the school
and parents, relatives, friends, etc. The date of the holiday
concert will be announced early in the school year.
Spelling
BeeEach
year the school district participates in a spelling bee sponsored
for the region by a local newspaper or company. In March, finalists
