- Field Day Volunteers Needed -
Kernsville Elementary Field Day 2025 will be held on Tuesday, May 27th with an all-new format, “Olympic Day”. This will be a one-day event with all grade levels participating. Our 3rd, 4th & 5th Grade events will in the morning and the kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grade events will be in the afternoon.
Due to the number of students participating, this day will be a closed, student only, event and only parents/guardians who have volunteered to help with a morning or afternoon session will be invited to attend.
To make this a successful day, we are requesting volunteers to assist with an AM or PM session or both! Volunteers will run games and activities during the day for students. If you are interested in volunteering, you must have your clearances on file with the Parkland School District and be over the age of 18.
Please complete the form below if you are able to volunteer. Please do not list more than one name. Each volunteer must submit a separate form.
Note: If you are unsure if your name is on the P.S.D. Approved Volunteer List, please call the School Office BEFORE submitting this form.
Please visit the PSD Volunteer page for complete instructions for obtaining and submitting your clearances.
Instructions and additional information will be emailed prior to May 27th. Our rain date will be Wednesday, May 28th.

Attention 5th Grade Families! Every year the 5th graders get the opportunity to have a slideshow presented during the end of the year Awards Ceremony. We’re requesting the following:
-
** 5th grade candid shots (your child’s 5th grade school picture will be provided by the school)
** Kindergarten school picture (only students who were not at Kernsville for Kindergarten)
Please visit KernsvillePTO.org to upload your child’s pictures into the appropriate teacher’s Dropbox.
Please use your child’s name in the file name when uploading photos. -
Planning Ahead - The PTO is proud to host functions like the Holiday Jubilee, a great event that brings
joy to our children and community through pictures with Santa, a Secret Santa Shop, crafts, food, and
fun. However, this tradition, like all PTO activities, is entirely planned and run by volunteers—and our
volunteer base currently consists of just a handful of dedicated parents and caregivers. Without
additional adult support, we simply cannot continue to make events like the Holiday Jubilee happen.
As we look ahead to the next school year, we need to share an important update: the Holiday Jubilee
will not take place next year unless we have at least one volunteer step forward to serve as the event
chairperson by August 1.
The event chairperson role involves coordinating volunteers and planning the activities—while bringing
your own creativity and personal touch to the event. It is not a job you are expected to do alone. We’re
here to support you with the resources, guidance, and help you need, but this would be your
opportunity to shape the Jubilee (or any type of holiday celebration) in your way!
We know how much this event means to our families, and we hope to keep the tradition alive. However,
without someone leading the charge, it won’t be possible to hold the Jubilee next year. If you’re
interested in stepping into this role or learning more about what’s involved, please reach out to us
at president@kernsvillepto.org. Thank you for being such a vital part of our school community. Your
support and involvement are what make these moments possible! -
