November is a Time to be Thankful
Brad Sellner- Executive Director
Thanksgiving is a time of year where we pause to reflect on things in our lives for which we are thankful. At KCS we have much to be thankful for.
We are thankful for our wonderful teachers and staff members who work every day to meet the needs of our students and families. Their dedication was celebrated during American Education Week on November 17-21! From those who keep our school safe, to those who teach all the different subjects, to those who clean our school, to those who work with and support our students with special needs, we are thankful for them all.

Congratulations to our first-semester honor roll students. We are truly proud of your efforts! Certificates will be handed out next week.

✨ All aboard! ✨
Just two weeks from now, the Polar Express will make its much-anticipated return to Kaleidoscope—this time not only for a day of magical performances from our talented 5th–12th graders for our elementary students, but also for our special Evening on the Polar Express family event!
🔔On Thursday, December 18th, from 5 - 7:30 pm
Step into our festive marketplace and explore the town before catching your train. Don’t be late—your ride will depart promptly at the time printed on your ticket, and we wouldn’t want to leave Santa waiting!
Along your journey, you’ll enjoy several enchanting stops before arriving at your final destination: an immersive performance of The Polar Express, produced and directed by our wonderfully talented Ms. Miller.
We can’t wait to welcome you aboard for a truly magical evening! 🚂❄️

Our Winter Band & Choir Concert is almost here, and our students have been working hard to bring their talents to the stage.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🎼

As we wrap up our Give to the Max MN campaign, a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to support Kaleidoscope Charter School!

Your generosity has helped open doors to learning beyond the classroom—field trips, hands-on experiences, service projects, and so much more. Together we raised $2,225, surpassing our goal by over $1,000!🌍✨

Because of you, even more students will get the chance to explore, discover, and grow in ways that inspire curiosity and confidence. We’re truly grateful for this community and everything you make possible. 🙌

If you haven’t had a chance to give and would like to help us finish strong, there’s still time: https://www.givemn.org/story/x5q02f
