WELCOME TO KOLMAR AVE. SCHOOL!

Our Kolmar Ave. School community is a team of staff members, parents, administrators, and community resources who work together to create an effective and positive learning environment for all children. We reach high and expect much as we challenge students to succeed and teachers to grow. If you visit Kolmar Ave. School (and we hope you will), you will be visiting a school of quality and excellence.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE PRINCIPAL - WEDNESDAY LETTER

WHEN YOU HELP SUPPORT THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, YOU MAY WIN SOME GREAT PRIZES AT THE SAME TIME! Each school in the district is creating a basket of goodies that is being raffled off. From May 17 until June 3, you may purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win Kolmar's basket: 1 ticket for $1; 6 tickets for $5; 15 tickets for $10 - the more you buy the greater the bargain and the greater the chance you have of winning!
