| A Message from the Principal

| Dear Kibler Families,
Good news! We look forward to seeing you at Open House tonight from 6:00–7:00 pm! Thank you for coming and for being such a big part of our school community.
A quick fundraiser update: our goal was 50% participation, and we’re close to 40%. If you haven’t registered yet, please consider it, as every bit helps our school. And yes, if we hit our $50,000 goal, I’ll celebrate with a colored mohawk! We’ve extended the fundraiser a few more days to give us the best chance. Two quick reminders:
Safety: Please drive slowly, use blinkers, stop at stop signs, follow patrol staff directions, and make sure your child exits on the sidewalk side of the car. Toys: Please remind students not to bring toys from home (ducks, figures, bracelets, stuffed animals, etc.). These often get lost, broken, or taken. The fundraiser HYPE CREW figures are okay for a few more days to promote the fundraiser.
Thank you for your support, we can’t wait to see you tonight! Go Bears, Go Hawks and Go M's! (Is Cal incredible or what?) Travis |
Meet Our Assistant Principal

Dear Kibler Families,
I’m excited to introduce myself as the Assistant Principal at Kibler Elementary. This is my 5th year at Kibler and my 14th year in the Enumclaw School District. Before moving into administration, I taught elementary school for many years, which gave me a deep appreciation for the important work that happens in classrooms every day.
As Assistant Principal, my role is to support students, staff, and families. Much of my work centers on helping students succeed academically and socially, supporting teachers with instruction, and making sure our school is a safe and welcoming place for every child. I also partner with families when challenges arise and celebrate with you as our students grow and thrive.
Kibler is a very special place, and I’m grateful to be part of this community. I look forward to working together this year to ensure every child has a positive and successful school experience. Warmly,
Shannon Cunningham
Assistant Principal |
