· MORE SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION FROM THE SCHOOL COUNSELING DEPARTMENT: It is that time of the year when many different scholarships become available and often the School Counseling Department is asked for information and insight in regard to recommendations for students that may best match certain criteria. While we feel that we know you well, there is much that you do in your daily life, after school and in the community, that we may not know. Therefore, if you would like to be considered for possible scholarships that arise, we are asking you to provide us with a résumé or activity sheet. Please include your intended major (if you know it), or your current GPA, and all the things you have been involved in, along with any other pertinent information that you might deem important. We ask that you submit this information to the School Counseling Office by Friday, March 7, 2025, so that we can keep it on file for reference. Thank you and good luck!

· LOOKING FOR GENTLY USED PROM ATTIRE: Got a suit that’s a bit too tight or a dress that’s collecting dust in your closet? Kings Park’s Fashion Club is working with the Suffolk County Police Department to make prom night unforgettable for everyone! We are collecting gently used prom attire, including any dresses, tuxedos, shoes, ties, unused makeup, and cologne. You can drop off your donations in the main lobby at school. If that is not convenient, don’t worry! The Suffolk Police Academy will also be accepting donations on Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6. Make a difference this prom season – every donation counts!

· DOG TOY DRIVE: Please consider contributing to the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s Vet Dogs by donating to the Dog Toy Drive! This fundraiser is sponsored by our KPHS Postgraduates. The event is happening now through Monday, March 24. Just scan the QR code on the flyers around the halls for a wish list of items needed. Drop all donations in the box in the KPHS lobby. We need your help so spread the word!
