Plastic Film Drive: Hey Conks!!! Want to help save the planet by keeping plastic out of the landfill? If so, bring in any plastic film you were going to toss in the garbage and drop it in the specially marked bins located in the Main Building and the Annex instead. Not sure what plastic film is? Check out the flyers located around the school or go to https://get.ridwell.com/kw to get more information about our school's drive, plastic film, and how you can earn Kentwood a year of free plastic film pickup from Ridwell next year. The drive will run from Monday, April 27th thru Friday, May 1st. All you have to do is bring in your clean plastic film and drop it in the bin. Ridwell will collect it and turn it into Trex® composite decking boards. Not only will this decrease the number of trees being cut down for lumber, but it keeps plastic out of landfills, which ultimately keeps it out of our oceans and wild areas.

There will be designated boxes for students and teachers to drop off lightly used clothes in the following locations: Annex Office, Main Office, SSA Office, Room 160, and all teacher lounges. The final day to donate is May 6th!  All donations will be Given to the KAC PTSA Clothing Bank, which supports students and families of all KSD schools.

Financial Aid: Going to college or training next fall? Financial aid applications for this year’s graduating seniors are available now! In Washington, there are TWO ways to apply for financial aid. You should ONLY complete one application—the FAFSA or the WASFA:

FAFSA: Most people should complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to get the most aid available. The FAFSA is used by U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens to apply for both state and federal financial aid.

WASFA: The WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) is an application only for state financial aid. The WASFA is used by people who are not eligible to complete the FAFSA due to immigration status, defaulted federal loans, or other issues with federal aid. Or for people who choose not to file a federal FAFSA application. 

Still have questions regarding Financial Aid? Reach out to your counselor or KW Career Specialist located in the Career Center in Room 156!
