This school year, we are again targeting donations to help purchase a new swing set and jungle gym with slide for the Elementary Playground. We will recognize our patrons and donors on the volleyball, football, and basketball programs. We are hoping that you will support the continuation of this tradition.

Early Childhood Special Education Peer Model Program

 Keystone Learning Services sponsors Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) classrooms in local school buildings.  These preschools are designed for children 3 to 5 years of age who qualify for services in areas such as communicating, learning, hearing, vision, moving or socializing.  Currently these programs are housed in Meriden, Oskaloosa, Valley Falls, and McLouth.  To enhance the program, children who are developing typically have been accepted as peer models. Peer Model applications are currently being accepted for the 2022-2023 school year.  Names will be randomly selected in a drawing that takes place in July.  The application deadline is June 30, 2022.
