Increase Miller Elementary School

Books stacked high, the Crunchem Hall spirit on full display 🎭✨ IMES 5th graders presented Matilda Jr. the musical.

💜They understood the assignment 💜💛 Across KLSD, PTOs went ALL OUT for Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, from breakfast spreads and catered lunches to themed days and many thoughtful surprises. Celebrating our teachers and staff who show up every day for our students. Thank you for all that you do.

Designing for the future 🏡 JJHS environmental physics students took passive house design from concept to full build, mapping out blueprints, airflow, insulation, and energy systems with real-world purpose. Designs also incorporated accessibility features like ramps, wide doorways, and no-step layouts. High school students presented their projects to 4th graders at Increase Miller and Katonah Elementary, helping connect younger students to sustainability topics through peer-led learning.

Exciting sustainability achievement 🌎 We are thrilled to announce that KLSD has received the New York State Green Ribbon Schools award! From solar power to cleaner transportation to a geothermal energy system, our efforts are making a big impact. Students are leading the way by advocating for climate policy, getting their hands dirty in the garden, and working with local conservation organizations.

Another Successful Sustainability Showcase 🌱🌎

On Tuesday evening, the district celebrated its sustainability progress and goals with student projects, examples of energy savings across the district, and even a tour on board one of the district’s electric buses.

Elementary school Green Teams showed off their efforts and older students shared research projects. These initiatives focused on recycling and waste reduction, protecting wildlife and habitats, and the impact of everyday choices on the environment, along with ecosystem models and builds created from reused materials. Our community partners joined the conversation with displays and a Q&A panel, highlighting conservation efforts, wildlife education, and sustainable practices.
