“Kings mountain associated parents (kmap) is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that coordinates and represents parents and caregivers of students at kings mountain elementary school (kmes) to maintain long-term success for this distinguished school. Kmap raises funds for enrichment programs, school events, and staffing to support high quality education, a positive school experience, and community building. It also serves as a vehicle of communication and collaboration between school families, school staff, the coastside and kings mountain communities, other cusd schools, cabrillo education foundation, external education initiatives and the cabrillo unified school district (cusd) district office and administration. Funds secured by kmap are distributed with discretion for the educational and enrichment needs of the students.”

“The 2023-2024 school year saw the return of our much beloved kings mountain art fair cookie sales as well as our art fair painting booth. The fundraiser was a fantastic success and we sold out of our cookies by monday morning. We hosted all of our traditional events including the welcome picnic, first day of school tea & tissues, stone soup gathering, recital receptions, open house, field day, and graduation. Our three other fundraisers, the voluntary tuition drive, spring open house raffle, and coastside gives, all proceeded as planned and hit fundraising targets. Our efforts to support high quality education and a positive educational experience included funding a dedicated science specialist for the k-3 classes, curriculum supplements, assemblies, supply stipends, and field trips. We also approved one off larger classroom needs as requested. We continued to fund, in partnership with the school district, a third full time teacher at the school. We also made increased efforts to raise the profile of the school site in hopes of reaching more students who would benefit from the small school environment. We increased our social media presence, increased online advertising, and increased school tour opportunities. An increased enrollment would strengthen our position within the school district which would lighten our financial commitment to funding a third teaching position which is a huge strain on our budget.”
