What Would We Do Without Our Secretaries?!
Today, we're shouting from the rooftops (or at least the hallways!) for Mrs. Demoss and Mrs. Giles! These two remarkable ladies are the heart of our school, the friendly faces who greet every day with kindness and efficiency.
Their dedication to our students, staff, and families is truly unparalleled. They make sure everything runs smoothly, even when the days get a little crazy (like when secretary day falls on our PreK-2nd field day!). They handle the logistics, answer countless questions, and solve problems with grace and a positive attitude.
Thank you, Mrs. Demoss and Mrs. Giles, for all you do! We don't know what we'd do without you!
Happy School Secretary Appreciation Day!

We are thrilled to announce that R.V. Kerr is officially getting a brand-new putting course!
This awesome addition comes to us through the "Piece the Course" program, but the real story is how we earned it. This year, our team stepped up in a massive way for our community.
🏆 Why We Won
We didn't just donate; we crushed our goals. R.V. Kerr achieved the highest dollar amount increase in donations to the United Way compared to last year!

We are planning to have PK–2 Field Day as scheduled tomorrow.
While there is currently a 64% chance of rain in the early morning hours, the forecast improves significantly by 11:00 am.
If weather conditions require an adjustment, we will delay the start time until 11:00 am. and communicate that as soon as possible.
Thank you for your flexibility and support—we are looking forward to a great Field Day for our Kerr Kats!
