Kindergarteners and Families Score!
Posted April 30, 2026
The USD 353 Kindergarten Kick-Off was held at Wellington High School last week, welcoming families as they registered students for the 2026-27 school year. The football-themed event featured fun activities, giveaways, and special gifts for each child to take home.
The “goal” of the event was to encourage families to enroll the community’s youngest learners early for school. School officials, easy to spot in their referee attire, were available throughout the evening to assist families with the enrollment process.
Students learned which school they would attend and had the opportunity to meet their principal and teachers. A large play area filled with toys and games also gave future classmates a chance to gather together and play.
About 40 families attended the event, which also included a drawing for a family pool pass to the Wellington Family Aquatic Center, provided by the Wellington Recreation Commission.
Families who missed the Kindergarten Kick-Off and would like more information about enrolling their child are encouraged to call 620-326-4300.
Welcome, new kindergarteners!
