Mr. K as he was fondly known to all, touched the lives of so many students and staff across our schools for 22 years. Teaching PE at Field-Stevenson, Grant-White, and Betsy Ross, Mr. K was always looking for ways to engage his students with fun games and activities. He was focused on meeting students where they were at with their athletic abilities and helping each and every child be successful. From parachute games, scooter races, basketball and volleyball units, to Jump Rope for Heart fundraising and even pickleball, many D91 students looked forward to going to PE because of him.
Mr. K attended the annual PE convention every year to make sure he was staying current. He collaborated with other PE teachers and staff to plan the annual 5th grade Field Day, a day all 5th graders looked forward to in the spring. He extended his time supporting the after-school sports program for many years and joined the 5th graders on their outdoor education field trip.
Mr. K was always willing to help out and have a chat with you, especially about the things he loved outside of school, his family, skiing, scuba diving, and all of his adventures and travels.
He will be dearly missed and is remembered warmly by his family, friends, colleagues, and our students. We are all profoundly saddened by his passing and send our thoughts to his family and friends during this difficult time.
