Kings Mountain Associated Parents

Kings Mountain Associated Parents (KMAP) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that coordinates the parent-lead groups at Kings Mountain Elementary School (KMES) to maintain long-term success for this award winning school and its students.  KMAP has taken over and expanded the duties of the previous fundraising organization at KMES known as Kings Mountain Education Fund.  KMAP incorporates the goals of fundraising for KMES programs, promoting the school, and advising the Kings Mountain Children’s Center (KMCC) after-school program into a single non-profit organization.  The purpose here is to focus strategically on educational excellence for this small rural school while maximizing the school's limited volunteer resources.  Read the full 2010 ANNUAL REPORT.* Read KMAP Bylaws.

KMAP provides a means of communication and collaboration between KMES families, parent groups, school staff, the community, and CUSD administration.  Funds secured by KMAP are to be distributed for the educational and enrichment needs of the students or the improvement of the school site, as determined and prioritized by the KMES Site Council.

Every parent is encouraged to attend any of the board or committee meetings.  KMAP monthly meeting locations alternate between 8:00 A.M. at the school and 7:00 P.M. at a rotating location on the coast. Meeting notices are posted on the bulletin board outside of the school office and/or on the school Yahoo group. The KMAP board is made up of an executive board and voting directors/committee chairs.  The committees organize various KMAP activities.  For more information email kmap-executive-board@googlegroups.com.

Off to Another Successful Fundraising Year!
Thanks to generous community support and parent volunteers, Kings Mountain Associated Parents (KMAP), a non profit organization, has once again exceeded its annual goals, making it possible to fund important education programs while executing necessary site improvements at Kings Mountain Elementary School. Continuing on its course to provide private funding essential to operating our school,
KMAP has three goals:
  1. Maintenance funding - for preserving a level of excellence and standard that is well established for K-5 primary education. Staffing the positions of and on-site administrator (Site Director), a science
    specialist, and instructional aides fit this category. As well as does classroom and office supplies.
  2. Enrichment funding - for the educational experiences of childhood that extend beyond the academic realm such as technology, art, music, performing arts and physical education.
  3. Emergency funding - for the preparedness of unforeseen expenditures.
