Wellness Day 2026

[Mary Green]

Wellness Day 2026 is a wrap and it was an awesome day for KP! 

This morning we kicked things off with National Bike, Walk and Roll to School. It rained and our families showed up still. We made a Wall of Fame now hanging at the school entrance. So proud of you all hanging in there with the weather. Special shout out to Bailey Condroy ( a long time advocate for a safer parkwood drive) who came out in the rain to help along Parkwood Drive as a designated crossing guardian.  I’m very proud of our neighbors here! 

Teachers were treated to massages during their much needed break, they picked up wellness goodie bags, and fueled up on fresh juice shots that were honestly a big hit.

Our students were treated to good vibe stickers, healthy snacks in the cafeteria, and a message over KPTV. 

None of this happens without a lot of generous people:

Valerie Dulk-Jacobs, our cafeteria manager, made sure the kids had healthy food options at their tables today too, so the whole school could feel the wellness day.

Bailey, our neighbor, volunteered as crossing guard at Saul’s and Parkwood all morning and kept everyone moving safely.

Our massage therapists, Holly Markush LMT, 7 Days Spa (2 therapists), Naps and Wraps, and Massage Spring Spa, were fabulous and a special treat to all our staff. 

Major shout out to our local donors who provided free giveaways for the staff raffled each hour. 

-  Barre3 Bethesda, Candice Marcus, Knowles Station Wine and Co., La Gelateria, Legendary Fitness, Rachel Margolis, SWTHZ Pike and Rose, and Talia’s Cuzina. 

These made the staff giveaway something our teachers will remember.

And a huge thank you to our parent volunteers:  Amy Rosenfeld, Cara Martin, Casey Crimmins, Dean Demetropoulos, Jenny Pacurari, Kate Perkins, Katherine Young, and Matney Murad, Their help spanned the whole day behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Thank you all. Happy Wellness Day!
