A Big Round of Applause to the KPA
Our talent show last week was a huge success and lots of fun. The whole school community thanks the KPA for their generosity in funding the beautiful venue that we all enjoyed. The reception in the atrium with coffee and light snacks was a wonderful way to begin the evening…thank you Debbie and Liz for your time. Let’s do it again next year!

April’s Habit of Mind: Finding Humor
Nobody knows why we laugh. It is an instinct that can be traced back to chimps. Beyond the fact that laughing is enjoyable, it may have medical value as well. Laughing, scientists have discovered, has positive effects on physiological functions: blood vessels relax, stress hormones disperse, and the immune system gets a boost. Humor has also been found to have psychological benefits. It liberates creativity and provokes higher-level thinking skills.
“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere”.
~Dr. Seuss

Culture Day is this Thursday, April 7!
Culture Day is our annual celebration of the diversity of our world! Classroom teachers are working with their students to identify a culture to celebrate… either the student’s own, or one that he or she wants to learn about.
In typical Kittredge fashion, the main celebration will revolve around the food of the culture. Everyone is asked bring an item to share at lunchtime. Classes will open their doors and a cultural feast will be available for students at lunch.
