NatureBridge: In Progress Now
On Sunday our 7th and 8th graders left for Yosemite National Park for a very memorable outdoor education and bonding experience. So far the weather has been great, the food has been plentiful and the rooms come with an amazing view!
We will welcome them back on Friday about 5pm.

The 6th Grade Invention Convention – December 5
Students have been using many of the Habits of Mind (thinking flexibly, being creative, taking responsible risks, gathering data and persevering – to name a few) in order to produce a new invention. They will share their original creation next Wednesday. Sixth grade parents are invited to stop in and see the displays at 2:15.

No Hot Lunch This Friday, December 7
Because this is the only Friday lunch in December, and our 8th graders are gone, we will skip the entire month and be back in January with lunches to order.

Parent Conferences are next Thursday and Friday
Minimum days are scheduled next Thursday and Friday so that teachers can hold parent conferences. Extended Day is available for students during their conference time. Parents must sign in their child with an Extended Day teacher before they head off to their conference.
Important: Please make sure you arrive on time for your conference so that you can take advantage of the full 20-minute time spot. Because conferences are scheduled back to back, it is important that they end on time.

One More Way to Help… Slipper Drive, December 11
Robyn Mar (8th grader) is holding a slipper drive for La Casa de las Madres. Their mission is to respond to calls for help from domestic violence victims, of all ages, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They give survivors the tools to transform their lives and seek to prevent future violence by educating the community and by redefining public perceptions about domestic violence.
If you can help, please bring in a new pair of slippers by next Tuesday. Robyn will pick them up on Pajama Day.

Holiday Happening –Thursday, December 20 from 6:30 – 8:15
All families are invited to attend Kittredge School’s annual Holiday Happening. Please mark your calendars now to make sure you don’t miss this wonderful event.
Please bring a finger food appetizer or dessert to share.
A sandwich snack is provided.
There will be crafts and games for all.
We will end with a community sing-a-long.
As always, a great time is expected!
Rumor has it that Santa will make an appearance.
Important Note To All Parents: During the Holiday Happening we ask parents to supervise their own children. There will be a lot of stimuli throughout the school and it can be overwhelming to some. Also, the party must stay inside the school building. Students will not be able to leave the school without parent supervision.
