KPA NEWS
Spring Social Save the Date: Saturday, April 2, 2022
Time: TBD (evening)
Location: Kittredge School Courtyard
It’s been too long since we held the Fall Social – so we are hard at work on having a fun adult-only Spring event! Come gather, nosh and nibble with us and join in fundraising for our school and kids! Details to come soon!
Our featured fundraising event at the Spring Social is the Count Me In.
What is a Count-Me-In?
Count Me Ins are a great way to foster community, build connections, have fun together, and help support Kittredge! Hosts offer up events, and participants sign up for them. Each event raises money for the KPA by having a fixed, modest donation attached.
A great example is the Donut Hike last Fall by the McConnell Family. They like hiking, they like donuts, they put those two things together, invited the Kittredge Community, and Voila! a Count-Me-In was formed. Do you love building cool structures on the beach out of driftwood and would be willing to invite friends to join? Do you have a favorite hobby, like painting, and could teach a small group of people? Do you love bakeries, and want to give a tour of your favorite ones? It can be just about anything! Parents, kids, and teachers are all welcome to host one and it can be as small or as big as you would like.
We are having an open call for host ideas.
If you have an idea that you would like to contribute please fill out the google form below. I would love to hear your ideas, even if you do not have a full plan, or a date yet. The goal is for the sign-up and ticket buying to happen at the Spring Social. All events would happen in April, May or early June (before end of school year).
Count-Me-Ins Sign-up Form:
Thank you!
Jessica May-Shah (Social Chair, parent of Momo-Kinder and Lila-4th)
