Thank You KPA!
The faculty and staff want to take this opportunity to thank the Kittredge Parents’ Association for their positive spirit and tremendous backing throughout the year. The good vibes and fun time at the Dinner and Auction last Saturday night showed just how much support we receive from the entire school community.
The KPA supports many of our special events (first day coffee, Holiday Happening, Talent Show, and graduation). They also purchase much of our technology and sports equipment, as well as fund classroom field trips. All of this makes Kittredge School a better place for teachers to teach and students to learn.
We want to thank each and every parent, friend and relative for attending and making the party so much fun. The KPA leadership and the Auction/Dinner volunteers outdid themselves this year. Please give them all a hand!

Habit of Mind for May/June: Thinking Flexibly
“If you never change your mind, why have one?” ~Edward deBono
Look at things another way! Successful people are able to change perspectives, generate alternatives, and consider new options.

Seventh Grade Parent High School Information Night – May 10 @ 6:00pm
All parents of 7thgraders are invited (and strongly encouraged) to meet with Mr. Young to hear about the admissions process for High School. Now is a great time to begin organizing your calendar with dates and details so there will be less stress in the Fall!

Teacher Development Day – May 18th
Friday, May 18, is a scheduled workday for teachers so there will be no classes in session. With a minimum of 5 students, Extended Day will be open during the hours of 8:00am to 6:00pm and available for per diem drop in students ($50/day). There will be no charge for those with an Extended Day contract.
There will be a Survey Monkey form for parents to fill out so we can plan for Extended Day staffing. Thank you all in advance!

Student Art Pieces
Update by Thalia Kent
In case you missed the auction, you can still purchase your child’s work of art! Not only are the photos phenomenal (thank you Ms. Perkins) but the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” themed mats are real masterpieces (thank you Ms. Gules)! You may purchase and pay online $49 (www.kittredgeauction.com) or give Trudy a check for $49 made payable to the KPA. Pictures and frames will be at school for a couple weeks. Stop by to look!
Also, if you have already paid for your photo, Trudy will have it at school for pick up. Thank you for supporting the KPA! You can contact me with any questions at: Thalia_kent7@yahoo.com
