UNICEF Campaign a Huge Success… $1039.17 Was Donated
Kittredge students and their families outdid themselves this year while collecting for UNICEF during our Halloween trick or treat fundraiser.
As many of you know, UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund) helps mothers and children in developing countries. A little money goes a long way… $5 will give a child 5 days of food; $15 will supply a child with a year’s worth of clean water; $30 will protect 100 kids from measles; $100 will protect 100 children from malaria and $400 will buy a pump to give an entire village clean water.
We have sent $1,039.17 to UNICEF from Kittredge School. Please give yourselves a hand!

Last, But Definitely Not Least… A Lovely True Story from Mr. L.
After the championship cross-country race last Wednesday, the athletic director from another school pulled me aside to tell me what he saw. He said, “I was helping monitor the varsity race when somebody announced that all the runners were finished. However four JV runners from Kittredge pointed out that there was one more boy on the course. They then ran over to support that runner as he tried to complete his race. As it turns out the runner was not from Kittredge but that didn’t seem to matter to your kids. They cheered and ran with him until his coach met him and ran with him the rest of the way. It was a beautiful display of sportsmanship and what middle school sports should be all about. I have to say it’s always the Kittredge kids… You must be proud!” I told him that I was!
