ELECTION DAY EDITION
Please Be a Voter Today!
We use Character Counts at Kittredge to teach and instill behaviors that develop good citizens in our community. Election Day is a time when, as a family, many of those attributes can shine. Please use your voice and actions to teach your children how voting demonstrates good citizenship and how accepting the results tomorrow shows respect and good character.

The Running Gags Season Finale
Our final cross-country race was yesterday and all of our runners did a great job! It should be noted that Alexander Kiss finished fourth in his race and Luke Vilhauer finished eighth in his. Way to go Luke, Alexander and all Running Gags!
It was a great cross-country season. The kids really worked hard, got fitter and ran better by the end of the year! We couldn’t have done it this year without Susan Keene, Tom Vilhauer and Tatiana Piech who ran with the team at practices and coached when needed! Thanks for a great year.
