HALLOWEEN EDITION
*******************************************
Thank You KPA
Thank you to Jenn (and Howard) Buzick for hosting the Kittredge Parent Association Social last Friday evening. With drinks, food, beautiful weather, and wonderful company I heard many references to having a garden party. It really couldn’t have been better.
And of course thank you to every Kittredge School parent, whether or not you attended, because each of you create the KPA. Your support of your children and the school are evident and appreciated every day. For those who couldn’t make it, we hope to celebrate with you next time!
