THIS WEEK’S NEWS
A High-Five to Ms. Baker and Ms. Pon-Barry
Congratulations to our two new amazing authors, Ms. Pon-Barry and Ms. Baker. They wrote chapter 4 titled, “Small is Beautiful: A Place to Grow the Habits of Mind” in the book “Nurturing Habits of Mind in Early Childhood.” Subtitled “Success Stories from Classrooms Around the World”, it is easy to see why the publishers ASCD wanted these two amazing teachers to share their successes for their book! Congratulations to you both, and thanks for making Kittredge great!

NEXT WEEK’S NEWS
High School Admissions Representatives
Every year our 7th and 8th graders are fortunate to have the wonderful experience of meeting and listening to admissions representatives from many of the private high schools in the city. The representatives come to Kittredge and spend about an hour with our students explaining their school and answering questions. This is a very personal and special opportunity that our students receive as they are completing their high school admissions process.
So far they have met with reps from Branson and University High School. Lick Wilmerding and Besent are coming later this week. In October they will hear from Drew High School, Saint Ignatius, Jewish Community High School, SF High School of the Arts, Woodside International, The Marin School, Sacred Heart, International High School, The Bay School, Urban High School, and Riordan and Mercy High Schools.
