This Thursday… Lemonade Stand for Hurricane Survivors
Student Council representatives voted today to collect funds to help hurricane survivors. On Thursday during Noon recess breaks, there will be a lemonade stand available for students in Rochambeau Park. A donation will be requested but not mandatory.
We know that the Red Cross will accept these donations, but if anyone knows another organization that is helping the hurricane survivors, please let us know.
Also, if anyone has a sports jug for dispensing drinks, we would love to borrow it. Please give us a call.
If you would like to help, please send your kids with a small donation on Thursday.

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 International High School, The Bay School, Stevenson Boarding School, Lick Wilmerding High School, Riordan and Mercy High Schools, Sacred Heart Cathedral, The Jewish Community High School, and St. Ignatius. In October they will hear from Waldorf, Convent and Stuart Hall, UHS, Xian Yun Academy of Arts, and Drew High School.
