Second trimester conferences are this Thursday and Friday, March 27 and 28! We can't wait to chat about our amazing students with everyone.

Next Week's News
Hello Dolly!
Grades 6-8 will be heading to Riordan next Wednesday, April 2, for a production of Hello Dolly. Students will be leaving promptly at 8:30, so please be sure your child arrives to school on time.
Culture Day Next Friday, April 4
Next Friday, April 4, is Culture Day! This beloved Kittredge spirit day asks students to bring a food item that is representative of a particular culture, either their own or another one that interests them! From 11 to 12, students will share food in a floor-level potluck. We ask that all food comes with labels that list ingredients and allergen information.
Minimum Day Next Friday, April 4
Next Friday is a minimum day, and the last day before Spring Break! If you would like your child to attend Extended Day that afternoon, please let us know using this Google form.
Looking Ahead
Spring Break April 7-11
Spring has sprung and our last break of the school year is nearly here! April 7-11 there will be no classes. We hope our Kittredge community has a wonderful break. Classes will resume on April 14.
Stuffed Animal Day on Monday, April 14
The day we return from break is also the cutest day of the year - stuffed animal day! Students are encouraged to bring their fluffy, furry friends with them to school on Monday, April 14.
Ice Cream Fundraiser
Kittredge student council will host an ice cream fundraiser for Andrea's Dream Rescue on Wednesday, April 16. Each child is entitled to ice cream (or a non-dairy treat) on this day and we encourage students to bring in a few dollars to support this feline cause. $120 is enough to sponsor medical evaluation and supplies for one cat. Let's see how many furry friends our community can help!
