Yosemite Institute Information Night for all 7th & 8th Grade Families, Tonight!

Tonight at 6:00 all 7th and 8th grade families will meet to learn about the outdoor education program at Yosemite Institute.

This meeting will set the tone and go over details to ensure a positive and successful week of outdoor education. We will talk about the academic requirements, behavioral expectations and the importance of team building. You will hear/see what a typical day at Y. I. will be like, and will be able to ask questions and address any concerns you have as a student, parent or family.

This is a very important meeting for first time participants but helpful for everyone.

UNICEF Campaign was a Huge Success… $930.23 Was Donated

Kittredge students and their families outdid themselves this year while collecting for UNICEF during our Halloween trick or treat fundraiser.

As many of you know, UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund) helps mothers and children in developing countries. A little money goes a long way… $5 will give a child 5 days of food; $15 will supply a child with a year’s worth of clean water; $30 will protect 100 kids from measles; $100 will protect 100 children from malaria and $400 will buy a pump to give an entire village clean water.

We have sent $930.23 to UNICEF from Kittredge School. Please give yourselves a hand!

Eighth Grade High School Recommendation Forms are Due

We are asking all 8th grade parents to help their children turn in all teacher and principal recommendation forms with stamped, addressed envelopes. Forms can be printed off most school’s websites and should be turned in by Thanksgiving Break to be sure to meet the deadline.

Parent Teacher Conferences, December 8 and 9

Thank you to everyone who has returned his or her conference form. We will send home your confirmed time tomorrow.

If you have not yet returned your form, please send it in as soon as possible with your 4 choices. You can download and print a form here if you need one: december-sign-up

If you would rather skip the conference this time and have your child’s report card mailed, please check off that option on the form and return it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Yesterday afternoon a parent gave me a conference form with no student name on it. It was a 3 page printout from the web and had a beautiful and artistic parent signature on it (but I can’t read it). Unfortunately I can’t remember who it came from and I can’t schedule the conference yet. Please let me know if you think this is yours.

Habit of Mind – Responding with Wonderment and Awe

Thirteen time Footbag world champion, Tuan Vu, showed off his amazing skills today at our second Responding with Wonderment and Awe assembly. His talent is phenomenal, and he was incredibly nice to come share it with us!

Our kids all got together to play footbag immediately after his skills presentation. It was awesome. Thank you Tuan! You are certainly a champion to us!

Please ask your kids about this special demonstration of wonderment and awe.
