Proceeds from this year’s event will help purchase Smartboards for classrooms that are currently without, as well as to supplement the creation of additional space at Kittredge. Look for ticket order forms in your child's backpack or check the webpage to print a ticket order form.

5-2-1-0 Screen Time: - The goal for March is to reduce screen time to 2 hours per day or less. Screen time includes: television, computers (excluding homework), video games, and hand held video games. Remember, you may choose any 14 days in the month of March to monitor and track your screen time habits. The goal tracker for the month of March was sent home last week, watch for a paper this week with a TV survey and suggestions for reducing television viewing in your home. Reducing TV and screen time provides more time to participate in physical activities.
