| Book Fair | 
Join us for our PTSA sponsored Book Fair!
Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they'll get. We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives. Reading is vital to every child's success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they're young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent's direct involvement in his/her child's education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair!

| Cans From Our Campus | |
This year, in an effort to help those in need, the KIPP Vision Academy Campus has partnered with the Atlanta Food Bank for the Cans from our Campus Fall Food Drive. The food drive has already kicked off for KIPP Vision Primary and KIPP Vision Academy will begin its food drive the week of November 2, 2015. Both food drives will conclude on Friday, November 20, 2015.
Please allow your big and little KIPPsters the opportunity to participate in this event by bringing cans and non-perishable items to school during the time period listed above. Scholars will place their items in bins that will be placed at the front entrance and throughout the school for both KIPP Vision Primary and KIPP Vision Academy.
We thank you in advance for your participation and we look forward to our
Cans from our Campus Food Drive being a HUGE success.

Odyssey Program
|
on November 30, 2015 and will be due on January 21, 2016. The $35 registration fee will not be collected unless the student has been accepted into the program. Odyssey looks for students who would be first-generation scholars, qualify for free or reduced school lunches, and fall in the middle-third of their class. Odyssey is not currently designed to be an intervention program. Students need be eager to learn and able to make a 6-week commitment.
