The KIPP Five guide how we show up every day: Expect Greatness. Bring Joy. Do the Right Thing. Lead Together. Fully Commit.

Throughout the year, we’ll spotlight each one in action and as we close out Quarter 1, we’re starting with BRING JOY! 🎉

From spirit days and celebrations to joyful classrooms and everyday wins, our KIPPsters have given us plenty to smile about.
