As we reflect on the 5th anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, this story is a powerful reminder of how KIPP educators stepped up with creativity and care when Newark families needed it most.

Kindergarten Night School made a real difference for students during a scary and uncertain time. And that creative spirit is still central to how our school staff show up for students and families every day.

We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this important work and to The 74 for sharing this story.

The program is a unique example of a school that moved quickly to keep children from missing out on their first year of school.
