WE MISSED Y’ALL! We’re back in school tomorrow! Remember: full uniform, conferences on Wed/Thurs, and state testing starting 5/3!!

There so much to celebrate this week at KIPP BOLD Academy! Our band marched in Newark’s St Patrick’s Day Parade and was featured on the news! And our BOLD Ballers won their next playoff game last night, making it to the semi-finals! The arts and athletics are a big part of what makes us BOLD! Ondrena Clyburn

Shout out to some of our BOLD Founders—now in 11th grade—who came back to help our BOLD Ballers win their first playoff game! The score was 39-9! B-O-L-D all the way to victory!

Come join us for Coffee and Convos tomorrow at 8:30. All families welcome!
