Since 2016, KAO’s Community Schools Manager Ms. Alvarez has been part of what make KAO so special: a school where every student, family, and team member is valued and supported.

As a Northeast LA native, she found a second home in South LA β€” a testament to the love, connection, and community that define KAO.

For 20 years, KAO has built a legacy of belonging and opportunity. Let’s make sure it continues by urging LAUSD to this Tuesday, Oct. 14!

Happy World Mental Health Day πŸ’›

Last month, our KIPPsters participated in Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month by creating a Wall of Hope. 🧠✨

Students shared words of encouragement for each other and answered prompts like:
πŸ’¬ β€œSomething that gives me hope…”
πŸ’¬ β€œMy favorite coping skill…”

It was inspiring to see our students support each other, reflect on resilience, and celebrate the power of hope. Let’s continue to prioritize mental health and build a caring, connected school community every day! 🫢🏽
