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 — 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 💛

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:
💬 “Something that gives me hope…”
💬 “My 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! 🫶🏽
