The Holiday Gift Drive is a one of the many remarkable services North Andover Youth Services provides to families in our community. Because of financial hardships on some families, many children would go without gifts during the holidays. The Holiday Gift Drive addresses this issue by organizing sponsors to donate gifts for children in need. Sponsors can choose any number of children they wish to provide gifts for, and whether it be one child or four from a family, each sponsor is essential to the Holiday Gift Drive being a success year after year. Youth Services is expecting even more children added to our list this year, and we are eager to expand our existing list of sponsors. If you are or know of a family in need of these services please contact Kristen Hardacre or Jenn Conway of North Andover Youth Services. North Andover Youth Services can only accept families from North Andover that have children age 18 or younger. All referrals and participating families are kept anonymous. If you and your family would like to be a part of this event, please call Kristen or Jenn at Youth Services to request a sponsor form, +1 978 682 9000 ext. 226 or e-mail: jconway@nayouth.com. This is an outstanding service made possible only by your generosity. To become a sponsor, please respond by November 10th. Thank you for your support.

The Youth Center will be open to all North Andover 4th and 5th grade students from 1 pm - 4 pm, Saturdays, for a fee of $2. See you there!

The PTO needs more volunteers to help with the many fun projects happening at Kittredge this year. The poster for sign-ups is located on the PTO bulletin board in the school lobby. Most of the jobs only require volunteering one time for one or two hours. Many hands make light work! Please volunteer today!
