Dear Curtis Families,

With thanks to the wonderful support and generosity of all the Curtis parents, your Party Book team is thrilled to present the 2017-2018 #FUTURE Party Book. It’s filled with so many fresh, inventive and ingenious celebrations for Curtis kids, parents and families. Our Party Book truly reflects the generous, friendly and creative spirit of the Curtis School community. We asked for your participation, and you all really stepped up to the plate. We are so excited about the clever, collaborative party ideas that people dreamed up to entertain and bring the Curtis community together.

Party Book events are the perfect way to experience the warm and wonderful Curtis community that everyone has grown to love. We are an inclusive community that understands that sometimes the language we use to showcase an event often unintentionally reinforces dominant norms around gender, age and other identities and experiences. Please note that we are mindful of making sure each family feels welcome and included. The parties listed in this book are an open invitation to anyone who wishes to attend.

Perhaps most importantly, the parties we throw support the Financial Aid Fund. The more parties you sign up for, the more we raise to help other families attend and enjoy our extraordinary school! This year’s Party Book has something for everyone, so take a peek and get ready to sign up on-line when Party Book goes LIVE on Tuesday, October 3, at 10:00 AM.

This Party Book would not be possible without the support of our wonderful PA Executive Committee. Thank you for all of your encouragement and enthusiasm! Thank you to the Curtis faculty and administration for supporting our events this year. And finally THANK YOU to the entire Curtis School family for hosting, planning and attending the events that make Party Book such a great success year after year!

Party Book events create memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Curtis School, we see some parties in your #FUTURE!

With Love,

Your 2017-2018 Party Book Co-Chairs Annabelle Apley, Lisa Hamilton Daly, Jill Glennon, and April Topp

#600 LA Kids Giving Back - Natural Disaster Aid / Preparedness

If you are wondering how you can help those affected by recent natural disasters and how to create an emergency plan for your own family, this event should be on your calendar! Everyone will go home with an Emergency Kit Backpack, full of basic necessities (all packed up by the children!) and learn about what you should do during a natural disaster to keep your family safe from a presentation by "Save a Little Life." Come to learn (or relearn) CPR skills and fill out and take home an "In Case of Emergency" questionnaire that outlines your family's plan during an emergency. LA Kids Giving Back members will give a short presentation focused on raising awareness about how kids and adults can each best assist others during natural disasters. We will keep the topic light and will have fun snacks and a Q&A so the kids leave with the compassion and love that drives the mission of LA Kids Giving Back.
