Kramer Family Newsletter

Dear Kramer Families,

Thank you to all who were able to attend Who We Are Night! It was a great time to celebrate some of our own cultures and learn about others. This event is a great example of what makes Kramer such a special place — a community that values diversity and celebrates global thinking. Thank you for coming together and highlighting what it means to be part of an International Baccalaureate school!

Go Colts!
