KPA Programs
Ditto
Ditto is an upscale resale store, offering clothing and home goods. Founded and operated by the Christian Schools Association of St. Louis (CSASL), 90% of the profits at Ditto go toward tuition remission at Kirk Day School and the other founding schools.
Ditto depends on volunteers from CSASL schools to operate. Kirk Day School is responsible for suppling Ditto with these essential volunteers two weeks per semester. These volunteer hours translate into direct profit for KDS resulting in $214 earned specifically for KDS by every volunteer hour! Volunteers also receive 20% off all purchases on the day they volunteer.
Room Parents
KDS room parents help build community between classroom parents, students and teachers while communicating available serving opportunities to parents. The KPA provides a $50 budget to each classroom for room moms to use at their discretion throughout the school year. Room parents plan and coordinate classroom events, send email reminders to volunteers, and help out with field trips.
