Portrait of a KIPPster is a photoblog of glimpses into the stories and moments that give us pause and purpose.

"This picture and moment was one of the biggest highlights of my week. Ethan from USC asked Mrs. Hu all week if he could assist me with the morning affirmation message.

But he was ready for the challenge, and embraced it with pride and confidence...and he’s only 5!!" (Amanda, KIPP Vida Prep Interim School Leader, Nov 2019)
