Sustain DCSD
December 2017
Welcome to the World, Kai!
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes, or bags.
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
The Kittle family's hearts grew much more than three sizes when they welcomed baby Kai Hawke Kittle into the world on December 5. At 5 pounds 11 ounces and 19.5 inches long, Kai is the cutest little Christmas present ever. LeeAnn, Nick, Alyssia, and Kai are happy and healthy enjoying this magical season.
Happy holidays!

Max Krueger
Dear DCSD Sustainability Community,
It is with both sadness and excitement that I let you know that I will be leaving DCSD on December 15th. I have accepted a position with an architecture firm in Denver and will be joining their sustainable design practice. While I am looking forward to what the next chapter holds I will deeply miss this community. For those of you who I have had the pleasure of working with; I have learned from you more than you know and had too much fun along the way. For those of you I have not crossed paths with; keep up the great work you are doing to create a better world for the next generation. I will always hold my time at DCSD in the highest regard. Thank you all for being a part of it!
Sincerely,
Max
