    Lost items accumulated over the year will be donated to a local charity. (probably over Winter and Spring breaks)

    unicornIncluding our sleepy friend (pictured at right) that was found one day in traffic.

    There's SOOO many items... jackets, shirts, shoes, water bottles, lunch boxes, hats, backpacks... 

    Please take some time to find your child's lost items.

    It has taken a long time to plan and approve, but we're finally scheduling the installation of our shade! We are contracting with Enriched LA to create 2 outdoor classrooms using the 30K we raised during our walk a thon last year.  The 2 area’s will be in the kinder yard and the patch of dirt across from the volleyball courts along Beckford Ave.
