Thank you, Steven and Jessica

Check out the parking lot from the final Cal Football Fundraiser of 2023! Big shoutout to Steven Wilson and Jessica Wilson (parents of Langston, Grade 2, and Tyler, Grade 6) who have coordinated this important fundraiser for many years. The PTA is looking for new leads for the 2023- 2024 Football season. We hope parents will step up to help us keep this tradition going. Please consider and reach out to the PTA if you are willing!

Underwater Scenes by TK

TK artists used different colors of paint to create beautiful painted papers. We cut out the papers into circles. We made an opening for the mouth and used the triangular piece we cut out as the tail. After gluing the fish into our ocean scene, we added eyeballs and seaweed. Great work, TK artists!
