Dear Bobcat Families,

Thank you to all of our families that have made this week for teachers and staff so wonderful! The flowers and lunches have made everyone feel very special.

Auction!!!!

Please check out our Silent Auction! So many great events and items! Remember, all proceeds go directly to Santa Rita and your students and teachers. View all the items HERE!

Science Olympiad!

One June 6th, our 4th-6th graders will participate and compete in Science Olympiad! Santa Rita is unique, we are the only school in LASD that offers this amazing day. BUT....we must have over 50 volunteers to make this day happen. You do not need to have a 4th-6th grader to help out. In fact, we love to have parents from all grade levels. If you know any high school students or middle school students who are not in school and would like some volunteer hours we would love to have them also.

Please volunteer and sign up soon:
