Ms. De La Torre has created a packet for select students to get parents to set up their Parent Portal account. Please set up your account. If you need help, please visit our Parent Reps and they are happy to help you get it set up.

Harvest Festival

Tiger Family,

A huge thank you for another successful Harvest Festival. We came together joining forces to celebrate the season. Families and students enjoyed a safe, fun filled afternoon full of smiles and community building. We continue to forge strong bonds making 153rd St ES a cornerstone in Gardena.

A special recognition of gratitude to Ms. Hope for her unwavering commitment to our students. She spent countless hours planning, organizing, holding parent meetings and ensuring every detail was addressed so this event was a success. Thank you Ms. Hope for your leadership!

Thank you to our Parent Center representatives! Ms. De La Torre who led volunteers supporting prep work in the weeks leading up to Harvest Festival as well as managing the popular food station. Ms. Vasquez was the creative genius who transformed the library into the amazing Harvest House.

Thank you teachers and aides for hosting the game stations. It was fabulous to see students and families playing and laughing with you.

Thank you to our Main Office for all the coordination and communication support.

Thank you to our B&G staff for keeping our campus top notch before and after Harvest Festival.
