We saw the Sun!
Though it has been a short week, there was a lot going on and luckily we got to go outside and play every day! Today, we celebrated our STEM Challenge at lunch with some wonderful Marble Runs made by students of all ages. Tomorrow at Assembly we will give out the awards for the 'Most Engaging' and 'Longest or Slowest' Marble Run. Every student should be proud as each Run showed so much imagination and hard work. Please see the pictures below of our fun today.
As you may know from a recent email for our Superintendent, LASD is working to celebrate our students and teachers, sharing their success with our families and the broader community through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram–and we need your help!
