Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our Jog-A-Thon was last Thursday and it was a great success. Special thanks to PLC Fundraising Chair Leah Nakayama, Mr. Pablo Flores, and all our parent volunteers. Congratulations to all our winners! An email was sent with all the names of the top runners in each class. This Monday, work will begin in replacing our basketball court backboards. We are thankful for your continued support of our school! Just a reminder that Saturday, April 13 (from 6pm) – Wednesday, April 17 (till 5pm) SAP will be hosting a Clothing and Textile Drive. Please leave your donations anytime during this time frame near the garage doors by the Noah’s Ark mural near the grassy area in secure plastic bags. If you have any questions please contact Leah Nakayama at (310) 686-1194 or NakayamaFam2003@gmail.com
We are well into the Lenten season. In our classrooms, students are reminded of this special season as a serious preparation for Easter. We as Christians continue to practice Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving during this time. As your child’s first teachers, we strongly encourage you to continue this conversation at home.
Mrs. Grey, Principal
