Room 18 had a fun week making sushi in class and going on a field trip to the Aquarium! The 3rd and 5th graders enjoyed a trip to CSUN for a special game and presentation! And lastly, the 2nd graders went to Calabasas to watch the Little Mermaid. What a fun and full week to finish off January!

A member of our Balboa community, Mrs. Myrna Cañas, lost her home in the Eaton fire on January 8. A longtime educator in LAUSD, Mrs. Cañas taught at Balboa for 24 years as a 4th grade teacher and has been an active volunteer in Mrs. Sherry's and Ms. Hallett's classrooms in the last two years.
