The Network of Schools Middle School Fair on Wednesday, November 6th was a huge success! Despite heavy winds that day, this year's Fair was the most attended This annual fair provides an opportunity for families to get information about the choices they have for Middle School during the open enrollment period which closed on November 15. Lawrence, Nobel, Hale, Portola and PRCS and Canoga Park Middle School showcased their amazing SAS and Magnet programs to the current 5th grade families so they can make the best choice for their upcoming Middle Schooler. Thank you to everyone who participated to make this evening successful!

Congrats to our winners from Beckford, Capistrano, Germain, Enadia and Superior who won some great prizes to start the holiday break!

On November 7, Topeka honored our very own veterans during a very special Veterans Day Assembly. Veterans were presented with a Certificate of Recognition in front of a captive audience of students, family, teachers and staff. It was a moving presentation and our students enjoyed participating in the celebration of our veterans.

Our November Coffee with the Principal was a success. Principal Chavez shared a presentation on attendance as parents enjoyed samples from the cafeteria.

Beckford PTA hosted their annual Scholastic Book Fair. The library was transformed into a bookshop for several days with fun-filled events from November 8th -November 15th. The book fair kicked off with a pajama spirit day. Students and staff loved wearing their pajamas to school and in the evening parents and families were invited to join the Pajamarama event. Hot chocolate was free for the kids. Pizza and Porto’s was available for purchase. Principal Hemmati, some parent volunteers and teachers did a special reading for the kids.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most important festivals in India and is celebrated by millions of people worldwide. It typically lasts five days and symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. 4th Grade classrooms and a 3rd grade class had the opportunity to learn about Diwali. Two wonderful parent volunteers read a book about Diwali, explained how it connects with the Indian culture and how it is celebrated in India. They also showed kids samples of diyas (which is a traditional oil lamp) and other festival decorations like rangoli (a traditional Indian art form of drawing colorful patterns on the floor, sidewalk, or outside of a home.)

During the month of November, Chatsworth Park UPM students were treated to the production of Cirque du Soleil. This show gave our students the visual ability to learn about physical education long with physical literacy and the importance of one’s own physical health.

Congratulations to the Robotics Team at Hart. St Elementary who love showing off their skills of making Robots!

Hart St. families were gifted special bags during the Thanksgiving Food Drive.

Our Superior Street students are committed to working hard and being present every day. During our Student Achievement Awards this November, several students in all grade levels were recognized for their impeccable attendance. Students with no absences, tardies, or early leaves received a unique Superior Street t-shirt for their accomplishment.

And 2 of our classrooms were treated to a special popcorn party for reaching an impressive 98.8% attendance! Congratulations to those 2nd and 3rd grade students on their remarkable dedication. Great job Cougars, keep the momentum going and make every day count!

Keep up the great attendance Superior students!
