Our second-grade students at Superior Street were hard at work in January exploring the life cycles of butterflies, chickens, and frogs. Through hands on learning, students created art projects depicting each fascinating and diverse stage in the life cycle of these animals.

Thank you Superior Elementary for hosting this month's Family Academy on English Learners. Parents from all of our schools and Community Reps gathered to watch a live webinar happening at a different location. We are grateful to have a local school be available to our families to share in this wonderful parents engagement session.

Some families at Canoga Park Elementary was affected by the devastating fires but the school has helped all the families and in need.

4th Grade was hard at work building the intricate California mission kits as part of studying the state’s history for their social studies curriculum. Creating mission kits helps the students learn in a hands-on way and encourages them to research the missions, understand its architecture, purpose, and history. The students were excited to see what they had learned come to fruition. Thankful to our amazing 4th parent volunteers who supported the students in the classroom!
