From the Desk of Mrs. Weekes
Dear Los Pen Families,
This week, our students enjoyed showcasing their basketball skills when we were visited by some professional San Diego Sharks basketball players! What a treat it was to watch our students enthusiastically play alongside them. We deeply appreciate Melissa Varela (LPES parent, PTA member, and Room Parent Coordinator) for organizing this fun and unique opportunity for our children.
If you are looking for an event that the whole family can enjoy, consider a San Diego Sharks basketball game, where tickets and popcorn are FREE! See the schedule or the link below.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Weekes
Community Traffic Updates
The City of San Diego is about to begin a construction project in our area that will affect our traffic during arrival and dismissal. Attached is a construction notice and map area of where work will take place (adjacent to our school).
Work is anticipated to begin next week, pending weather delays. Access to driveways should not be impeded. There may just be a slight delay as they work to improve the street. Work will begin with sidewalks and curb ramps next week, and that will be about one week. They are expected to return a few weeks later and work on repaving the road, and that will take another one to two weeks.
Please plan accordingly for potential traffic delays. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
