Podesta Ranch Newletter 03/16/2025

What an incredible week at Podesta Ranch! Our 3rd-6th graders dove into three days of hands-on STEAM science lessons, sparking curiosity and creativity. Meanwhile, our 1st and 2nd graders explored their artistic side with a visit from our wonderful art docent.

We also had some exciting celebrations! Pi Day was a huge success, as we honored students who amazed us by reciting 100 digits of pi from memory. And on Friday, we cheered for our current top "Words Read" champion! A special shoutout to Mr. Hudson and Mrs. Brandow for embracing the spirit of fun in a very messy way (see the picture for proof)—your enthusiasm made the day even more memorable!

Enjoy a well-deserved Spring Break, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back on Monday, March 31st!

Sincerely,

Alyssa Barban, Principal
