There are many ways to celebrate and honor diversity. Building cultural literacy helps our students become ethical decision makers in our diverse world. Dia de Los Muertos is an important celebration in the Latinx community. All families are invited to learn about this celebration and create an "Ofrenda" to honor the memory of a loved one who has passed. Participating families can drop off an ofrenda starting October 30, to be displayed at our school. Also, the city of Long Beach is presenting a cultural event you may want to attend on November 4,

Jackie and Shadow, the Eagles of Big Bear, have visited their nest nearly every day for the last week. Their long summer hiatus around the lake without nest visits lasted almost 2 full months. Check out the live cam and you might hear them "chortling" back and forth to each other. They are stepping up their nest visits and making their nest stronger with each addition.
