TEACHER'S PET mia and macy

These are our dogs Mia and Macy! They love to get in the sheets right out of the dryer and bury themselves. Gia named Mia (the one in the back). She is our newest addition. Both dogs are very lovable and Gia plays with them constantly. The picture below is of Mia behind my computer. I got lucky and had the camera ready. The dogs like to sit on my lap and climb on the desk while I work. It makes it hard to get anything done when you have such a cutie on the other side of the monitor!

TEACHER'S PET molly the jindo mix

Molly is a 1-year old Jindo mix. She is a rescue from the Pasadena Humane Society. Her favorite activities are going on walks, running around in circles, destroying toys that we buy her, and sitting at my feet, demanding love. Thoroughly spoiled, she knows COME, SIT, and HIGH-FIVE. We are currently working on FETCH and MAKE LATTE.

Friday, March 11

6:30 - 7:30 pm

Join us for a special sneak peek into the extraordinary education offered at our campus! In addition to our classrooms, we have many wonderful displays and performances for you to enjoy as you tour the campus. Friends, family, and prospective families are welcome! 

Congratulations to Raffle Winners  

This week in celebration of those families who took advantage of priority registration two students' names were chosen for  "Director for a Day" at Wednesday's Flag Salute.  Daphne S. won for the grades 2-3 category, and Brianna D. won for the grades 4-5 category.  Next year, the girls will have a day in which they take over Mrs. Calabria's office and experience what it is like to run the school. After having had a chance to test drive the director's chair, they started to think of ideas for their special day. (Hmmm...do you think they will grant free dress or plan some other fun activity?)  During next week's Junior High Assembly, another lucky student will be chosen to represent grades 5-7. It's not too late to submit your re-enrollment contract to be eligible for this drawing on Thursday.  

Also during the Parent Association Meeting on March 10, another drawing was held for a month of reserved parking. The names of nine children were drawn, one per month for the months of September 2011 through May 2012.  Their parents will enjoy their own parking space for a month. Mrs. Leyson was present at the meeting and shared her "happy dance" when she received the news.  All families that submit their re-enrollment contracts by next parent meeting will be eligible to win a free week of summer camp.  

Winners of Reserved Parking Space for the 2011-2012 School Year: 

• September:  Sydney Garabedian

• October:  Nishtha Arya

• November: Patricia Martinez

• December:  Rowan Leyson

• January: Girish Bawa 

• February: Michelle Phan

• March: Kenneth Eun

• April: Milan Robinson   

Congratulations to all our winners!

Kalden's mom delighted the first graders with a very exciting presentation on Tibet.  We learned about Mt. Everest, traditional dress and foods (Kalden and his mom wore traditional clotese), the Tibetan New Year, Losar, and cultural decorations.  We also learned that milk in Tibet comes from a yak!!  We ended the presentation with a delicious treat called Khapsey, which we compared to a kind of cookie.  Many thanks to the Blair family for their time and for educating us on Tibet!

Re-Enrollment Wrap-Up

It has been a fun filled re-enrollment season! I would like to express my appreciation to all of the families who have re-enrolled; we look forward to having another amazing year with your family! The Tiki Time Luau campaign has come to a close. Fridays Hula Dance with Mrs. Douglas and our special cake and pineapple treat made the day a complete joy!

I am happy to share that our campus surpassed our re-enrollment goal, in addition we have several classes that are now full. With that being said I what to reiterate how vital it is for those of you who have not yet re-enrolled to do so as soon as possible. Our current families are our priority, however new students are re-enrolling daily.  

I know you have many choices when selecting a school and I want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to exceed your expectations.
