Reminder: Cookie dough sales ends this week!

A friendly reminder to LPA Central families, all cookie dough sales need to be in by the end of the week!

Top sellers will get to attend a Frozen party, where they will meet the characters, have their picture taken with them, and do an
activity with them.

Why Drug Awareness Week Matters

No one likes to contemplate drug use in schools, particularly in elementary and middle grades. So no one really likes to be reminded about it. That’s a natural reaction for most parents and many students. But recent statistics indicate that drug use among middle school students is on the rise and that more are actually using drugs or alcohol in school.

Home Sweet Home is a Great Place for Learning

“Homework” might not be one of the most welcomed words in a student’s vocabulary, but it’s a necessity of their learning process. Homework helps reinforce material and skills that are taught in class, introduce material for future lessons and teach students how to apply learned skills to new or multiple subjects.

La Paloma Central is Joining the Kindness Corridor!

On November 6th & 7th, volunteers will create a 10 ft. x 10 ft. mosaic tile mural on campus.

The Kindness Corridor is a network of tile and mirror public art projects that symbolize community connection and the commitment to practicing kindness. Throughout Tucson, artists, students and community members have collaborated to create beautiful kindness themed murals that celebrate the philosophy of Ben’s Bells. Ben’s Bells was born out of a tragedy in Tucson but now inspires kindness and kindness education nationwide.
