February is Black History Month, which recognizes the many, often overlooked, contributions African Americans have made to America’s history. The evolution of Black History Month has an interesting history of its own, and dates back to the end of the Civil War.
La Paloma Central’s Daddy-Daughter Dance will be on Friday, March 8, 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event, which has a Mardi Gras theme, features a dinner, dancing, and memories galore for female students and the significant male in their lives.
Many kids spend the third Monday of February sleeping in late and enjoying a day off from school. With an extended weekend in their future, it’s a perfect time to explain to your children the full—and slightly complicated—history of Presidents Day.
From February 11-15, La Paloma’s Central campus will be celebrating literacy and letting students proclaim their school spirit, all in the same week.
Join us in the Central cafeteria on February 12, 6:00-7:30 p.m., for a celebration of reading.
Attention all grandparents! Come to our “Wild West Breakfast,” Wednesday, February 20, 9-11 a.m.
Everyone knows what it’s like to go to work when we’re tired or not feeling well. The day is long, we don’t do as good a job as we usually do, and we’re sluggish and unenthusiastic. If that’s how it is for adults, think of how long and difficult the school day must be for children who aren’t feeling as well as they could be feeling.
Ask most kids, “When does one year end and another begin?” and they’ll probably tell you that the year begins in July or August, ends in May, with a chunk of summer between the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
Santa will make a stop at the Central campus on December 12, 6:00-7:30 p.m.
La Paloma is home to students and families with cultural backgrounds from around the world.
There are several holidays that kids love. They love the parades and fireworks on the Fourth of July; they love the decorations and excitement surrounding the end-of-year holidays; they may even love all the good food and getting together with friends and family at Thanksgiving. There is, however, no holiday more kid-centric than Halloween. Oh sure, many non-kids like to get in on the Halloween action, but they are interlopers…intruders.
