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.
Will you share your culture at LPA Meet Yourself on November 29?
There are hundreds of statistics to reinforce the value of developing good reading habits at an early age. While every parent has probably heard the dire warnings, the development of reading skills is so important, it bears repeating again and again. Good readers have brighter futures than poor readers, and the die is cast as early as fourth grade. Children who are not reading at a proficient level by the fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
Beginning in the second quarter, students in the 2nd and 3rd grades can sign up for tuition-free musicianship classes. If your child is interested in music, this class will teach the fundamentals and prepare them to begin playing a musical instrument.
Join us on September 21, 6-7:30 p.m.! Please bring a dish to share with others. Contribute a dish from your country, or a dish you absolutely love. Please tell us if there’s anything in your dish (peanuts, dairy, etc.) that might affect allergies.
Celebrate the diversity that makes La Paloma Central such an amazing place!
