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.

Dear Parents,

We know you have options when it comes to your child’s education, and I want to thank you for partnering with us. We truly value our students and parents and believe that all children have the ability to be successful both in and outside our school.

Giving our teachers a pat on the back

If you ask your child what makes him or her successful at our school, he or she will probably tell you about our excellent teachers. What students take away from a successful education usually centers around a strong connection with teachers who inspire them to achieve their dreams.

Getting ready for the new school year

I don’t know about you, but I am already a little tired of seeing and hearing the back-to-school hype on TV and the radio. It’s true that school resumes at La Paloma Academy on Thursday, July 31st, so it is time to start getting geared up for your children to resume their educations.

It’s my belief that a key to preparations for starting a new school year should be getting your children organized prior to the start of school. I know that the teachers and staff at La Paloma Academy are in the midst of getting organized, as well for the start of the new school year.
