Happy ! This year's theme is "Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility". We are always excited to do our part to ensure that ALL students receive the best public schooling possible!

With the new President-elect comes a lot of uncertainty and apprehension - especially in the beautifully diverse cities of Southern California. However, California also won victories with the approval of all three education-related measures. Today we move forward — and we will continue to empower and strengthen our youth to make the world a better a place.

‘I’m Going to Reassure Them That They Are Safe’: Talking to Students After the Election For many students, the result of the 2016 election will bring fear and uncertainty. Educators can help provide the support they need.

THIS is why STEAM is critical to our children's education today!

"A new study from Michigan State University found that childhood participation in arts and crafts leads to innovation, patents, and increases the odds of starting a business as an adult. The researchers found that people who own businesses or patents received up to eight times more exposure to the arts as children than the general public... If you look at the mavericks of science and technology you will see a pattern of creative outlets being a key to their childhood. Creative activity in childhood rewires your brain to think out-of-the-box according to the researchers."

Childhood Creativity Leads to Innovation in Adulthood Researchers link arts and crafts in childhood to financial success in adulthood.
