From this…to this! What a captivating view of all your hard work! Our CalCreative 8th Grade Artists have conceptualized, designed and created their legacy mural with the theme Interconnectedness, one of our core values. Please stop by and take a look!

CalCreative 6th & 7th Grade Scientists worked with our 8th Grade to study exothermic and endothermic reactions. They learned here that some explosions cannot be contained. 😬 All messed have been cleaned up by students and adults. Hardly noticeable.

Looking Good, 8th Graders! Our 8th Grade Artists working hard on their legacy mural with a theme of Interconnectedness.

Third Grade Artists in Ms. Perez and Mr. Mullen’s classes made Earth Art with Ms Karolina, Ms Nalani, and Mr. Matt from the Garden Team/CCAC! Earth art is made using natural landscapes and materials to create site specific and often ephemeral works. Students learned about other earth artists such as Robert Smithson, Ana Mendieta, and Andy Goldsworthy. Then they all went to The Chill Zone to make their own temporary earth art works using native plants and materials and letting their imaginations guide them either individually or in groups.

We’re making progress! Parents, please take a look at the 8th grade legacy mural whenever you come by!

Dr. Chaldaris’ 6th/7th graders are using protractors today, and tomorrow morning will go through some exploration to discover opposites and adjacent angles and the measure of 180 degrees for a line and 360 degrees for a circle, and more!

Our CalCreative 5th graders just returned from an unforgettable 3 days and 2 nights at Pali Institute! From archery and team-building challenges to nonstop Gaga Ball, this trip was filled with laughter, growth, and connection. 🌲🏹
More than just outdoor fun, this experience was about building independence, stepping outside of comfort zones, and strengthening friendships. It was truly a special time for students to bond and create lasting memories together.
A perfect “last hurrah” before they head off to middle school—we’re so proud of the confidence, courage, and community they showed every step of the way.

Grateful for the PTSA and all of the families who made this week special!! Thank you!!!! ❤️theptsa
