We wrapped up Latinx Heritage Month with a wonderful schoolwide assembly featuring performances by our very own students!
One of the highlights was our Parade of Flags, where our Latinx students, families, and staff proudly carried their countries’ flags, celebrating the rich cultures, traditions, and heritage that make our school community so special.

We’re proud to once again serve as a Springboard Collaborative Flagship School this summer!

Our own Gordon J. Lau teachers are leading classrooms, helping students strengthen their reading skills, reach their individual reading goals, and most importantly, foster a lifelong love of reading.

We also know that families are our students’ first and most important teachers. Through our weekly Family Workshops, caregivers learn practical reading strategies and activities they can use at home to support their child’s literacy journey. Together, we’re building confident readers!

To My Panda Family:

Today, I say goodbye to Gordon J. Lau after 34 incredible years.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to teach, lead, and grow alongside so many amazing students, families, staff, and community members.

To my former students who have reached out over the years, thank you. Your messages, memories, and accomplishments mean more to me than you know.

While I will miss being part of your daily lives, I know Gordon J. Lau will continue to thrive under the leadership of Ms. Lisa Kwong and our wonderful staff.

Once a Panda, always a Panda. 🐼❤️

With love and gratitude,
Ms. Gloria Choy
