Happy 100th Day of School!
Dear La Ballona Community,
Tomorrow is our 100th Day of school! What a year it has been for us all. Here are a few reminders for us all about various topics.
- If you are struggling with daily child care, STAR is running at full capacity and there are still openings in our STAR after school care program. Children receive free after school care Monday- Friday. Please email cynthiap@starinc.org if you are interested.
- Please check your child's backpack daily. There are important notices for families to review. Also, it provides you with a good pulse of what's happening in your child's school life.
- Please remind your children that they should not bring any toys to school. This includes game cards such as Pokemon.
- Please remember that our children learn healthy food habits very young. We want our children to learn that food is fuel to furnish our bodies with nutrients. Bringing junk food is against our policy.
- Be sure you email rosyreyes@ccusd.org to provide the reason for any absence. Emails are preferred, but you may also call.
- Be sure to ask your child about Monday's Lunar New Year Assembly. Thank you to the PTA for bringing this to our students.
- Below is last Wednesday's student assembly
Stay PAWSitive!

Lions' Pride Run (Jogathon) - NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The Lions Pride Run, our biggest fundraiser of the year, is starting now and we need all the help we can get. Students are lacing up their shoes in preparation and we need parent support as soon as possible. Please contact Rocio Alvarez - webadmin@laballonapta.org if you can help organize this amazing fundraiser. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year.
ANNUAL FUNDRAISING DRIVE (still going strong)
We are currently at $71,000, over half way to our yearly goal of raising $120,000 (approx $300/child)! Fantastic job everyone so far.
For this year's programs and supplies, we're in need of community support. Every donation pushes us closer to our goal; allowing us to create a platform for our students to access educational opportunities, tools and experiences the school might not otherwise be able to afford.
Ways to donate and help out:
Go to bit.ly/laballona and donate what you can!
By check, make payable to "La Ballona PTA" and return in an envelope to your classroom teacher.
Share this flyer with your friends, family, and local businesses!
