Wednesdays are for Wellness! Every Wednesday, students are invited to visit our STEAM Cart at recess time for hands-on activities that support creativity, problem-solving, and emotional wellness. Each activity aligns directly with the Character Counts pillar of the month — Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship — helping students practice positive character traits through fun, engaging activities. These activities take place either outside at the STEAM Cart or if you don't see us outside - inside the Wellness Center!
Malibu Library - Did you know that at our local library they don't just have books to check out, but also Tools and Music Instruments? Maybe your child is interested in a musical instrument, but you're unsure about buying one before knowing if they are really going to stick with it - you can check one out from the Malibu Branch! You will need to sign up for a library card before you can check out the item and some items may need to be requested in advance. What a great service!
