This year Chatsworth Park Elementary, Lawrence Middle School and Chatsworth High School participated in the various field trips LA YMF offered for students. Check out the

Last March 8-10th, the 5th grade went to Wolf Camp located in Simi Valley, CA. This was the 1st time since 2019 that a 5th-grade class got to enjoy this 5th-grade annual tradition. The camp focuses on science, team building, and adventure activities. The kids beamed with excitement as they enjoyed nature, spent quality time together and built lasting memories.

Lots of happy readers at Chatsworth Park Magnet and Urban Planning. Reading week started off with our very own PTA providing a fun-filled assembly with guest authors: Adam T. Newman (Eva the Diva) and Joshua Hauke (Doom’s Day Camp) to entertain our Palominos with their newly released books. Students were given the opportunity to purchase one of their books and personally autographed by the author.

Our fabulous Chatsworth Park staff also hosted “Family Reading Night” where our Palominos dressed in their pajamas, enjoyed books that were read to them by our staff and enjoyed a cup of milk with some cookies. And closing out reading week we saw Palominos “caught reading”.

Chatsworth is a beautiful place to live in my opinion. There are malls around, good places to eat, and a lot of fun things to do in the area. But what about school? Chatsworth high school is always a good option, but some kids prefer a smaller environment. Maybe they focus better in a small environment, just like to be around fewer people or they might be struggling to succeed in school. If so, Aggeler High School might be the option for your child.

Aggeler High School is located at 21050 Plummer st, Chatsworth, CA. It is right next to the historic boys home, Rancho San Antonio. The opportunity school is named after William Tell Aggeler, and the school teaches grades 7-12th. The teachers and administrators are passionate about giving kids the education they need and deserve. There are many outlets for extra support, like tutoring and counseling.

The school meets and exceeds common core academic standards and helps students build the foundation that they need to become contributing members of society. These school hours are from 8:30 to 2:15. This shorter bell schedule allows students to have more time to focus on their mental health and extracurricular activities.

Last March 8th, 4th grade held its Pioneer Day which is a culminating celebration of the California Gold Rush unit! Students became true gold miners with their plaid shirts and cowboy hats as they got hands-on experiences adventuring around town. They got to make homemade butter and hand-squeeze lemonade, roped a burro, panned for gold, made berry-ink, and so much more in the hopes of STRIKING IT RICH!

Hart St. Elementary has a wonderful program called ''Abriendo Puertas", a partnership with the school and parents to help them understand the importance of early care education. These parents went and visited the school library to experience and learn how the library helps their child to succeed through reading.

We invite you to come to our in-person presentation to hear more about our programs at Lawrence Middle School. The coordinator and administrators will be available to answer questions. Please be aware that the late application period opens February 1, 2023 via: https://apply.lausd.net/
