Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Elisaldez Room 23
My name is Ken Elisaldez, and I teach Math here at Hutchinson. I have been teaching 22 years. In addition to middle school, I taught adult school, high school, and elementary school. I am honored to have been our district’s teacher of the year.
My wife is a kindergarten teacher in Montebello. I have four children, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. My youngest son graduated from UCLA and works for the Dodgers. My daughter starts college at the University of Santa Barbara this month.
My hobbies are spending time with my family and dog, attending UCLA events, and watching the Dodgers, Lakers, and Rams.
I love teaching, and I love being a Hutchinson Hawk!

Club Beautify
ASB is working to beautify our school. Our first plan is to plants succulents near the 200 portables and create a garden in the cement blocks in between the 20 and 30 wings.
We have three requests:
- If you have any suggestions to beautify our school, feel free to reach out to Hutchinson ASB.
- If you have any old gardening tools that you no longer need, our Community Committee would love to use them to plant and water. We are looking for shovels, watering cans, soil, pots, plant seeds, and much more. Please deliver them to the school office.
- If you would like to donate plants, herbs, or flowers to our school, our project begins on September 7.
THANK you so much in advance for all your support! We hope to make small changes to improve our school community🙂

PTSA Membership Drive
Hello Parents,
As you know, PTA is working hard to make it a great year and get our memberships to an ALL TIME level. We need your help.
