SEEKING PICTURES OF VETERANS IN YOUR FAMILY
Veterans Day Assembly
We will once again hold a special assembly to commemorate Veterans Day on November 7th. During the assembly, we'd like to show a film with pictures of US Armed Forces veterans in our school families. Please email scanned pictures of veterans in your family (in uniform if possible) to emgoetchius@gmail.com and we will include them in our slide show. In the body of the email please state the name of the veteran (first and last), rank (if you know it) and relationship to student and student’s name. Please do not include any other detailed information. We have received amazing photos so far and we want to be sure to include everyone. The cut off date for pictures is October 24, so please get them in as soon as possible.
Family Movie Night - Oct. 24th 5:30-8:30pm at West Hollywood Elementary
Bring your own jackets, blankets, and chairs to watch "The Lego" Movie.
Movie will be projected on a Giant outdoor inflatable screen.
Food trucks PLUS pop corn sales, and other treats will be sold by 4th and 5th grades to help pay for their trips.
SPIRIT Wear and canned food drive for L.A. Food Bank will also be there.
Discounted Parking is available at Montrose & The London Hotel
Hope to see you there! It will be a fun evening!
Common Core
We had a presentation on Common Core by our coordinator, Ms. Cram, at our Monday parent meeting. Here are some tutorials and reference sites that can help you understand the new methodologies being used in classes. You will find examples of the actual lessons that your students bring home:
