CWCSL Town Hall Meeting--February 12, 2013 @ 5:00-6:30
Please join us for our second town hall at the Assistance League. We will be discussing ways that families can engage/volunteer at CWC as well as portions of our regional discipline policy and family handbook. We will also have a good amount of time for questions and answers. Stay after to join in a fun, family potluck celebration--it is Mardi Gras after all!
Limited childcare will be provided. Please contact Jen Lim at 323-668-1553 to reserve a childcare spot.
Ms. V's Class Valentine's Day Party
We're having a Valentine's Day party on 2/14. The kids will make a box to collect valentines and exchange cards. Please have your kids make 22 valentines (plus teachers and, at your discretion, any staff, such as PE, administration, art). As a reminder, we are a no candy/sugar treats school. A list of names of the children will be included in this week's homework folder.
Laura, Roman's mom, is coordinating the party. Her email is: romanuroza@gmail.com If you would like to help or have ideas.
