FRIDAY FLAG
PUBERTY VIDEOS ― GRADES 4 and 5 Next week for PE, a video on puberty is scheduled for students in grades 4 and 5. It is our intention to move these lessons to fourth grade from fifth grade (as shared at a coffee at the start of the year). Therefore, this year, both year groups will watch the videos. There will also be a live Meet session on Friday (emailed to your child) where anonymous questions will be answered. Grade 5 will Meet at 8:30am and grade 4 at 9:30am. The live sessions are completely voluntary.
POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY April 30th is Poem in Your Pocket Day! We encourage all students to write down a poem to share and keep it in their pocket on this day!
APPRECIATIONS Thank you LJA parent, Kalani Rodriquez (aka Raquel's dad) for lightening up Oahu's skies in appreciation for first responders and essential workers! Read more here. We also want to join in appreciating all of our families who are in the medical field and working endless hours during this time. Thank you!
WORM FOOD Thank you to those who have been dropping off vegetable scraps for our worms. Every day there is a bucket by the main office where fruit and vegetable scraps can be left until noon each day.
MEDIA CENTER While we've been away, the media floor has been replaced. Click here to see some progress!
