We’re celebrating the last day of our Summer Learning Program with a burst of energy and creativity. Our students are diving into physical activities and kicking off the day with personalized crafts that represent them! Each student gets to choose their colors and tell their unique story through their very own “Forky.” We’re so glad we could engage our students all summer long, preparing them for the upcoming school year. Let the fun and creativity flow! 🎨✨ #wearelasbest #summerlearning #summer

Our students collaborate with Los Angeles muralists to conceptualize and paint a school mural. They develop a principal-approved theme, practice sketching, and participate in a reveal. Open to 1st-6th graders, this program runs during spring and summer with principal approval. 🎨 🖌️ #weareLAsBEST
