Spirit Day

The student council is encouraging all students to wear a festive Holiday hat on Friday, December 1.  


Diversity Tree

The fourth grade students asked me if they could decorate the tree by the Gazebo for the Holidays.  I thought it was a great idea as long as we represented all the world religions.  The students decided to name it the "Diversity Tree" with an invitation for every family to add a decorative element representing cultural diversity (no glass, please).

Tonight!                                    

Join Supervisor Das Williams tonight for an open house on the Montecito Flood Control Master Plan. What the last five years have taught us is that there is a lot we must do to increase the safety of our watershed. The Flood Control Master Plan will guide the design, planning, and construction of improvements that will reduce the likelihood and severity of flooding and debris flows. This open house is a great opportunity to learn more about the effort and relay your feedback and experiences to our team. You can also sign up to receive updates regarding the Montecito Flood Control Master Plan here.


Breakfast and Lunch Menu

Much gratitude to our dedicated Kitchen staff who insert lots of love and care into the meals they serve our children.
