See you all at our annual Kick Off for the 2018-2019 school year on Sunday, August 19th.
LV Reads is back! #LVReads is a summer reading program for all students from preschool through high school. The program’s main goal is to create confident and capable readers who find JOY in reading. #LVReads has no reports. No tests. No vocabulary lists. Just read!
We love our Health Clerk, Mrs. Chaidez. Recently she was honored for her hard work, dedication, patience, and kindness. She helps keep us all safe and sound. Please join us in honoring our nurses and health clerks.
Congratulations to Julie Birkett, winner of the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce "Teacher of the Year" in LVUSD. Perfect for Staff Appreciation Week! Well-deserved! Thanks to the Chamber members and Senator Henry Stern for this regional recognition.
May 7- May 14 Thank the Sumac educators in your life. See PFA site for details.
Every child made strides today in grit and perseverance. We were so proud of each finisher. We are also so grateful of the outpouring of support, both of time and financial energy, from so many. We were able to make it to just over 60% participation. Way to go Sumac. May the 4th be with you!
Come one, come all to Sumac's greatest show on Earth. Friday, April 27th at 6pm. Tickets cost $5.
What a blast we had as we had the opportunity to have Symphonic Adventures via the Music Van April 2017, sponsored by New West Symphony, visit Sumac. Thank you to grades 3-5 teachers for recruiting parent volunteers to assist students as they tried musical instruments from the symphony. This is a wonderful musical "petting zoo" where it's ok to blow it or bow it.
