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.
THE Event is a popular fundraiser that takes place outdoors at the Calabasas Civic Center. The party features a silent auction, a live auction, live entertainment, and food and beverage tastings from local restaurants, brewers, and wineries. The atmosphere is light and fun under the California evening sun, and then the stars.
Please see "read more" for slide deck to our information session with Principal Logan and the dual program teachers. We report on the progress of the LVUSD Dual Language Task Force and discussed goals and changes at Sumac.

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.
January is generally a month for goals, for future thinking, and for a chance to reset after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We are very grateful to model and facilitate goal setting in the classroom for each child we are honored to work with every day.
