Pull up a chair, it’s time to learn together! 📚 Small group time gives students a chance to ask questions, practice their skills and get support from their teacher. Listening, sharing ideas and working through activities together gives students more opportunities to participate and practice at their own pace!

A little teamwork, a lot of brainpower! đź§  Students tackle their activities with teachers to guide them, ask the right questions and cheer them on as they work through challenges. Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh perspective to make the pieces click!

Step right up! 🎪 National School Lunch Week got a circus-worthy makeover as cafeteria teams across Alhambra brought the fun with their Cafeteria Circus decorations. The lunchrooms were decked out in carnival colors, and our cafeteria staff joined in the fun with some fantastic costumes. Huge thanks to the teams who keep our students fueled and bring so much personality to the lunch line!

Learning is even more fun when the whole family gets involved! 🧩 Gifted Family Night brought families together for an evening of engaging presentations, hands-on activities and new ideas for supporting their children’s learning and growth. From exploring activities side by side to discovering ways to encourage learning at home, there was plenty to take away from the evening!

Who says learning only happens in a classroom? Fall Break is a great time to explore something new, follow a question or discover a new interest. There’s a whole world outside the classroom waiting to teach us something.

Enjoy the rest of your break! 🍂

We could’ve used AI to make a Fall Break graphic, but where’s the fun in that? So we went with our original graphic design software: a whiteboard, a marker and a student who knows the assignment.

Fall Break is October 5th - 9th. Schools will be closed on October 12th and will resume regular operations on October 13th. 📄✍️
