Beginning of the year events

Family Fun Night


It was a family fun filled evening as we welcomed TK- 3rd grade parents for Back to School Night earlier this week. Parents had an opportunity to sit down with their child's teacher in their new classroom and learn more about the wonderful activies and curriculum planned for the upcoming year school year. A warm and big Thank You to Kids Country our onsite daycare who provided free childcare during our teacher presentations. Following our teacher meet and greet was Family Fun Night open to all grades. It was a fantastic evening filled with giggles and play on bounce houses and giant games in the quad. Our LO artists filled the sidewalks with sweet chalk drawings and enjoyed sticky sweet treats from our concessions. Thank you to Menchie's for serving up the best frozen yogurt treats. Families lined up for specials from our food trucks Waffle Rooster and Crazy Empanada's and stoped by our troop tables for fun activities with the Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts. Our LO student body had an opportunity to check out and order the 25-26 spirit wear GO GOLDEN EAGLES, purchase yearbooks or sponsor an adopt-a-book from the libary. Special thank you to Bouncy Bounce, Code Ninja's and all the AMAZING volunteers who came together to kick off what will be a wonderful year at Live Oak!


Special thanks to the school admin, PTA and Ed Fund volunteers for making this a successful evening. Thank you Therese Kathka, Shawn Kathka, Sudha Pandrangi, Madhvi Owen, Tori Dombroski, Prachi Shah, Liela Hareb, Luisa Guaderrama, Jamie Guaderrama, Shipra Butal, Shwetha, Danny Bae, Wendy Sanchez and Lisa Corpus for your time and effort.

Teachers Welcome Lunch and Breakfast


We kicked off the school year with a Techer Taco Tuesday, serving up tacos and side of "positive taco" cards to start the year off right. Thanks to Chamitos for the yummy eats. The staff were also welcomed with a breakfast of fresh bagels, croissants, muffins, fruits and coffee on the 1st day of school.


Special shout out to Jenifer Lui, Luisa Guaderrama and Sindhya Govind for volunteering their time for procuring and setting up the treats.
