The club meets on Wednesdays from 1:00-2:00 via Zoom (link in GC). We're going to limit it to just middle school students. This is a chance to connect with all middle schoolers (LosAl@Home, McAuliffe, and Oak!) This club puts a smile on faces, encourages students to talk to each other, and allows students to meet new people. Thanks for your continued support!

Solar Power Project Plans
Los Alamitos Unified School District is holding a series of virtual outreach meetings to solicit public comment on plans to install solar electricity panels at nine campuses and the District Office. The District has entered into a 30-year power purchasing agreement with PFMG Solar to buy electricity at a fixed rate, which is estimated to save the District approximately $16 million over the life of the contract. Solar panels will be installed on campuses providing shaded parking spots and sheltered areas for students to gather. Construction is set to begin in 2021 and be completed the following year.
The virtual meetings will include a presentation of the proposed locations for the structures and community members will have an opportunity to submit questions or comments about the plans. The link to the virtual meetings can be found at www.losal.org/solar2021.
Here is the meeting schedule:
