Distinguished School Award UPDATE
While most of us were enjoying the singing and dancing of our children at the awesome Variety Show on June 5, our wonderful Principal was in Anaheim receiving our Distinguished School award. Here is a picture of Nancy Bloom accepting our award along with OUSD Superintendent Tony Smith, as well as Maggie Rogers and Josie Levi, 2 of the parents who were instrumental in driving our successful application to completion. Also, here is a letter from US Senator Barbara Boxer congratulating our school for this award.
