Thanks to Beth Granger, an OK parent, for submitting and receiving a grant from the City of Encinitas and Mizel Family Foundation. This grant will allow our first through sixth grade students to participate in on Valise project offered by the Lux Art Institute. This program will take place from OctoberDecember. Way to go OK! OK is thrilled to continue the partnership with UCSD for this school year. With the help of a National Science Foundation grant, UCSD graduate students will share their knowledge and expertise with 3rd-6th grade students via creative hand-on science lessons. This grant also allows UCSD to provide teachers with supplies to enhance their teaching of science, such as microscopes, video cameras, and even help with funding field trips. It is time again for the PTA Reflections Program! This year’s theme is ”Diversity Means…” This is an awesome opportunity for students to show their talents in the areas of dance choreography, photography, film production, musical composition, literature, and visual arts. All entries must be submitted no later Friday, November 4. This is a great fall break project for ALL students! It would be great to have many more entries submitted this year! Thanks to the PTA for supporting this program and awarding a cash prize to the top three winners. Sincerely, Angelica Lopez Message from Ocean Knoll PTA: CALLING ALL PARENTS!
