First Annual PVPUSD Handball Tournament Begins at Soleado!
At the beginning of May, students in 3-5th grade learned the basics of every kids favorite school yard game —Handball. Each class had an opportunity to practice before their individual class tournament. Class tournaments consisted of a double elimination format with the top 4 in each class advancing to the final round. During the final stage of class tournaments, the top two students advanced on to the final grade tournament.
Josh L. (Left) takes on eventual champion Kevin Y. (Right) in the 5th grade boys final.
Each grade tournament consisted of a quadruple elimination tournament with the best boy and girl advancing on to the district wide tournament held Monday May 19th at Silver Spur Elementary.
Getting to see the tournaments first hand I must say... WOW! The skill and competition of which the students play at is pretty amazing for such a young age. -Coach K.
3rd Grade Winners: Sophie M., Nicholas C.
4th Grade Winners: Grace H.. Alex L.
5th Grade Winners: Jessica H., Kevin Y.

District Wide Funding Meetings The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is the new mechanism for funding public education in California. Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) is required to develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) under this new funding mechanism. As required by Education Code 52060, the PVPUSD 2014-15 LCAP has been developed with the consultation of teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, employee bargaining units, parents/guardians, and students. The Board of Education will review the LCAP on May 22 and June 12, 2014 at the regularly scheduled board meeting. During these meetings the public will have an opportunity to submit written comments regarding the specific actions and expenditures proposed to be included in the LCAP. As required by Ed. Code, the purpose of this message is to serve as notification to the public of the opportunity to submit written comments on the proposed LCAP.
The Governing Board of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District will hold a public hearing on the Local Control and Accountability Plan at the Malaga Cove Administration Center on May 22, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. and on June 12, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend this meeting. The proposed LCAP will be on file and available for public inspection on the District website http://pvpusd.k12.ca.us/index.php/community/lcap_information/ should members of the public wish to review the LCAP prior to the public hearing. return  to top

A big thank you to Heidi Sublette for organizing a great Green Ribbon Week! Trees were planted, items were donated and most of all we had a great Farmers Market with the harvesting help of Mrs. Erickson (below) and Linh Tu.
|
Mrs. Burson's class and other first graders also helped with selling car to car. At the farmers market stand, we had help from Mrs. Ellis' 5th graders as the cashiers.| Together we sold nearly $150 worth of organic produce! |
Above right, students help water and sell produce. Lower left, first graders from Mrs. Burson's class plant pumpkin seeds!
Thank you to the parents who purchased produce from our Soleado Farmer's Market, these funds keep our garden program growing! There will be a final harvest in a few weeks with some more yummy vegetables including tomatoes! The first graders in Ms. Rogers' class planted a Three Sisters garden which included corn, squash and beans and learned a history lesson about how Native Americans were able to keep these Three Sisters as a consistent food source. The first graders also planted pumpkin seeds and Ms. Fields' class planted corn... so we will all be returning to a fall garden with some really colorful produce.
Heidi Sublette is looking for parents who would like to volunteer their time in the garden with students in the new school year this coming fall. Contact Heidi at hsublette@gmail.com Many thanks to Ms. Rhonda for all you do! For those who have not seen, there is a special garden out front dedicated to our wonderful office manager Rhonda!  Ms. Rhonda...always helping us bloom and grow A huge THANK YOU to Jeannie Hahn for organizing such a wonderful evening with our talented Soleado Suns! Your time and dedication to putting together a fun show was greatly appreciated by all.
Additional thanks to Daniel Carranza for his time providing the great tunes and sound for the variety of acts - as well as the many parents and a pre-teen who helped wrangle the acts, run the curtains and set up the mics.
Most importantly - the kids all had a lot of fun!  This is the selfee that the MC took during the Variety Show. It was part of the skit. Pictured are Young Seo K., Marissa H., Weston B.
