The year is full.
Some of these have been running for decades. They are the reason children remember this school, and the reason parents end up knowing each other.
How the year opens.
Back to School Night
Come and hear how your child’s teacher actually runs their classroom: their objectives, their direction, and what they expect this year. If you go to one evening, make it this one.
Halloween Costume Parade and Party
Costumes, make-up and make-believe, with parent volunteers running the parade. Every student gets a participation ribbon, trick-or-treat safety is covered, and the day ends with a classroom party.
Book Fairs
Three a week-long fairs a year with Scholastic: best sellers, award winners and the classics. The third one is buy one, get one free.
Fundraisers
Run together by the Student Senate and the administration to pay for programs the tuition does not cover. Students sell the items and earn prizes for it.
The big one.
Winter Wonderland
Cartoon and movie characters to have your picture taken with, food truck vendors, a cake walk, face painting, bouncy houses and a silent auction. The music recorded at Family Fun Night is played here.
Winter Family Fun Night
Music is still alive at this school. Every class performs during December for families and friends, and the performances are recorded to be enjoyed again at Winter Wonderland.
Classroom parties
Thanksgiving, the winter holidays and the New Year, Valentine’s Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, the spring holiday and more. Gift exchanges, appreciation, and learning to think about other people.
Outside, mostly.
Grandparent’s Day
Students invite their grandparents for a visit and lunch on the front lawn, with entertainment and refreshments.
Beyond the Bell campout
A tradition second to none. Elementary students and their parent chaperones spend the evening together from 6:00 p.m., with a catered meal, a theatrical performance and a carnival with food, games and prizes.
Science Fair
Riverside County sponsors it. Students build investigative and experimental projects, display them at school, and the winners are entered into the Inland Empire Science and Engineering Fair.
Jump Rope for Heart
For the last twenty years our students have jumped rope continuously for three hours with the American Heart Association, raising money for heart research.
Annual Spelling Bee
Run by the teachers, open from Kindergarten up.
Open House
New and interested families are welcome to walk the classrooms in May. The whole school puts its best out on display.
Student-Teacher Kickball
Batter up. Teachers against students, at the school’s favorite sport.
Golf Tournament
Our largest and most successful fundraiser: an afternoon of scramble golf, then an auction and awards reception, with celebrities and golf pros taking part. We hope to bring it back in 2027.
How it closes.
End of Year Water Splash and Picnic
Water splash, bouncy houses, hot dogs, pizza, drinks, sno-cones and prizes, for students and parents both.
Promotion exercises
Fifth graders are promoted on to middle school. Kindergarten-Prep and Kindergarten have their own ceremony of advancement. Family, friends and the community are invited to the last activity of the year.
Awards assemblies
Students are honored through the year for academic and social achievement. At the end of the year every student is recognized for what they accomplished.
