In June, Kindergarteners hosted a bake sale for our neighbors at the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center. Throughout the year, students learned about houselessness and how they can help those experiencing it.
1st grade participated in an assembly led by our Mission District neighbor and performer, Manolo Davila, who shared various folkloric traditions of the African Diaspora from the Caribbean to the U.S. through a beautiful and interactive program that involved drums and percussion instruments from around the world
As part of their Writers Workshop, 2nd graders supported one another in a special cross-class celebration, reading their newly published "small moments" stories and toasting their accomplishments afterwards with some delicious sparkling cider.
In 3rd grade, students learned about the Chinese immigration experience in San Francisco, and what many endured during their journeys and once they arrived. The class visited Angel Island and Chinatown, researched the Chinese Exclusion Act, and reflected on their own family histories of immigration
4th grade went to the California Academy of Sciences where they took in the beautiful wildlife exhibits and the aquarium and worked in the lab with some of the biologists on staff.
On their first middle school overnight, 5th graders hiked, played on the beach, and ate every meal together outside. Throughout the trip, each student performed their Joyful Noise poems with their own choreography and staging.
From the eerie lighting to the tension on stage, the 6th grade brought the house down with their early human ritual performances in Drama class.
7th graders answered the question, “How am I a mathematician?” by investigating how math is everywhere and looked inward to identify how math is involved in their everyday lives
On their trip to Savannah, Georgia, 8th graders continued to learn about the history of Black land ownership in the South through the experience of the Gullah Geechee people.
THANK YOU! The generous support from our community to the 22-23 Annual Fund impacted every student in every grade. We hope you will join us this year!
