 Meet the Masters
Today at the Meet the Masters Art Assembly, students learned about the artist Rosa Bonheur. Rosa Bonheur was an unusually brave and artistically gifted artist for her time. Living in France, she loved animals and realistically captured the very essence of many species of animals. Your student artist will create their own realistic animals emphasizing texture, symmetry, and color.

 'BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THIS WORLD'
Are you interested in making the most of your child(ren)'s elementary school experience? Do you want to make more of an impact on their education? Is there a spark inside of you to want to get involved? Nominations are currently open for positions on LFE's 2012-13 PTO Board and it just might be the change you want to see happen.
Nominations for any board position are done through self-nomination or being nominated by another individual. Currently, we are looking for individuals interested in serving as VP of Communications, VP of Fundraising, and VP of Volunteers. All positions come 'with training' and a supportive team. The pay is zero but the benefits are amazing!
If you are interested in nominating yourself or another individual, please contact Julie O'Hare and Jennifer Boynton at evp@lakeforestelementaryschool.com. They would be happy to answer any questions or clarify job responsibilities.
 We Need Your Help!!!

If you can help, please contact Christy Ortiz (fundraising@lakeforestelementaryschool.com), our Carnival Chairperson.
 Got eWaste???
La Madera will be sponsoring a community eWaste Recycling event on Saturday, February 11th, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. in the La Madera parking lot.
