Today we kicked off our second school wide reading event of the 2018-19 school year. Our One School, One Book event is off to a terrific start. There is a buzz in the air as our kiddos received their very own copy of The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.
It is time for the 38th Annual Edition of the Open School literary magazine, Open Thoughts, Feelings, and Fantasies!
As always, we plan to have a piece of writing and art from every student in the school in the book. This year we will again have wonderful Cluster photographs by former Open parent Meredith Parmelee.

Recently the Los Angeles Unified Board of Education voted to place Measure EE, a local school funding parcel tax, on the June 4, 2019 special election ballot.
If approved by two-thirds of voters in a special election on June 4, 2019, Measure EE would provide local school funding to support Los Angeles public schools through a 16-cent per square foot parcel tax for 12 years. Seniors citizens and certain low-income property owners with disabilities would be eligible for an exemption from the cost of the measure.
As we head into Spring Break, please take this opportunity to donate to our school to support the wonderful teachers, aides, and programs here at Open. The Annual Giving team is having a Spring Fundraising Drive through the end of April!
