Over four Saturdays—October 18, October 25, November 1, and November 8—students will explore grade-level STEM topics through research, experiments, and engaging activities that support classroom learning.

For returning students, the program increases academic challenge with a focus on public speaking, model building, and research—helping students grow academically, socially, and intellectually.

Gently Used Uniforms Needed

Has your child outgrown their school uniform from last year? The Loma Verde Health Office needs donations of clean uniform clothes to have on hand for children who need to change clothes. If you have any clean children’s uniform shirts, shorts, pants, or skirts that you no longer need, please bring them to the health office.
