 Hello Community Families, I hope you've enjoyed a restful Thanksgiving break and are ready to tackle the last 3 school weeks of 2020!  Tea-Time with Toni Please join me for Tea-Time this Thursday to discuss plans for returning to campus. This will be a meeting, not a webinar, so that I may take questions and concerns. If necessary, I will have a second meeting since the meeting will hold only 300 participants.  I look forward to seeing you there! https://lausd.zoom.us/j/85601860446?pwd=c0RFa0g3dTdOdkliSzBFMW1WMFp4QT09 Meeting ID: 856 0186 0446             Passcode: 152316

  Hello Community Family, The holiday season is upon us and, because of COVID, it will be like none we've experienced before. This year, it will take a bit more effort for me to get into the holiday spirit. The resurgence of the COVID virus will prevent many families from spending time together this Thanksgiving. There will be no Holiday Pageant at Community this year. Any plans we had for a school reopening this semester have been thwarted. So, you know, now may the  perfect time to think about the things in our lives for which we should be grateful.  I am grateful for . . .   . . .  a COVID vaccine on the way! At least we can be hopeful that the reopening of schools is in the foreseeable future. Join me for Tea Time with Toni after Thanksgiving to hear more about that. . . . The Community teachers and staff because they are  really talented, caring, funny, intelligent, and generous people! Recognize one of them during our Staff Spotlight.

Kathryn, especially, was out-of-her-mind excited to put her creative talents to work! Kathryn created the large tombstones for the parade. She has an excellent eye for detail! She also organized and led a steady stream of excited volunteers in getting the work done . . .   Alice worked with Kathryn every step of the way from creating the ghosts, preparing the mural, and setting up the yard. Elizabeth Jaspan, who led our PoM parent committee of many, spent two hot and tireless days on the upper yard setting up. Edith Pensamiento and Fabiola Bermudez set up the most beautiful, colorful Dia de los Muertos display! Parent Velicia Misher made numerous store runs, donated countless items, helped with set up, and then came back immediately  after  the parade to help clean up.   There were SO many volunteers who helpe
