  NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2026 Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is observed on April 24th each year. It's a day when people remember and honor the Armenian people who suffered and died during a very sad time in history that began in 1915. Over 100 years ago, many Armenian families were forced to leave their homes, and more than a million people lost their lives. This happened in what is now the country of Turkey. On this day, Armenian communities around the world come together to: Remember those who were lost Share stories about their ancestors and keep their memory alive Celebrate Armenian culture, traditions, and resilience Learn from history so we can work toward a kinder, more peaceful world Many people light candles, attend memorial services, or visit monuments to show respect and remember. It's a solemn day, but it's also about hope—hope that by remembering the past, we can build a future where all people are treated with dignity and respect.

What an amazing achievement! The two teams will dance it out at the Conga Kids Grande Finale Celebration Finals on May 7th at LA LIVE. We are so proud of you- keep shining and dancing!

Dear Community Families, What a full and vibrant month March was! Between Parent Conferences, Grandparents Day, the Math Kangaroo competition, the Spring Dance, and Open House, it truly was nonstop. A heartfelt thank you to all CMCS teachers and staff for graciously welcoming families into your classrooms, staying flexible, and keeping everything running smoothly. And a special thank you to CFF and our parent volunteers for creating such fun, meaningful, community-building events—your dedication continues to make our school shine. As we head back to school, I hope everyone had the chance to rest and recharge over Spring Break. Parents, I hope the break offered moments of connection and joy with your children. Their energy is inspiring, but even they benefit from time to relax and reset before the busy weeks ahead. I stayed close to home during the break—enjoying a relaxing massage with my sister and keeping up with my Pilates classes (still going strong!). I also took care of a few of ...

  Click here to view special photos from this year's Grandparents Day Dear Community Families, Grandparents Day was once again a tremendous success, with approximately 200 grandparents joining us on campus to experience a day in the lives of their grandchildren. The joy and excitement could be felt throughout the school as our guests visited classrooms, met teachers and staff, and shared a special lunch with their loved ones. Our grandparents were gracious, enthusiastic, and deeply appreciative of the opportunity to be part of our school day. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our teachers for warmly welcoming them into their classrooms and to our amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this event such a memorable and meaningful celebration of family and community. In that same spirit of appreciation, I would also like to recognize another group of dedicated members of our school community—our incredible bus drivers. Their work is truly remarkable and often under-recognize...

  Celebrating Black History in the Big Easy! Our 5th grade classes created these colorful quilts for the Black History Celebration! We were thoroughly entertained by The Don Brown Collective, who gave us a vibrant taste of the NOLA jazz scene! Dear Community Families, What a wonderful week of Black History celebrations!

Next, our kindergarteners explored the theme of heroism, sharing their own African American heroes. They performed “The Greatest Love of All,” made famous by Whitney Houston, reminding us that power and greatness li...
