What are your hopes and dreams for your child this school year?
As we embark on our 5th year as Locomotives, we are excited to
safely welcome our learners back in-person. Our focus this school
year is to embrace and nurture the innovative, collaborative,
empowered and empathic qualities of our students while
challenging them to think critically and to ask questions through
STEAM Project Based Learning.
On April 10, 2019, our Locomotive community had the honor of
hosting Civil Rights icon Dolores Huerta on her 89th birthday!
Thank you to our amazing COMMUNITY for making this day possible,
and for our students who read powerful poetry and essays.
Thank you to all of our community partners for reading to our
students on Friday, March 1st for Read Across America Day! We
were honored to host Governor Newsom and the First
Partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Our partnership with Sac Theatre Company brings Music and Theatre
to all grades by resident teachers. In addition, STC produces our
annual Spring play.
Our school’s purpose can be narrowed to these beliefs, “We Lead,
We Innovate, We Empower and We Care”. It is through our
focus on caring that we’ve intentionally tried to design a
culture where all learners, families, staff and community members
feel safe, valued and supported. Our school community is
accepting of everyone and we strive to partner with families
and community organizations to continue to provide a safe
place for learning for all. #WeAreLocomotives
I want to take a moment to reflect with you. I am
excited to have the opportunity to partner with you in continuing
our journey in building a STEAM school from the ground up.
