Palisades Elementary Charter School Opens its Online Auction
By Erin
I’ve been in hundreds of classrooms. No matter what grade, across the board from Kindergarten through Grade 12, if you ask any kid what they like about school, you are probably not going to hear Reading, Writing or Arithmetic. Most likely, the child will talk about computer lab, art class, music class, or time spent in their school’s garden…the FUN stuff that integrates their core curriculum into real life experiences, and enriches their education and learning ability. Just like most public charter schools in LAUSD, Palisades Elementary is highly resource constrained. Without fundraiser events like the school’s Online Auction, Palisades Elementary students would not have access to any of the FUN, enriching programs that kids love and remember, and help to prepare them for the changing world. This year, the school’s Auction has more than 800 items. It ends tomorrow, on March 16th, so get your bids in now to support a great cause!! 🙂
