Arts and Literacy Festival

October 19, 2024

On Saturday, October 19th, over 100 students, caretakers, and community members came together to celebrate our love of reading and art. We enjoyed hearing two amazing keynote authors speak: Miranda Harmon of Mayor Good Boy fame and Katy Farina, author and illustrator of the amazing Little Sisters Babysitters Club. In addition to the keynote speakers, we had amazing family workshops hosted by not only the authors, but our partners at Eagle Rock Center of the Arts, Los Angeles Public Library, as well as teachers and parents. Food was made available though donations from Kitchen Mouse, Joy on York, Cafe de Leche, and Homestate Tacos. Thank you to our amazing PTA, teachers, and parents who worked to make this such an incredible event!

Thank you LAPL!
