Picture Yourself at CPMA
Thank You from PYAC 2025
Thank you so much to all the students, teachers, and staff for helping us put on our first Picture Yourself at CPMA (CPMA) Day this past Monday.
Together, CPMA hosted over 300 elementary students from Sequoia, Hawthorne, Whitman, Lafayette, and Oak Park elementary schools. The event’s goal was to show what it’s like to be a CPMA Artist for a day and to encourage more of our visitors to become Future CPMA Students.
During the day, visiting students got a chance to see art and hear jazz in the library, watch a dance and choir show in the black box theatre, and experience a rehearsal of our amazing Alice in Wonderland musical.
Also, a big thank you to our students in ASB and YLP who helped as student ambassadors; they did an excellent job leading groups and helping our visitors navigate the campus.
Next year, we look forward to PYAC 2026!

Our school garden is under way!
The 6th graders have designed a charming row of cactus and succulent pots along our shed, adding a touch of greenery to our space.
Meanwhile, the 7th graders have transformed two of our raised beds into stunning rock and plant masterpieces, using large cacti and succulents.
Thanks to our newly funded DonorsChoose project, we now have the supplies needed to bring our vision to life. Soon, our 6th and 7th-grade science students will begin planting a crop of mixed greens, ensuring we wrap up the year with fresh, homegrown salads!
Thank you Mr. Newman!!!
