La Crescenta Elementary by michelle.r.palmer

Message from Dr. Bixler

This year, learning has been an adventure! I hope you enjoy looking back at all the exciting moments we had throughout the year with a great sense of Bulldog pride. A special thanks goes to everyone who has taken photographs to help us document this year and to Jennifer Koochof, who has been the artist behind our last four yearbooks. We thank you for your hard work and countless hours you volunteered to give us this special gift at the end of each year.

Looking back, we had some wonderful events such as the Fall Festival that brought together all of our new families and LCES alumni with food, games, and family fun. Thank you Foundation for planning an event that we will never forget. Our students all became astronomers as they gathered on the playground to experience a partial solar eclipse. Also, PTA put together an eclectic group of presenters for students to learn and ask questions about different jobs during Career Day. Most importantly, as a school community we celebrated the achievements of students through our Growth Mindset Recognitions, grade level competitions, and PAWS rewards. Our teachers work hard to create a classroom that students want to be in and I am grateful for all the seen and unseen actions they take to make school a great place for students.

This year also comes with the retirement of three unforgettable teachers: Diane Lapostol, Suzanne Savage and Teresa Williams. For many years they have been an essential part of our school community. They have touched the lives of so many students, families, and staff members. We are forever grateful for their dedication and the inspiration they have given to so many of us. We will miss them dearly and wish them only the best on their new adventure.
