Smiles and tears were shared when Grand View students, parents, and teachers brought loads of gifts to families at Heart of Los Angeles. The gifts, which won’t be opened until Christmas, were filled with essentials like clothing, but the kids were encouraged to ask for one “dream gift”. As you can see, some of the dream gifts were too big to wrap!

Our library’s six computers were at the end of their useful life, so the Grand View PTA recently purchase six beautiful new iMacs to replace them. Needless to say, our Librarian, Heidi Snively, was quite happy with the upgrade.

“I am so grateful to have six new iMacs for the student research station,” she said. “The ongoing support by the PTA for the proper materials and hardware to run the library progam is so appreciated. Because our students have a well-loved school library, they have a better chance of growing up to be life-long learners and good digital citizens. The Grand View PTA understands this completely and is the perfect partner in education. The students said it best when they saw the bank of iMacs for the first time–’WOW!’”

Principal Steinberg celebrates our teachers’ and students’ accomplishment with a glass of sparkling cider.

Our school’s API score jumped an amazing 13 points to an unprecedented 970!  To celebrate, the PTA will give an ice cream treat to every student who comes to the upper playground 10/19 after school!
