 Students are invited to participate in a fun art event focusing on kindness at the Palos Verdes Street Fair & Music Festival, occurring June 8th from 10 am to 10 pm and June 9th from 10 am to 9 pm. In collaboration with Art to Grow On Children’s Art Center, Inc., students from schools across the South Bay are being asked to create their own work of art showing their ideas of what it means to “Celebrate Kindness.” The piece will be created on a regular 8.5"x11" piece of paper using any medium they choose. Then, during the Street Fair weekend, we invite the students to bring their artwork to a special booth where it will be displayed to the public. For their participation, each student will be given a small gift of appreciation from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce thanking them for their involvement and community-minded participation. For more information, click here.

On April 27, we had the experience of a lifetime. We had the opportunity to participate in the Los Angeles Math Field Day. But it had not been easy to achieve this opportunity. Here’s how we were able to make it to this event.
In order to qualify for the PV Math Field Day, you must have your grade’s top six scores in the school from a test. The Soleado 4th graders who qualified were Souta Enomoto, Kevin Han, Owen Yeh, Allen Xie, Clare Kobayashi, and Alex Wang. The alternate was Nathan Soeng. The 5th graders who went to the Math Field Day were Yejun Kang, Nathan Wong, Hayoon Chung, Marcus Lee, Kristian Park, and Audrey Chu. The alternate was Ko Akagawa.
At the PV Elementary Math Field Day. The Soleado 4th grade trophy winners were Kevin Han, Souta Enomoto, Allen Xie, and Owen Yeh. The 5th grade trophy winners were Yejun Kang, Nathan Wong, and Hayoon Chung. The trophy winners advanced to take part in several weeks of meetings where students took exams and tests, which decided the top four students who got to be on the PV team that would later participate in the LA County Math Field Day.
The Soleado students that moved on to LA County were Kevin Han, Souta Enomoto, Yejun Kang, Nathan Wong, and Hayoon Chung. At the LA County Math Field Day, both the fourth and fifth grade teams earned a gold medal for Conceptual Understanding. For Problem Solving, fourth grade won gold, and fifth a silver.
