CCUSD to Kick Off Sixth Annual Free
Summer Lunch Program
|
|
Because our kids need to remain healthy, connected, safe and “whole” during the summer months, CCUSD has created a free lunch program complete with a variety of daily activities for students under 18! The program, a first come/first served lunch program, begins June 18 and includes, not only free lunch, but a great line-up of activities, games and more – all for free!
- What: Sixth Annual Free Summer Lunch and More (the “more” is the fun part – with books, board games, special guests, arts and crafts, physical activities, etc.)
- Where: La Ballona Elementary School
- When: Monday – Friday, June 18 – July 27 NOTE: NO PROGRAM ON JULY 4, 2018
- 11 am – 12:30 pm Lunch
- 11:30 am – 1:0 pm Activities
- Who: Anyone under the age of 18 (no forms to fill out)
- Why: It has been proven that some students not only miss out on meaningful growth opportunities in the summer, but actually regress and lose academic, social and behavioral skills. This opportunity to eat a free healthy meal becomes even more impactful with the opportunities for students to learn, play games, connect with peers, connect with caring adults, participate in a summer reading program, and learn new skills.
The site is OPEN to all teens and children, 18 and under, and is FREE of charge. All food must be eaten on-site. Parents are more than welcome to stay and partake in interactive activities while their children eat and play. The site will be open to the public daily at 11 am and closed at 1 pm, at which time all students must clear the school site.
For more information, please call (310) 849-1731.

24
th
Street Theatre Puts the Liveliness
Into Live Theatre
|
|
Does anyone know why we applaud?
That is first question that
24
th
Street Theatre teaching artist Dr. Linda asks CCUSD fifth-graders.
“Live theatre is over 2,500 years old,” she tells them. “It used to be in outdoor amphitheatres with dirt floors and was unsanitary. People would eat in the theatre. They’d also blow their noses, and throw hankies into the air to show excitement for the performance. Applauding to show approval was invented to replace the public tossing of gross hankies.”
That’s just one of many history lessons that Dr. Linda shares during
24
th
Street Theatre’s theatre education program in CCUSD. For three days, every fifth-grader gets immersed in live theatre. Visits to the classrooms by Dr. Linda bookend a field trip to
24
th
Street Theatre. During the field trip, students see how a show is made, and learn a lifetime’s worth of history, production and the craft of live theatre – all in about two hours. They also learn about empathy, race relations, language arts and math.
The professional theater company 24
th
Street Theatre has been offering its
Enter Sta
g
e Right (ESR)
school education program to CCUSD for the past six years. ESR is a wildly fun, sophisticated and action-packed program designed to excite students and get them on the edge of their seats, all while using theatre to teach the California Visual and Performing Arts Standards in math, history and language arts.
From the ancient history to contemporary multimedia production, ESR brings the magic of theatre to life through improvisation techniques, incorporating production components of sets, sound, lights and live music. From the first moments of the show, when students are welcomed to 24
th
Street by the fabulous Jack Black in interactive video segments, to the final multi-layered scene developed by the students themselves, the program immerses students in the full theatre experience from buying a ticket at the box office to the power of the spoken and written word.
As one of CCUSD’s Front and Center Theatre Collaborative’s six arts partners, 24
th
Street Theatre is a leader in theatre for young audiences, consistently influencing the field to be more adventurous, more sophisticated and more provocative. Its productions bring families together.
In that spirit,
24
th
Street Theatre invites all CCUSD families to come and experience the magic of live theatre. It is offering deeply discounted tickets for all CCUSD families to come see its current production,
ICE
. ICE is a bilingual, humorous journey in search of what it means to be “American.”
With a love of baseball, Tia Victoria’s salsa recipe and the help of a talking truck, two cousins work day and night to make their taco truck the “
Uncle Sam
” of mobile restaurants. Will a contest to be “the most American food truck” at Dodger Stadium on the Fourth of July prove to Immigration, Naturalization and Customs that they truly belong? In Spanish & English with supertitles. Appropriate for ages 8+. Show information and tickets available
here
. Use code CCUSD for the discount. Now through June 24.
