It’s Earth Day!  How did you celebrate Earth Day?  Here at Niles, the teachers taught a lesson across the curriculum about taking care of the planet earth and its environmental problems and issues.  There were classes that made pollution and reforestation posters.  The older children prepared a short skit on proper disposal of waste or garbage at school.

Thank you for the Earth Day idea from the late US Senator Nelson who launched this event in 1970.  Globally, people are benefiting a lot from it.

Science Fair at Niles happened yesterday.  Science Fair participants started registering their projects with smiles and excitement on their faces.  The courtyard was filled with colorful display boards and projects from rooms 2,3,4 and 5 children.  Tables were adorned with souvenir items, giant books on display, and a remarkable array of science materials, from little creatures such as insects to specimen, displays such as rattlesnake skin, sea sponges and bones of animals.  One of the highlights of this science fair was the hands-on table where students were able to view slides under the microscope.  The raffle added more excitement to the participants.  Whenever a ticket was about to be picked, the crowd held their breath as everyone anticipated their ticket numbers to be picked.  The parents took pictures and video while their child presented the experiment.

All the hard work and effort from each LAPMS family, every participant, and the LAPMS team made this science fair event a memorable and educational experience not only for our young children, but the parents as well.

Great participation for all!  Parent involvement at our school is A+.

Art Exhibit is coming! The children started submitting their artwork today.  The courtyard will be filled in with beautifully created and crafted art projects by our young innovators and artists at Niles.

Parents are welcome to view the artwork on Monday, April, 20, 2015 at 3:00 P.M.-4:00 P.M. in the courtyard.

We are proud of our parents and children to be a part of our BIG FAMILY!  LAPMS Niles Family!

Parent turnout for our Science Fair Information Meeting last Friday, March 13, 2015 in the courtyard was exceptional!  The overwhelming attendance demonstrates the incredible support from our parents.  Supportive parents truly set the groundwork for a successful education.

The scientific method was discussed in detail and samples of the experimental projects were displayed for the parents to view.  Science Fair packets, which include important information and experiment guidelines, project ideas, as well as details on the format of the project itself, were distributed and discussed.

Parents, students and teachers are excited about beginning a journey towards discovery!  We can’t wait to view finished projects and discuss scientific experiences and findings as well as delve into any unanswered questions.  Our Scienc Fair Day will be on Thursday, March 26th at 9:30 A.M.-11:30 A.M. in the courtyard where participants will present their projects to parents and children.

Thank you to all our parents for helping us achieve our goal towards academic excellence!
