PTA enjoy the classroom, family and local businesses

As strong communities are those with great participation, then Northpark Elementary, part of the Saugus School district has truly made community participation priority #1!

The Parent Teacher Association P.T.A. has energized the students, parents and local businesses by succesffuly combining fundraising efforts and family fun!

The PTA provides music, art and cultural events during assemblies, in the classroom and at a monthly family night held on campus. In addition to movie nights, the PTA hosts cultural performances like Celtic Spring.

Celtic Spring. A burst of energy. Driving music. Riveting dancing. Celtic Spring is six siblings who play the fiddle and step-dance, backed by their mom on the keyboard and their dad on percussion. Visit them at celticspringband.com

In addition, through co-op fundraisers the P.T.A. showcases local restaurants and shops during a monthly family night out. These evenings give families the opportunity to enjoy an evening out while helping raise money for the school.

Check into the Northpark P.T.A. website to participate, or for ideas on how to enhance your own P.T.A.: http://www.northparkpta.net/

Holiday Festival - Manhattan Beach, CA

Holiday Lights and Spectacular fireworks! Thank you to the community of Manhattan Beach for such a great evening out! The Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks Festival is held at the Pier every year in December. This year they had the Skechers Snow Park which was set to a wonderful backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and a Decadent sunset.

From a penthouse patio we stood awe-struck under the full glory of magestic fireworks! By the light of the display we could see the white-cresting waves, other onlookers with their neon light glow sticks and a sail boat. Ah! Winter by the Beach.

We attended a Holiday Party hosted by the Panache Team http://www.panachetech.com/
With our gracious host we shared some cheer from Vino 100! Visit http://www.vino100valencia.com/

Literacy and Arts Festival Santa Clarita, CA

A great day out! On the brisk afternoon we travelled out to Newhall, CA visited the windows on Main Street, amply decorated in their holiday best. Troop 705 is shown! Great Job to all the kids who participated in this years decorating.

Then it was on our way to Hart Park! I was surprised we found just great parking - right across the street from the park. We then meandered down to the Veterans Memorial Plaza. Be sure to visit the tranquil fountains, memorial plaques and flags. Quick snaps with the statue and we lept across the street!



HART PARK
We were welcomed by staff that gave us quick lay of the land. To our right snow and crafts, to our ... SNOW???!!! We made a bee-line and had an impromptu snow ball fight. -- not in a "Christmas Story" kind of way - but more of a scoop/toss , now your turn way! :-) --



After working up an appetite we headed over to the Town Grind for salad and soup. Yummy! Check them out on Lyons or online at http://www.towngrindcafe.com/



Then we headed over for story time. I love storytime! We heard many authors, but the winner of our BEST AFTERNOON STORY TELLER .... Barbara Jean Hicks with The Secret Life of Walter Kitty!
