Spotlight on Canoga Park Elementary
Principal Del Pino and Mr. Payne, our KOREH L.A. school coordinator, are behind the scenes of the KOREH L.A. program at Canoga Park Elementary School. Coordinating twenty-one KOREH L.A. volunteers is no easy task and they truly do a fantastic job!
Canoga Park Elementary School's mission is to educate all students to be literate, creative and collaborative thinkers, reach their academic and personal potential, and become lifelong learners and productive citizens in our diverse society. KOREH L.A. helps the students of Canoga Park Elementary School achieve this mission by providing reading mentors to work one-on-one with K-5th graders for one hour every week.
On Tuesday, February 7th Canoga Park Elementary School will host its annual Family Literacy Night. Students and families of all grade levels are invited to participate on campus from 5:00-7:00PM. This special evening features a tour of various activities that students and parents can do together, such as activities that highlight high-frequency words. Canoga Park Elementary School embraces the philosophy that a parent is a child's most important teacher. According to Mr. Payne, the goal of Family Literacy Night is, "to help parents help their children with literacy at home." In addition, Family Literacy Night is a great opportunity for parents to realize the importance of spending quality time with their children.
