I am happy to tell you that 186th Street School won a national award at the Peace Games National Conference in Boston, MA held June 30th - July 2nd.  The award was given to us for our parent and community involvement.  In the award presentation, they spoke fondly of the Toyota partnerships, the Toyota engineers teaching our students, the Peace March, the Hahn Peace Task Force, and our positive relationships with community leaders.  One big reason we received the award was our thinking out of the box to open the playground during the spring vacation. We were able to take two teachers, our Peace Games Coordinator, and the Healthy Start Coordinator to the conference.  186th Street was well represented on the East Coast and you would have been so proud.

We are well on our way to being an official California Distinguished School.  We extend our heartfelt thanks to our staff and community for their valuable contributions in helping us promote a peaceful school with a focus on scholars and leaders.  With your fantastic support, we are building rock solid leadership!

Hoot...Hoot...Hooray!
Mrs. Reed
