STUDENT LIFE
A Creative Network School
Since the 2018-2019 school year Cheremoya has been part of LAUSD's Creative Network. All students TK-6 receive arts integration/instruction in four disciplines during nine or twelve week rotations (music, theater, dance, etc.).
This collaboration with the LAUSD Arts Branch supports Cheremoya's designation as an Arts Pathway School.
When schools reopen, please come visit our rotation of student art in the gallery showcase; located in our main hallway.
THE OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER & GREEN SPACE
A labor of love and joint effort of Cheremoya Foundation, community volunteers and LAUSD. The OLC is an incredible outdoor learning and play space that has to be seen. Dedicated in 2016, the area includes a dry creek bed and a collection of native plants in addition to much needed green space for students to enjoy.
Cheremoya is also home of an EnrichLA edible garden. Student enrichment classes are delivered by a garden ranger thanks to the support of Cheremoya Foundation.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE
Thank you Chaka Jaliwa for his fantastic demonstration and talk on rocket ships and space exploration for all students K-6th.
9 Dots Get Coding
The Cheremoya Foundation has partnered with the 9 Dots organization to provide students weekly coding classes.
Coding simultaneously fosters creativity and complex problem solving skills. In class, students solve increasingly complex challenges—and have fun doing so.
Outside of coding class, teachers have seen the students’ coding experience translate into improved math reasoning and better step-by-step direction comprehension.
The 9 Dots Get Coding program uses computer science to develop critical thinking skills while encouraging a growth mindset.
All Cheremoya students grades K-6 participate.
Physical Education
We’re creating team players and future leaders through team sports. Every Thursday, kids have fun as they learn good sportsmanship, teamwork skills, and the value of physical activity. The Cheremoya Foundation funds the PE program via Got Game Sports. Experienced coaches teach students new games and enjoyable ways to get much needed exercise.
After School:
We know that busy parents need after-school childcare options.
Cheremoya offers after school care until 6:00 p.m.

TUESDAYS
LEGO ENGINEERING: MEGA MACHINES
1:45–2:45 p.m.
10 weeks starting on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022
Think you've got what it takes to be an Egghead Machine Engineer?! Using LEGO™, students will design and build real mega machines like spinning windmills, lifting cranes, elevators, cars, and way more. We'll use wheels, bands, gears, pulleys, and tons of other cool specialty Lego pieces to build our Machines, and then after the building phase is complete we’ll put them to the test. That means we'll try to break 'em, blow them over, and put weight on them. If you pass the test, you pass the challenge!

Eggheads take everything home at the end of each class! All Eggheads will also get their Detective ID card, authorizing them to use real science to solve mysteries. At the end of the session, every Egghead will get their official Egghead Detective Degree – proving they’re ready and licensed to solve any mystery… using science of course!
