Back to school at CDA! 💙📚

It was so good to see our students, families, teachers, and staff back on campus yesterday and to see our school come alive again!

Last year brought so many accomplishments, new experiences, and proud moments for our CDA community, and we’re excited to see what this new school year will bring. New goals, new memories, and so much ahead of us.

Welcome back, Owls! Here’s to an amazing year together! ✨

As summer begins, we’re looking back at a very special milestone for our Class of 2026 🎓💙

To our graduates, thank you for the laughter, friendships, memories, and the unique spirit you brought to our campus. It has been a joy watching you grow from curious young students into confident leaders ready for your next adventure.

While many of us will be back together in the fall, this chapter is just beginning for you. We will miss you, we are proud of you, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things ahead.

Once an Owl, always an Owl. 🦉💛

Our school is celebrating 100 years, and we officially opened our Centennial Garden 🌿✨

With students, families, and staff gathered together, Principal Fang cut the ribbon to mark this special moment in CDA history. One of the most meaningful parts of the celebration was placing a time capsule into the garden, filled with items chosen by our 5th graders for future generations of CDA students to one day discover.

A beautiful way to honor our past, celebrate our present, and plant something for the future 💙

A few highlights from last weekend’s LAUSD STEAM Fest 🚀

CDA joined schools from across the district to celebrate creativity, science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through student artwork, robotics, performances, and hands-on STEM activities.

We loved sharing some of the projects and activities happening in our STEM Lab and seeing our students represented at such a fun and inspiring event 💙🔬✨

Open House highlights 💛

It was so special to see our students excited to share their work and welcome their families into the classroom. The whole campus felt full of connection and pride.

One of those days that reminds us what CDA is all about.

A look at what’s been happening around campus lately 🤍

Our 2nd graders in Ms. Kwon’s class have been spending time in our new garden, planting seeds and learning firsthand how things grow. Getting their hands in the soil, asking questions, and seeing the process up close makes it all stick in a different way 🌱

We also had a visit from Star Science, where students explored the world of reptiles and learned about the world of nature through real, up-close experiences.

It’s always special to see learning come to life like this 🫶

Our garden got a glow-up 🌿

What used to be a quiet corner of campus is now a fresh, green space where our students can learn, explore, and connect with nature. From new beds to growing plants, it’s already becoming something really special.

Big thank you to @enrichlagardens who helped bring this space to life — we can’t wait to see it keep growing 💚

This morning at assembly, our Descendants cast gave us a special moment by performing their closing song for the whole school 💫

What happens when a student becomes principal for the day?☺️🙌

A lot of learning, teamwork, and a few important “principal duties.” Our Principal for a Day, Adam Mauceri, spent time with the principal helping around campus and getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to lead a school.

Our auditorium was filled with the rhythm and energy of Brazil during a recent assembly. 🇧🇷
Ballet Folclórico do Brasil, presented by The Music Center of Los Angeles County, shared vibrant dances and music celebrating Brazil’s rich cultural traditions shaped by African, Portuguese, and Indigenous influences.

Experiences like this help bring culture, history, and the arts to life for our students💛💚

Community shout-out 💛🦉

We’d love to thank CDA mom Anastasia and her small business, @lublue.store , for providing the beautiful custom fabric decals in our game room and parent lounge. They add such a fun, welcoming touch to our campus spaces.

Thank you, Anastasia, for sharing your creativity with our school!

Our campus turned into a space lab last night💫. Planetarium shows, telescopes, hands-on STEM activities. The curiosity was real. Events like this remind us: kids don’t need to be told why science matters. They just need a chance to explore it✨
