Slow Down. New 15 MPH Speed Zone.

The City of San Francisco instituted a 15 MPH speed limit on all streets within 500 feet of our school and is in effect when children are present. The reduced speed will make our streets safer especially for walking and biking to and from school for everyone. The new speed limit is allowed under the California Vehicle Code and will be enforced by the San Francisco Police Department.

Lights On! Afterschool is a nation-wide event that every after school program takes part in on October 20th. The symbolism is to not turn off the lights on after school programs, meaning let's keep our after school programs funded and running. Our students made a quilt per each homeroom group, then put all the quilts together to make a GIANT quilt, followed by this group picture.
