Important NEWS- Due to recent budget cuts, Germain Street Elementary School will NOT have a Librarian for the upcoming school year. Because of this, the library cannot be open to students without a teacher present, and students will not be allowed to check-out books under any circumstances. Effectively, this shuts the children out of a valuable educational resource, currently utilized by students on a daily basis. However, it may not be too late. Attached is a pre-written letter for you, or anyone else concerned with your child’s education, to sign and mail to our local district 1 superintendent Linda Del Queto and our LAUSD superintendent Dr. John Deasy.

It would not be the first time Germain St. parents have gotten the district’s attention, and cooperation, when we have demanded it. (It would not even be the first time this year.) If we, the concerned parents, families, and friends of Germain St. students show unified support, we have, and will continue to bring the resources our children need back to the campus. Please take a moment to click the link below, print, complete, and mail 1 copy to each of the addresses below. In addition to correspondence, faxes and calls are valuable as well. All information is provided below. We have done it before. We’ll do it again.

LAST PTA Association Meeting: Tuesday June 21 @ 6 pm.We will be installing our new elected eboard members. The meeting will be at 6 pm at El Queso Grande 10152 Balboa Blvd Granada Hillscorner of Devonshire and Balboa.  2 item combo with rice, beans, soft drink or tea including tax and tip is $20.00. If someone would like something else then the price will increase accordingly. Please RSVP with a check (made to Germain PTA) for $20 p/p by June 21 end of school day!. You may attend just the meeting at no cost. Dinner to follow meeting.
