Welcome
Welcome to our school! Our mission is to educate the whole child. We believe that all children can excel at academics, and that activities and citizenship are just as important. Our students know that we have high expectations for them, and they strive to meet them. We welcome involvement from our parents and the community.

Message from the Principal
This Saturday, May 18, a select 32 Pomelo Grade 4 and 5 students will participate in the 5th Annual Best Foot Forward Ballroom Dance Festival at El Camino High School along with students from the other 16 schools involved in the program. It is exciting and amazing to see what the students have accomplished in twenty 40 minute lessons over the course of the year! The program is so much more than learning to dance the tango, foxtrot, meringue and such! Come support our Pomelo dancers at El Camino on Saturday at 10:30 am. Tickets are available in the office for $10. or at the door on Saturday morning for $12.
On Tuesday evening, May 28 at 6:30 pm we encourage our Pomelo community to come see all our Pomelo Grade 4 and 5 students dance at a special Ballroom Dance Showcase. Each class will dance and our Ballroom Dance Festival Team will encore their festival performance. Tickets will be sold to support the program for next year. Please join us.

Pomelo Partners
Dear Pomelo Families,
The impacts of the economic recession continue to affect each of us more every day. The headlines speak of severe deficits in federal, state, and municipal budgets. Los Angeles has most recently been featured in the news for its budget woes. LAUSD is under extreme stress to reduce costs and class sizes will increase again next year.
Our devoted teachers at Pomelo do a fantastic job educating our children, but each additional child in the classroom takes time away from the students for additional administrative work and grading. To help Pomelo teachers continue to provide maximum attention to our children, we need volunteers to assist teachers as part of a program called, Pomelo Partners. Here is how it works:
You must be able to commit to working at least 3 hours every week in a classroom other than your child’s. Every day you devote assisting a teacher as a Pomelo Partner, your child’s classroom will also benefit from someone assigned to his/her classroom. This simply extends the current volunteer program many of us already participate in.
Intrigued by this idea but need more information? Attend an Informational Meeting that will be held on April 20 at 8:15 in the Parent Center. Also, Pomelo Partners will be expected to attend a 1 hour training.
Our plan is to Pilot this program beginning April 26. If you are interested, please contact Janetta Shvartsmann at songvites@pacbell.net or 818-307-1612. Also, contact Janetta if you have additional questions or need an evening meeting.
If for some unlikely reason we can’t match all of your Pomelo Partner hours, you will be notified and can opt out of the additional hours.
