 @JoseHuizar and Recreation & Parks to host 2nd Planning Workshop (Thur 9/26 6:30p) @HighlandPatch
Here’s another opportunity to engage with other interested members of our community when the office of Councilmember José Huizar and the Los Angeles Department of Recreation & Parks are scheduled to hold the second in a planned series of workshops aimed at designing York Park, the latest addition to L.A.’s so-called “50 Parks Initiative,” located on a quarter-acre piece of vacant land on the corner of York Boulevard and Avenue 50, near the border of Highland Park and Eagle Rock. Thursday, Sept. 26 (6:30p - 8:30p) Buchanan Elementary School 5024 Buchanan St, Los Angeles, CA 90042 This will be an occasion for community members to view design drafts created by community members at the first workshop last month at Burbank Middle School. Attendees will be able to “flesh out the designs and begin to work on the smaller design details of the park,” according to the Council District 14 weekly newsletter. For more information, contact the CD 14 Northeast Office at (323) 254-5295 or e-mail Field Deputy Nate Hayward at [email protected].

 Colorado Bl work starts Mon 9/23 | Tue 9/24 Lane & X-Walk striping begins @EagleRockNC @josehuizar
In case you haven't noticed the orange cones on Colorado Blvd, last week the Bureau of Street Services began construction of new crosswalks at El Rio Ave and Glen Iris Ave, which require cutting through the concrete medians. According to the Council office, the work will be done by Monday, September 23rd, at which time contractors will begin scraping off the current lane striping on Colorado Boulevard. If you live near Colorado, this will be loud work -- and it will happen at night. So be prepared! On Tuesday, September 24th, the Department of Transportation (DOT) will begin working behind the contractor to stripe in the bike lanes and add crosswalk markings. Most work will be completed at night, and the installations are scheduled to be done by Friday, October 4th, in time for the Eagle Rock Music Festival on Saturday.

Please join Mrs. Stephanie Leach, Principal as she leads a conversation regarding Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC), later this morning, September 11th in the Multi-Purpose Room at 8:15a. Please come for answers to your many questions! Breakfast in the Classroom (BIC) will begin for everyone at Eagle Rock Elementary on September 23rd. Our school or any other school for that matter cannot opt-out; however, participation is not mandatory as no student is ever required to take any meal offered by LAUSD Food Services Division (breakfast or lunch). LAUSD has a total K-12 enrollment of 664,233 students (as of Oct 2011), second to NYC of whom there are:
This leaves over 300,000 students (up to 400,000 depending on the data sources) throughout our school community (Eagle Rock and beyond) that are potentially not having breakfast...which is the target audience. Additionally, this is district wide, K-12 so even our older students can get access to nutrition if they can't at home, whatever the reason. According to the LAUSD, many teachers are using this "breakfast time" for business as usual, like collecting homework and taking attendance while others use it to teach students about health/nutrition, sustainability and recycling or simply having the kids read or do other school work. Whether these are the most nutritionally valuable foods to eat depends on our views as parents; however, LAUSD adopted the USDA Healthier US Challenge nutrition standards – the program promoted by First Lady Michelle Obama in Let’s Move campaign to reduce childhood obesity. Interested to know what's being served? You can always access the school menu here. Lastly, food waste can be minimized once the program is implemented at ERE, considering that the number of meals served will be adjusted as student participation is assessed.

Today, September 4, 2013 marks the 232nd birthday of the founding of our great city. The story of Los Angeles' founding begins with a Russian expedition to North America in the 1730s and 1740s. Although Spain had laid claim to Alta California for nearly two centuries, it had never settled the land, which lay along the northwestern reaches of its vast American empire. But when a Russian expedition, led by the Danish explorer Vitus Bering, reached Alaska in 1741, it became clear that the Russian empire, expanding eastward over the Eurasian landmass and across the soon-to-be-named Bering Strait, might harbor territorial ambitions toward Spanish California...
