Leading the Way....In Style! Print


 Students are selling discount cards redeemable at local merchants as part of our fall fundraiser with funds directly used to support grade level fieldtrips.  The top sellers for the first month were Surya Tanikella, Monica Gonzalez, Kyle Dillon, Gerson Morales, Andrew Contreraz and Alana Contreraz.  They went to lunch at Mimi's Cafe on November 14th with Dr. Estrada in a limousine provided by Mix Masters Limousine Service.  A second group of students will be selected from the top sellers for the time period of November 7-December 10 to go to lunch with Dr. Estrada again.

Earth Day at Taylor Street School

Taylor Street Elementary School celebrated Earth Day last weekend as nearly 50 students, staff members, and community volunteers came together to create garden boxes, pathways, and prepare for planting of native plants for an outdoor education area.  The project began over a year ago with staff members Karen Brown, Rita Johnson and Elaine DeMers working with UC Davis Architectural Landscape Design students and the Department of Fish and Game to study the campus and determine a plan for developing an area that could be used by all students to observe and study plants and wildlife that are native to the area.

Principal on the Roof Print

Students at Taylor Street Elementary School had no problems finding their principal today; all they had to do was look up. Dr. Arthur Estrada, principal of the school, challenged students to complete 250 levels of Lexia Reading. In return for meeting the challenge Dr. Estrada agreed to spend the entire day on the roof.

As of March 9th, students at the school have successfully completed over 330 levels of Lexia. Students are able to work towards mastery of the program at school as well as at home. Mrs. Kelly Chao has been especially instrumental in encouraging students to work hard at mastering the skills needed to complete all five levels of Lexia. Students who complete all five levels earn lunch with the principal.
