April has been full of learning and fun! 402 visited K04 to exchange letters and drawings, and helped with a math activity. We love building connections—it’s what makes school so special!

Check out our new Basketball Funnel in action!
Thanks to the amazing support from our families during last year’s Rompecocos Fundraiser, we were able to bring not one, but TWO of these fun additions to our playground!
The kids are having a blast playing, laughing, and staying active—exactly what we hoped for!
We couldn’t have done it without YOU! Thank you for always showing up for our school community.
¡Go Lobos!

We were thrilled to welcome the talented Edison Middle School Jazz Band, Inventions Choir, and BRIO Orchestra groups to our school today! The performance was amazing and so inspiring for our students.
A special shoutout to our former Sonia Sotomayor students who returned as part of this incredible tour! We are beyond proud of the leaders, musicians, and role models you’ve become. Your visit reminded us all of how far dedication and passion can take you.
Thankn you, for sharing your talent with us!
