Juneteenth marks the day all enslaved people were made aware of their liberation. As much as it celebrates freedom, it’s also an avenue for people to celebrate African-American culture and traditions and an opportunity to reflect on how we can move forward as a multicultural society.

Did you know that feeling overwhelmed in the summer is incredibly common, often triggered by the pressure to be constantly active, disrupted routines, and the physical stress of high heat on your body. It is completely okay to step back, slow down, and prioritize your personal well-being. It’s ok not to be in every social gathering. It’s ok to just take it slow and recharge. It’s also ok to put down your social media and avoid the FOMO.
We have 8 more weeks of summer! How will you manage your self-care?

She is full of energy and joy as she finds creative ways to make learning Spanish fun.

Can you believe we’ve had an entire week of summer vacation already?
Whether it’s summer vacation, thanksgiving break, Christmas break, or spring break, the faculty at Linda Vista are always thinking of their students. Here’s some tips to make the most of your summer.
Create a “loose” schedule: Avoid the “summer slump” by keeping a flexible daily routine. Wake up around the same time and dedicate a small chunk of the day to productivity before playing.
Catch up on sleep, eat well, and stay active.
Recharge: Don’t forget to completely disconnect from academic pressures. Read a book for fun, spend time with friends, or take a weekend road trip.
Follow us this summer for more tips!

Today is World Ocean Day! At Linda Vista Adventist Elementary School, we believe immersing students to ecosystems directly improves academic achievement, boosts mental and physical well-being, and fosters critical thinking. By observing natural habitats, students develop strong problem-solving skills, learn about biodiversity, and cultivate a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship.
Stewardship and Civic Engagement
Eco -Literacy: Students understand how human actions directly impact the planet and learn about concepts like conservation and sustainability.
Active Participation: Practical experience often motivates students to take civic action, such as leading community cleanups or building school gardens. Lasting Values: Early exposure to ecosystems builds a lifelong respect for nature and wildlife.
Genesis 2:15 reads: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and take care of it” (NIV)
