Mr. Lundstrom was been named a 2015-16 Javits-Frasier
scholar by the National Association for Gifted Children.
Only 12 teachers nationally were recognized and Lundstrom
was the only California educator to be named a Javits-Frasier
scholar.
The Javits-Frasier Teacher Scholarship Fund for Diverse Talent
Development recognizes passionate, innovative educators who work
in districts that serve students from low-income and minority
populations that are historically underrepresented in gifted
education.
In partnership with Soil Born Farms, students
harvested vegetables from the school’s garden plots and
then learned how to cook them.
Students peeled, chopped, grated and stirred with their
peers. The menu included butternut squash soup, grated
potato ‘n’ greens fritters and warm lemon water with honey.
Camellia teachers recently hosted the second Camellia
Academic Teacher Team (CATT) meeting of the school
year, an event that left parents feeling empowered to help their
students.
Camellia faculty spent the evening teaching parents academic
activities and games to use at home with students.
Academic Parent Teacher Teams are a model of parent engagement
brought to Sacramento City Unified by the Parent Teacher Home
Visit Project, a national nonprofit focused on building trust
between schools and families.
Welcome Back! I hope all of you had a great summer filled with
great memories and needed rest. We are incredibly excited to
begin the 2018-19 school year at Camellia Basic!
We look forward to making this a great school year where the
educational experiences address the whole child needs of students
as evidenced by classroom engagement with rigorous and relevant
material combined with special events and activities.
Again, we welcome you to Camellia and to our wonderful learning
community, a place that is full of unlimited possibilities.
Here’s to a wonderful school year as we work together to make our
school an amazing place to work and learn each day!
