We had a great time at La Casa’s Open House last Friday. Each classroom had a theme: the Ocean (pictured), the Jungle, Outer Space and Bugs. Children’s workbooks and art were displayed for parents and friends. Tacos were prepared by our friends at Del Mar Cafe, with cooks who attended La Casa when they were children. Thanks to all the children, staff, volunteers, parents and friends who made this Open House a wonderful occasion!
We give thanks for good food, and all those who bring it to La Casa. You make make a difference in the lives of La Casa’s children and families!

Last week, La Casa staff and parents put on a fun Promotion Party for our preschool families. Congratulations to the students who are heading off to Kindergarten in the fall! Our talented preschool parent, Mr. Buggs, created a Western themed event complete with sunflowers, hay stacks and the perfect photo spot. Kids came dressed in their boots and hats ready to kick off summer!
