Welcome families and friends of el Rio Charter School.
Our vision is to found a Kindergarten through 8th grade public charter school, opening in 2012, which brings the advantages of a Waldorf style education to Northeast Los Angeles.
We are calling for participants willing to strategize, collaborate and give skills and time to help us
make it happen.

Birds!

Posted: January 10th, 2010 | Author: Jennifer Patton | Filed under: Uncategorized | 5 Comments »

In an effort to raise our first $1000.00 for business start up costs, our own Julia P. came up with ingenious craft and sewing circle fundraiser.

We and some very generous el Rio volunteers sewed, stuffed, tailed and tagged these adorable and charming birds from fashion scraps, pillow shams, and donated shirting. No two birds are alike. Each has his or her own distinct personality.

They’re only 10 bucks apiece! Chicken feed, when you consider your seed money will help build our nest egg for the future! ;)
