Welcome families and friends of El Rio Charter School.
Our vision is to found a Kindergarten through 5th grade public charter school, opening in 2013, 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.

Development team member Sheila sent this link to a program in LA; Trash for Teaching

They collect cast-off materials from manufacturers, organize them into bins in a mobile “Treasure Truck” and visit schools to do art workshops with the kids. Sooooo cool. Check it out. I joined their mailing list and watched their video. This is something that el Rio will definitely want to do!

“I learned about that… um… you can make anything out of stuff instead of throwing it away.”
