Do you like nature? Do you want to learn about fly fishing? Do you enjoy hiking?

Come to Lower Arroyo Seco Park on May 16, Sunday, at 9:30 am for the Nature Club’s first meeting. Michael Miller from the Pasadena Casting Club will lead a fly-fishing demo.

Baby Yoda in a tree

Mr. Miller also will take us on a guided hike along the Lower Arroyo Seco Trail. We will try to find Baby Yoda hiding in a tree.

Climbing steps is fun.

There are lots of large trees and stone steps.

The casting pond is a big rectangle-shaped pool. There are no fish in it, but you can practice casting your fishing line. You also can see tadpoles swimming in the water and tiny toads hopping on and off branches.

The address for Lower Arroyo Park is 415 S. Arroyo Blvd. in Pasadena.

This activity is not sponsored or endorsed by the Los Angeles Unified School District. We will wear masks and socially distance to follow COVID-19 health precautions. If you’d like to attend, please email second-grade parent Michael Diaz by May 14, Friday.

I hope you will join us to have fun! • MARIGOLD D.

Do you want to come to the Fitness Fun Club? It’s a club on Zoom for Ivanhoe students. We exercise and have a great time.

Our first session will be on March 22, Monday, at 3 pm. Our guest speaker’s name is Cousin Danny from the Happiness Is Now Experience. He used to be a high school teacher. He was also a dance choreographer for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Cousin Danny will answer questions about himself and how to stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then he will teach us an energizing dance exercise. It will be fun! • MARIGOLD D.

Ivanhoe students have made their own magazine—“Ivanhoe Vogue”!

Led by fifth graders Henrietta H. and Marlo E., the online magazine features class updates from student representatives, comedy, interviews with teachers, artwork, and articles about fashion, animals, and more. The first issue is out now, and more editions are planned. If you’d like to submit something, please email Andrew.Skomra@lausd.net.

As Henrietta and Marlo wrote in their intro letter, “We noticed a lot of students are stressed out being at home all the time. This magazine is a way to help students out, have fun, and still share topics on our minds.

The ‘Ivanhoe Vogue’ is a space to share. It’s an interactive space to show other students what you are interested in and what you have been up to. Enjoy!” • STUDENT COUNCIL
