Warner needs you! Your kids are counting on your support of the Annual Fund! We are at only 40% participation and have a long way to go to get the funding we nee
The Annual Fund is Warner’s highest giving priority, as it bridges the gap between the basic, minimum funding provided to Warner by LAUSD and the essential 21st century resources, services, and equipment necessary to promote the highly successful learning environment at Warner Avenue School. Your contribution to the Annual Fund pays for, among other programs and enhancements, teaching assistants in each classroom and on the school yard, writing and reading workshop programs, and helps ensure that computers, science, physical education, art, and music are deeply embedded in your child’s learning experience. It is because these programs and enhancements (among others) are paid for by the Annual Fund and not by LAUSD, that your donation to the Warner Annual Fund is so critical!
Please consider making your gift to the Annual Fund today, as each gift provides a direct and immediate benefit to our children! Contributions can be made via credit card, cash or a check, and can be paid in full, or spread out over three or six-month installment plans. Donations are tax deductible and can be made by going to:

Kids with Character
November
Word of the month: Gratitude
Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for what is meaningful to someone. It’s a way of seeing the world. Gratefulness = a happy heart.
Children can learn to appreciate more “wows” in their everyday lives. “Wows” can be as simple as getting a math problem right, biting into a delicious, warm pancake, or snuggling into a warm bed. Ask your child what “wows” they’re grateful for and why.
Pop! Goes Your Brain!
You and your kids have access to
BrainPOP at home!
We’re happy to inform you that BrainPOP is now available for home/mobile use for all Warner families.
BrainPop covers topics within Science, Math, Social Studies, English Language Arts, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Music, Health, Reading, and Writing. The content is carefully mapped to the Common Core, aligned to academic standards, and searchable with the online Standards Tool.
