Principal’s Corner – A Message from Principal Kamau
Dear Warner Community:
We are one week away from spring break. Spring break is March 21 – 25, 2016. School is closed on Monday, March 28, 2016 (Cesar Chavez Day). We resume school on Tuesday, March 29, 2016.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Warner Softball Team and their coaches Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Yonathan. The boys played their hearts out on Saturday, March 12, 2016 and came away as the champions of the LAUSD Beyond-the-Bell softball league. We are so proud! Come out at 8:20am on Monday, March 14 to cheer and celebrate the team at morning assembly.
This past week Warner staff enjoyed an exquisite luncheon hosted by parents. The luncheon was a celebration of the Persian New Year. We send a huge Thank You to the hosting parents who came together to honor us with Persian food and a history of the Persian culture. Thank you for caring, loving and sharing so generously.
Warner Spring Sing is on Friday, March 18, 2016 at 11:00am. The front gates will open at 10:40am to have everyone seated for the performance. Warner wear will be on sale at the event. Share and show your Warner spirit and love with Warner wear!
Be Kind: Be Well!

THE WARNER AMAZON ONE CLICK TO SHOP IS READY! DO ALL YOUR AMAZON AND TOYS ‘R’US SHOPPING AND MAKE EASY MONEY FOR WARNER!
Here’s all you have to do:
1. Instead of going straight to the Amazon website to shop, go to the new www.WarnerWave.com website.
2. On the left hand sidebar, you’ll see an Amazon logo. Click on that Amazon logo and you’ll be taken to the Amazon website you always go to, where you can shop like you normally do. (There’s no difference, Prime Memberships, etc, it’s all still there)
3. If you go through Amazon to access Toys R Us and other Amazon partners, Warner gets credit and a percentage of those sales as well!
The BIG DIFFERENCE is that when you go through the Warner Wave website to shop, and buy, Amazon will give a percentage of any money you spend to your child’s school! If our Warner families take this easy step, we can raise a lot of money for Warner with almost no extra effort. (Really, just 1 extra click on your part.) SPREAD THE WORD TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES!
Just so you know, it doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon through Warner. And your purchases are completely anonymous – so no one will rib you about your love of Taylor Swift or your penchant for romantic fiction.
It’s so easy and our school gains so much! That’s why we’re asking everyone to make a habit of going through www.WarnerWave.com to do their shopping on Amazon, for the rest of the year.
Thanks for your support.
