Hi

These nice upper 70s and lower 80s days look like they will continue into next week before heating up again. This looks to be our weather cycle for the next few weeks.  

Our urban forest needs some deep watering if you can. both the trees in our yards and the trees in our parkways can use some attention before our next heat wave. This allows them to "weather" the heat better. Even though we are in water conservation mode because of the drought, we still need to water our trees. Please help keep our trees healthy and watered.  

Each August our schools start their new year. Along with the new patterns and schedules, there is the excitement of new beginnings for both the students and their families. What often gets missed in the newness are the teachers and staff who support the learning environments we call our schools, every single day. 

We are in the process of making our annual visit to each of our Rossmoor schools to welcome these good folks back to campus with a "grab and go" lunch featuring sandwiches from Nick's in Los Alamitos, chips, and water. Is this a life-changing event? Not in the least. It just allows us to say "HI, and thank you for doing all that you do for our children."

We are lucky to have the schools here in Rossmoor. Ask a local real estate agent if you want to know why having schools in Rossmoor is important. The schools were designed into the tract from the beginning with some brilliant insight and planning. Thank you, Mr. Cortese.

Next time you walk, ride or drive past one of the four schools in Rossmoor, pause a second to think just how much time, love, and effort goes into each campus. Take a breath, and a moment to say, Thank You!

Our Meet Your Candidates Night Town Hall this year is on Thursday, September 29th in the Rush Park Auditorium. We plan to begin at 6:30 p.m.

We have invited all 12 candidates for the 45th US Congressional District, 36th State Senate District, 70th State Assembly District, Los Alamitos Unified School District Trustee Area 3, and the Rossmoor Community Services District to attend.

As usual, prior to the Town Hall we will be posing some questions to the candidates and posting their responses on our site. We invite you to share your thoughts and questions with us. Some of your questions may be used during the live Town Hall event on Thursday, September 29th.

Please submit your candidate questions here.

More info and the interactive map with all the districts can be found here.

The Los Al Cross County Team is asking you to search your closets for those unwanted, gently used clothing items and shoes. Once you find them, please collect them in boxes or bags, and bring them to Rush Park on Saturday October 15th from 10:00 to Noon.

In addition to clearing our space in your closet, this collection event helps support the XC Team's 100+ students by providing funding for equipment, uniforms, supplies and coaching fees. 

A tax receipt is available for your donation at the event. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Rothany Kubis ([email protected])
