“All About Me”
The "Elliott School World Navigator" magnet program provides our students with unique opportunities for learning. World Navigators discover the contributions and influences of all ethnic groups through the Global Address Program. The children learn to value and appreciate diversity. With the "All About Me" unit, students are encouraged to explore and celebrate their own cultural backgrounds. Our students gain world perspective and technological skills that give them a definite advantage in today's global society!
Elliott Reaches Our to the Community
Elliott School World Navigators utilize technology to bring their lessons to life with exciting projects that make learning fun and rewarding. Students participate in multicultural music, passport PE, and global experiences with multicultural assemblies. The magnet program reaches out to the community. Elliott students visit the Cerritos Library, Cerritos Performing Arts Center and many local businesses.
Each year we receive visitors from other countries. An unforgettable experience was a cultural exchange with 15 Japanese educators from our "sister city" Kakamigahara, Japan. Our students enjoyed Japanese folk dance, origami, and traditional games with the Japanese teachers.
Our students also learn to give to those who are less fortunate by participating in Red Cross Dollar Drive and the Cerritos Mall "Big Red Bucket" food drive.
We continue to provide a high-quality education for all our students with the combined efforts of students, staff, parents and community members.
