La Contenta Middle School

Welcome to the 24/25 school year! We’ll see you all on Aug. 12

Water is essential for life, and understanding how it's managed is crucial for our future. That's why it's so important for students to learn about water agencies! Students at La Contenta Middle School learned all about water this week at the annual Water Education Day. This special event was designed to deepen our students' understanding of water conservation, management and the critical importance of water in our daily lives and environment. Our 8th graders participated in a variety of engaging and informative activities, including interactive workshops, hands-on experiments and more. Experts from local water agencies led workshops on water purification processes, students conducted experiments to understand the principles of water filtration and some even got to try their hands at repairing water pipes. The enthusiasm and curiosity our 8th graders demonstrated was truly inspiring. Water Education Day not only expanded their knowledge of water-related issues but also empowered them to become proactive stewards of our planet's most vital resource. We extend our sincere gratitude to the local water agencies and their dedicated staff for organizing and facilitating this enriching experience: Joshua Basin Water District, Hi-Desert Water District, Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency and Mojave Water Agency.

The Arts at the Riverside County Office of Education hosted an art contest last fall for Día De Los Muertos; “The Return of the Souls.” Three La Contenta Middle School Lions entered the contest and were awarded for their amazing pieces! Shiloh Downward earned a second-place plaque in the category of acrylic paint on canvas. Lilli Mata earned a second-place plaque in the digital art category and Audry Hassing earned an honorable mention certificate for her sketch. Well done and congratulations to our Lion artists!
