Team Pomelo financially supports enrichment programs for Pomelo students to supplement the basic LAUSD curriculum.
Without generous donations from parents to the Panther Fund, we would not have these programs for our students.
Our partnership with the school makes a well-rounded education including art, music, computers, library, teacher's aides, ballroom dancing, and more available for our kids.

Art Program
Art Education helps children develop creative problem-solving skills, motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness. The Pomelo Art Program teaches students to express their feelings, Ideas, and creativity.
Music Program
Music ignites all areas of child development, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language and overall literacy. The Pomelo Music Program helps the mind and body work together in a fun and enriching environment.
Meet our Music Teacher!
Tara Steck teaches the fundamentals of music, from learning to read music, to playing instruments, to teaching the kids how to sing while moving. The Spring Sing is the culmination of Mrs. Steck’s work with our students throughout the year.
Computer Program
Our goal is for students to develop essential skills needed to use today's latest technology and productivity tools in order to create, edit, share, collaborate and publish effectively - and, at the same time, do so in a positive, safe, and ethical manner.
Curriculum for Pomelo’s Computer Program is provided by Enriched Minds
Enriched Minds provides an educational and fun learning environment for children interested in robotics, engineering, computer programming, arts and outdoor activities. Our focus is to offer multiple approaches to learning and to have fun while doing it!
Enriched Minds also offers tech support to our teachers and students, as well as servicing all of our computers and iPads.
We strive to give our students an experience they will never forget as well as encourage them to not forget to use their imagination and creativity when learning!
Library
Schools with a strong school library program ensure their students have the best chance to succeed. Team Pomelo helps to fund our school library by hosting two book fairs a year, along with monthly opportunities to purchase books for the library and our teachers.
Meet Our Librarian!
Lianne Kinsella is our amazing library aide! She teaches students how a library works by reading to them, helping them choose two books to borrow each week, and encouraging free reading time during recess and lunch.
Scholastic Book Fairs
There's no Book Fair like a Scholastic Book Fair! It starts with a choice: What do I want to read? And since being empowered to choose their own books is a milestone opportunity to identify and express their own voice, kids also leave the Book Fair as bolder, prouder, and stronger individuals.
Teacher's Aides
Team Pomelo provides funding for supplemental supervision and classroom help. Safety matters at Pomelo, and our aides help keep the school yard safe. Without your donations, we would not be able to provide the additional financial support needed to keep our aides on the playground and in the classrooms.
Ballroom Dancing
Team Pomelo provides our 4th and 5th grade students with the opportunity to learn the art of Ballroom Dancing. Over a 20 week program, the students master complicated dances such as the merengue, tango, salsa, and swing dance, all the while learning important life lessons. At the end of the year, select students have an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in front of family and friends at the Ballroom Competition at the end of the year.
Ballroom Dancing is provided by Once Upon a Dance Company
Once Upon a Dance works directly with elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District to provide a social and ballroom dance program to 4th and 5th grade students. The program is designed to promote effective learning techniques and healthy behavioral patterns through the art of dance.
