Steve shared his early dreams and journey to becoming an astronaut, his adventures on 4 space missions and 7 spacewalks, how he repaired the Hubble Telescope, and the importance of caring for our planet and each other.

Jump Rope Queen - Renè Bibaud
We are so excited to welcome back Renè Bibaud, affectionately nicknamed ‘The Jump Rope Queen, on Monday, March 20, and Tuesday March 21. Rene is a five-time world champion, former ESPN commentator for the sport of jumping rope and artist and coach of the renowned Cirque Du Soleil. She is an educator, motivational speaker and entertainer with a special focus on fitness and specialty performances. Renè will perform two assemblies and lead workshops with our students, in coordination with our awesome PE teachers. Renè’s previous assemblies at Las Lomitas have been some of the most favored by our students and we are so lucky to have her back!
Past Assemblies
Las Lomitas held three assemblies during the 2021-2022 school year.
Oliver Chin is the founder of Immedium, an independent publisher of multicultural children’s picture books (including Octonauts!), and the author of more than 20 books of his own. He joined the Las Lomitas community virtually to read a story from his Tales from the Chinese Zodiac set.
Oliver also gave a master class on drawing one of the characters from his books!
Michael Bakunin joined the Las Lomitas community virtually to talk about EVs, batteries, chargers, robo-taxies, and VTOLs. Kids learned about how electric vehicles differ from gasoline cars, where to observe self-driving cars in the Bay Area, and how they go!
The kids asked a variety of questions about electric planes, electric school buses, whether kids would be able to drive autonomous cars by themselves, and many more.
The San Jose Taiko drummers performed 2 consecutive live sessions for our K-3 graders.
Students enjoyed the performance, learned about Ki, asked great questions, and even volunteered to play the drums!
