Being held this year at the brand-new Dana Middle School campus, at 5330 W. 135th St., in Hawthorne, the events offers a smorgasbord of family fun, from train rides and face painting and a live Nintendo Wii competition to live music, bingo and food.

The festivities start at 9 a.m. and run until 2 p.m. Enjoy!

The Wiseburn School District at its most recent board meeting received a whopping $25,000 donation from Chevron.

The company has long made annual financial gifts to the tiny, well-respected district.

According to the school system: "This year's donation will underwrite the cost of installing Smart Classroom Technology into five of the new Dana Middle School classrooms. This tool will enable teachers to quickly judge student understanding while, at the same time, it will engage students in the learning process."
