Students and families gathered on the playground at Laura B. Anderson elementary on the evening of Thursday, April 30th, for an evening of fun and celebration. April 30th marks the birthday of the school's namesake, Laura B. Anderson. She was a revered educator at the old Riverside school, and when the school was rebuilt in the 1960's, it was renamed in her honor.
LBA is one of SFSD's oldest elementary schools, and it is considered a hub of community in the neighborhood where it sits. Generations of families come and go through this school's doors, and the impact the school makes reverberates throughout the community. We'd like to offer a big THANK YOU to all the teachers, staff, students, and families that continue to make this historic school a place where kids love to learn and grow.

5th grade spent Earth Day cleaning up the school grounds. Thanks for being good citizens and helping to keep our school beautiful.
We are more than halfway to our goal for the Fun Run. Thank you LBA community! The QR code on the forms that were sent home is no longer working. This is the updated QR if you want to give electronically. We will collect each student's envelope again this Friday, April 24. We appreciate your support.
So far, we have collected $2665 for the Fun Run - more that halfway to our goal of $5000. Way to go Bees! Keep up the good work. The link to the video on the previous post was not working so try this one. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oof1kBKmplYXF0mHr2FPw3zjqc3lkDGl/view?usp=sharing
Neighborhood Soccer is cancelled for this Saturday, April 18!
With projected temps hovering just below/at freezing (which means parks won’t have water on), plus wind, and lots of standing in line for registration, it’s just not a safe situation! We plan to see you all next Saturday, April 25th!
Thank you

Congratulations to our Millionaire for a Day Winner - Anthony! He arrived to school in style and enjoyed a donut party with his class and family.

Such a great morning! Citi Volunteers came to each classroom for Teach Children to Save. Thank you all for serving our students and giving that foundation for financial literacy. We are so grateful for this partnership.
LBA Fun Run & Riverside Reunion
Join Us for a Night of Celebration, Connection, and Fun!
April 30 | 5:00–7:00 PM | Playground
We’re inviting our entire community to come together for a special evening as we celebrate the birthday of Laura B. Anderson—the person behind our school’s proud name and legacy!
Bring the whole family and enjoy a fun-filled night featuring hot dogs, sandwiches, and plenty of time to connect with friends old and new. Take a walk down memory lane as we open the school for tours and showcase historical photos highlighting the rich tradition and stories of Riverside/LBA.
This event is truly for everyone—past, present, and future Bees! Whether you’re a current family, alumni, former staff member, or longtime community supporter, we would love to see you there. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors as we gather generations of Laura B. Anderson Bees and Riverside Rats to celebrate what makes this community so special.
Come ready to reconnect, reminisce, and make a few new memories—we can’t wait to see you there! 🐝
This event is a fundraiser to help support our classrooms (headphones, teacher/student supplies, etc.). All proceeds will go to LBA School.
