This past weekend we attended their 15th annual El Panteon de Sacramento. This community event has lots of performances, food and textile vendors, in additional to gallery artwork displays. We attended on the last day to view folkloric dances from local Sacramento dance groups. This event is donation driven and promoted community. We had a cucumber beverage and bought some pretty hand made earrings for my daughter. Hopefully they hold another similar event in early spring. The photography artwork is very beautiful.

There is no cross walk so you must be careful when crossing the street. The lot is mostly uneven concrete and dirt flooring. Do not wear high heels your shoes could get dirty or scuffed. There are not many bathrooms in the area. We saw a few porte potty's near the stage. Keep that in mind when purchasing beverages.

Artist Ruben Reveles Presents Outstanding Art in Exhibition…read more SITREP It was a special treat for my sweet Elite Yelper buddy Fabi F. and I to make a trip to La Raza Galeria Posada to view the works of her high school compadre Ruben Reveles. THE SETUP Located on Front Street just off of Broadway and down the road a bit from the Towe Ford Automobile Museum (south of the I-5 / Business 80 interchange), La Raza Galeria Posada in set amdist some nice rural landscape with a great Horse pen on premises. The museum looks a bit like a military hangar from the outside, but certainly is roomy & spacious inside, affording artists the opportunity to have ample wall and alcove space to set-up exhibitions. There is a requested donation box of $5 that goes to the upkeep of the gallery as well as provide funding for artistic endeavors. RUBEN'S STUDIO Our friend, Artist Ruben Reveles also has his artist studio on premises at La Raza Galeria Posada, making it an idyllic situation for him to capture the muses and create his works of art: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-raza-galeria-posada-sacramento-2?select=ARLVDAgl8TS1ZNpQigCjsw#SRAxe4N3AV2lDLVXSABEmQ Ruben's work is breathtaking & exquisite, such as this fantastic work he had in the main room of the gallery: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-raza-galeria-posada-sacramento-2?select=ARLVDAgl8TS1ZNpQigCjsw#vYTyXgzNgO3gZdJY153quQ FRIDA!

I bought a smaller print of this larger piece he created on commission for the band Los Lobos for their album art, and I got Fabi to stand with him next to this beautiful piece: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-raza-galeria-posada-sacramento-2?select=ARLVDAgl8TS1ZNpQigCjsw#Zhqygc2hXFuGcztf8uW6Lw ART SELECTIONS The gallery has a wonderfully macabre emphasis on the "Day of the Dead" theme and also features some great selections of other artists in various different mediums, including paper mache: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-raza-galeria-posada-sacramento-2?select=ARLVDAgl8TS1ZNpQigCjsw#LIA8Wer0Mk6czxAXMSLw2A THE LOWDOWN La Raza Galeria Posada is a wonderful gallery paying tribute to the artists of La Raza!

They have a small parking lot, a couple of spaces for teachers and a couple for those early bird students as this lot will fill up fast! Luckily there is a lot of parking nearby and one can usually find a decent spot. I came by this shop to pick up supplies for one of the online classes they were hosting. Due to covid they are hosting all classes online, which is mostly made up of language classes. You might still have to come by to pick up your text book though so please call ahead before you stop by since their office isn't always open. It was super easy to pick up my items and the young man kept his mask on the whole time which I appreciate. They have so many items for sale in the front part of the school, it was so colorful. I loved the earrings the most! (I wear clip on earrings though- bummer for me!) Outside is a mural of Frida and since I had some falsies on I wanted to mimic her beautiful face in the mural. The class online was so cool and informative- I learn a lot about mexican culture and how to make the sugar skulls from the class. I don't know if they will do this event for the public next year but it cost me only $5 for the skull kit and I bought two so my boyfriend could also make one. We had a great time and truly appreciate this small business.

I really love that it's a Jewish inspired program while still being welcoming to families from all backgrounds. The values they teach are felt every day, and it feels warm and inclusive. The classrooms are big and bright, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into how they're set up. The learning centers are intentional and encourage the kids to explore and ask questions. It doesn't feel chaotic, it feels purposeful and engaging. The teachers are amazing. They're patient, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids. You can tell they love what they do. And the director is so sweet and dependable. She's present, approachable, and you can truly see how much she cares about every child. My child is excited to go to school everyday.

The staff is completely unqualified, inattentive, and unable to provide even basic supervision. Children were left without proper care, and it was clear that no one was paying attention to their needs or safety. The owner is extremely unprofessional, rude, and seems to care only about making money rather than providing a safe, nurturing environment for children. There was absolutely no sense of compassion or responsibility. This place caused trauma for my child, and I would never recommend it to anyone. It was a horrible experience from start to finish. Stay far away.

The inside has such a cool relaxed music studio vibe, I think I spent most of the time walking around and checking everything out from the different rooms to all of the awesome artwork on the walls. I even love their giant wall where all the kids sign and doodle on it! When we arrived, one of the owners welcomed us and gave us a tour. I love that they have glass doors so you can see other students practicing everything from drums, to bass, to singing! As much as you'd think all of the noise could be a bit much, I actually found it relaxing and liked hearing all the different instruments. My daughter's singing coach (Cale) was very patient and kind and she left even more excited to join than when we arrived. When we left, the receptionist gave us a flyer with the pricing and class options for my daughter's age - I thought it was a bit steep at first, but it includes 8 classes a month - 2 a week - 1 one on one session for 30 minutes and 1 group lesson for an hour and a half. Everyone there was so nice and you can tell the coaches/teachers love their job and what they can offer to these kids! The coaches offer everything from bass, guitar, drum, singing, and even keyboard/piano. They also offer summer camps, workshops and they even have the kids put on concerts! We will definitely be joining soon and I can't wait to see where School of Rock takes my daughter's confidence! Check them out!

I was really, really hopeful that this program would work for my children. I initiated contact…read morethrough the email provided on the website, and received a response from the admin. assistant a few days later. I had a variety of questions that the website did not answer for me, such as.... Is my child assessed for their current Spanish comprehension prior to being enrolled in one the programs they offer? How is that done? Formal assessment? Is the current class offerings full, or is there a certain enrollment period? For private lessons, do I pick a time, does the teacher pick the time? I find these questions to be simple enough, but sadly it took over a month of ME pursuing this business with phone calls and emails to get all questions answered. I think it odd that I had to go to so much work to try and give them my money. Eventually, 6 weeks later, I was paired up with a Tutor who I thought was going to assess my daughter and determine a class placement and provide me with more information (curriculum, assessments, contracts, commitments, etc.) While she was extremely nice to me, interactive with my daughter and cheerful.... she knew close-to-nothing about The Spanish Immersion Program. According to her, I would be paying Spanish immersion a lot of money to have her come over once a week for an hour and hang out with my daughter speaking conversational Spanish. I don't expect or need a textbook for my kid. But for it being a business that provides a professional service, I was expecting a little something more. To show that I was getting my money's worth. A Pre & Post evaluation that says, "look, we have goals and guidelines and your child is reaching them. See?" Maybe something that says the tutors are background checked, formally trained, and come with prior teaching/tutoring experience. something. anything. I made one last attempt to speak to the Director, who couldn't remember off the top of her head what the rates were for classes PLUS tutoring (because I really don't think the cost and time for one hour a week would be effective). She never followed up, so I ultimately took my business elsewhere.
