March 2: Fashion Show, Books and Breakfast, Moms Council

Visit Patch each morning to find out the five things you need to know about Long Beach for the day. Whether there’s an important school board meeting, a fundraiser coming, or you need to catch up on stories you missed, we’ll make sure you stay informed about what’s shaping your city. Here are the top five things you need to know for Wednesday:

1. Kindergarteners from Lido Elementary School will enjoy a fun-filled "books and breakfast" event at 9:45 a.m., when students will read a book while eating breakfast and socializing with their peers.

2. While Fashion Week in New York City recently passed, the Long Beach High School’s “Morning Madness Fashion Show” is set to start at 7 p.m. at LBHS. The show is a benefit for the school’s drug- and alcohol-free post-prom party.

3. The Board of Trustees at Long Beach Library will meet at 8 p.m. All residents are welcome to attend this public meeting.

4. Each Monday at 1 p.m. here on Long Beach Patch, our Moms Council gathers here to answer a parenting-related question. Today’s query focuses on raising children in Long Beach. Return later and join the chat.

5. Don’t forget to check out Patch’s announcements section under the “News” tab, where you’ll find both past and upcoming events, from a new folk and funk music festival to the city's parking ticket amnesty program.
