Monte Vista High School
High School Kaleidoscope - The New Year By Ananya Lamba, Junior Reporter, Resident since 2015

he Holidays are over, bringing a new chapter in our lives. For high schoolers this means the start of second semester. We made it through the stressful finals in December and rightfully earned our two week vacation! We got to spend time with family and friends, for that is what the holidays are all about. In my case, my family and I traveled to Utah and Tahoe, where I had an amazing time skiing with my family! Winter break is always a time to make new memories that last a lifetime. Before the end of the year, many of our talented students got to show off their talent at the dance show and the choir performance. At the dance show, each dance class presented a few routines.

Iren Gullapalli, Ph.D. | San Ramon, CA--
Victoria is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very easy to communicate with. She is always positive, encouraging and very respectful. My son is usually not very comfortable performing in front of an audience but Victoria provides plenty of activities that prepare her students to feel comfortable for the recitals. So far, my son has performed four times in the students’ recitals and has not complained yet. Helen Lin | Livermore, CA
