SPRING UPDATES JANICE ANDERSON, RICK HEROFF, ALEJANDRO REYNOSO It is hard to believe that this is the last newsletter for the 2021-22 academic year. We are so excited to celebrate our graduates exceeding over 60 college credits. This graduating class has persevered not only through a pandemic, but learning how to attend classes virtually. We could not be more proud of each and every one of them. We also want to celebrate all of the fun that we have had over the past few weeks. We all enjoyed the Carnival activities, even though the water in the dunk tank was really COLD! We also celebrated with hundreds of students, their families and the community during our Cinco de Mayo festivities. We especially want to thank all the vendors and community businesses that made these events so successful: Kona Ice, Still Smokin BBQ Joint, El Pareja, Olde Town Nutrition, Tacos el Flaco, Taqueria Nueva Union. As we are pushing our enrollment this summer please refer your family and friends to our school. Our enrollment is essential in providing a quality education to all of our students. Thank you for all that you have done to partner with us in ensuring your student's successes and we want to wish you all a safe and fun summer Break. It was wonderful to enjoy Prom with our students this past weekend. We had over 70 attendees, making it the largest Prom we have had in the last 4 years. Given all of the previous COVID challenges, we were so happy to provide this opportunity to our students.
We are halfway through the school year and our Juniors will start preparing for college applications soon. Here’s two amazing resources students should continue to take advantage of while preparing for their future.
