With everything that's gone on in the past couple year it's really taught me to make the most of everything. With our homecoming ceremony his year, it got to feel a bit more natural than things have been. I really
enjoyed getting to dress up and be with my friends and just getting to celebrate being a senior as well. I could tell by the gleaming smiles on people's faces that we all had a great time not only participating in the homecoming
spirit week, but getting to be a part of this year's homecoming court. Congratulations to everyone on this year's court and congratulations to Dakotah and Britney for being this year's homecoming king and queen!
The Julian Woman’s Club will present the 95th Annual Wildflower Show at the Julian Woman’s Club located at 2607 C St. Julian, CA. The show will be April 30th thru May 1st 10:00 to 4:00 daily. Due to COVID, the Wildflower Show is scaled down and following the guidelines presently imposed by the State of California but will still include the beauty of the various flowers that have made the show a success over its 95 years. The club members collect specimens from over 850 plant species in the area surrounding Julian. This year, the plant displays will be collected from the Cuyamaca Mountains and will also include the historic old mining town of Julian, Kentwood 1 & 2, Whispering Pines, Julian Pines and Pine Hills and Wynola. Permission to collect is obtained from private property owners. Each year flowers vary depending on weather and rainfall. The display is always colorful and informative as plants are labeled and arranged by area of origin. This year’s show is not just about beautiful flowers. It will focus on how we as a community can nurture these jewels by learning about the plants, conservation efforts, bees in our environment and what grows best in our climate and region. We will educate the public about our region, purposes of wildflowers, and how we can all have some of these jewels in our own backyards. The show will include displays of local school art and science projects related to flowers, expert gardening tips, The Volcan Mountain Foundation and information on our environment. We will also have items for sale including deer resistant wildflower seeds, books, plants, country store boutique items and opportunities to enter the Quilt Raffle. Admission is free, but donations are gladly accepted as the Julian Woman’s Club provides scholarships and supports other local nonprofit organizations.

Learning about science in class, then experiencing science on Volcan Mountain! Thanks to the VMF our fifth grade has had their first science lab about Watersheds and the habitats they create! Our “classroom” walls have become blurry as we have first-hand adventures in science! Thank you to all that contributed! At Julian Elementary School, they are not trying to return to “normal” after dealing with the effects of the pandemic,
they are returning “better than ever!” Teachers are looking for innovative ways to engage students and keep them learning, so Mrs. McFedries is excited to be making changes to her fifth grade lesson plans that include a collaboration with the Volcan Mountain Foundation. The fifth graders completed the first of two science labs that are a joint effort of lessons in the classroom and hands-on experiences on Volcan Mountain. Lead by Greg Schuett
and Susan Meyers, the students became scientists exploring watersheds and the habitats that they create during the outdoor learning labs. ”Our classroom walls have become blurry,” Mrs. McFedries comments, “as our book and paper lessons become active adventures in science!” The second “adventure” is scheduled for April 28th and more collaboration is in the works for next year.
