Point Break at Golden West

Submitted by: Sheri Gates Golden West Prinicipal
We are proud of our students and their focus on learning to Stop, Think, and Act.” Joel from Point Break brought two powerful programs to students attending Golden West. The program selected, “Violence & Spilled Milk,” was for students in grades 3rd-5th. It reminded us that every person is responsible for his or her own actions, and each one of us must learn to control our emotional response to anger. Students learned behavioral tools such as “Stop, Think, and Act” and were warned of the impact actions can have on others. “Bad Timing” was the program for students in 6th-8th grade. It raised awareness to the crucial impact bullying and
cyberbullying has in the lives of people of all ages. Students learned ways that they could make a positive impact against bullying and cyberbullying. As Joel left Golden West he shared, “What great students! Truly, very impressed by your students!” The Golden West 49er’s strive daily to live the mantra, “Pride in yourself, Pride in your school, Pride in everything you do!” We are proud of our students and their focus on learning to “Stop, Think and Act” in a way that makes a positive difference for all.

Lincoln Students Aim Higher
Submitted by: Mahlon Lott Lincoln Junior High Science Teacher
This has been our culminating project for our 8th grade science section on “Motion and Force� for the past 6 years. Students are tasked with creating a bottle rocket out of a plastic two liter bottle.
Students are tasked with creating a bottle rocket out of a plastic two liter bottle.
This is a two-person project where students can search the internet for information on how to construct the rocket, then create a rocket that can launch itself to the highest point possible. The propellant used is 400 ML of water and 40 PSI air pressure. Students can attach anything they would like to the rocket. However, if students have a cone and parachute that deploys during launch, they receive extra credit. With our results taken during the
launch, we show the forces that were applied to the rocket and how much gravitational force it had to overcome to be able to launch. Overall winners are selected from each class based on the apex of their rocket’s flight. These students receive both extra credit and a prize. This project is implemented before Thanksgiving, and we invite the school out to observe the activity. Our STEM elective class conducts the activity and launches their own model rockets at the very end. STEM students are graded based on their participation and successful launch of their model rocket.

PTC raised money to help support school events. George Komure’s Parent Teacher Club held our Annual Walk/Jog-A-Thon and it was another huge success! Participants ranging from students, teachers, support staff, and parent volunteers got involved. The PTC raised money to help support school events, field trips, and materials for programs that enhance student learning. Raising awareness of the importance of exercise on a regular basis is a key component of this event. We want to thank all of the volunteers and staff who lend a hand in making this event bigger and better every year.

Twelve WRHS advanced art student’s artworks were displayed at a national level juried high school art show in North Lake Tahoe November 30th. This is a huge achievement for these students. A juried show means that they are not guaranteed entry to the show, their artwork must be chosen. There were approximately 100 attendees throughout the night made up of students, parents, teachers, and the faculty of Sierra Nevada College.
All that attended were impressed by the level of artwork our students submitted. Featured students included: Alex Cazares, Tyler Blea, Isis Camacho, Samantha Casarez, Mariana Espinoza, Justice Stitt, Shannen Posadas, Lauren Alfaro, Jella Batac, Annel Mercado, Manuel Montes, and Carolina Mendez.

GECAC After School Advantage Program Wellness Competition Submitted by: Oscar Munguia Give Every Child a Chance Program Director
“It opened my eyes on where the food I eat comes from.” Students at Give Every Child A Chance After School Advantage Program participate in a Wellness Competition twice a year as part of the Health Education Program. Students and staff work together to create a wall, magazine, or a video of their chosen topics. Through this project, students learn about different health topics, as well as the value of teamwork to create their project. Some of the topics chosen by students in the past have been: reducing screen
time, sugary drinks, effects of fast food media, healthy eating on a budget, and most recently, where does our food come from. “I loved working on the wellness wall because it opened my eyes on where the food I eat comes from,” said August Knodt student Angel Chavez. Students also create informational handouts, which are distributed to parents at the program regarding their chosen topic.

Manteca Buffaloes Varsity Football Team are D-3 Section Champions
Submitted by: Fernanda Almaguer Community Outreach Intern
“We came out and played like we were hungry.”
On December 1st, 2017—under Friday night lights and the stands packed at Lincoln High’s Spanos Stadium— Manteca High School’s varsity football team defeated rival Oakdale High 34-17 for the San Joaquin Division III Section title. This is the sixth overall section title for the Buffs. Manteca High and Oakdale High have been long rivals for more than 90 years and both teams are considered the best two teams in the VOL.
With that said, Friday’s game was a big deal considering the Buffaloes lost against the Mustangs 36-15 early in the season and were not expected to make a comeback.
According to running back Michael Frisby, “We came in with the idea of revenge and the excitement to play a great game in the hope of beating our real rivals.” That’s exactly what Manteca High accomplished. Star player Jorge Cedano, scored two touchdown catches helping the Buffaloes secure their 6th section title. According to junior lineman Jorge Cedano, winning another section title, “feels great! There’s no other feeling like this.” “Our game plan was really good, but it wasn’t only the game plan,” Manteca linebacker Ferrin Manuleleua said to the Manteca Bulletin reporter. “It was our attitude. Everybody doubted us.

“Winning another section ring...I couldn’t feel more blessed.” Nobody gave us a chance to beat them. That just sat with us wrong. We came out and played like we were hungry.” Friday’s game was suspenseful throughout the whole game, with Oakdale taking the lead at half time and Manteca sealing the game right before it ended. The Bulletin also reported that quarterback Gino Campiotti connected with eight different
receivers, finishing 19 of 26 for 251 yards and five touchdowns. “Our receiving corps is the best I’ve ever seen,” Campiotti said to the Bulletin. “I have five different guys, maybe six, that I can go to at any time and know they’re going to make a big play. The connection is just there, and we’re playing good football.” Head coach of Manteca High’s varsity football team, Eric Reis stated,
“Winning another section ring is a feeling that not a lot of people get to feel and I couldn’t feel more blessed.” Manteca High’s Sac-Joaquin Section Division III championship football team has been paired with St. Francis of Mountain View for the CIF State Division II-A Northern California Regional Bowl Game, which takes place at Guss Schmiedt Field this Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

SHS Freshman 101 Career Fair

“It made me realize the potential that I have. I take my education a lot more seriously now.” Below: Parents and students fill the Sierra High School cafeteria at last year’s Career Fair Night.
Above: Fabian Barba displays his Ideal Career Project on marketing at last year’s Career Fair Night.
Freshman year can be a scary one for a lot of students. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the reality of another four years in school before becoming an adult, but luckily, there is a class for that! Success 101 is a required course for all incoming freshmen, and the program progresses with the students as they move into their sophomore, junior, and senior year. This is to ensure that they will have a plan for the future, rather than graduating and not having a plan for their next life step. On Thursday, November 30th, there was a Career Fair night in which parents came to see their student’s Ideal Career Project. This project displays
research on the student’s desired career, as well as what the job entails. “Students showcase their ‘ideal career’ projects to parents at the Career Fair night. We talk about skills, and we talk about career goals for students,” said Mrs. Fast, the Sierra Get Focused Stay Focused Coordinator. “It’s not like a typical research-a-career kind of project. It matches the career to the student and their personalities.” Priscilla Maldonado, is glad to have Success 101 as one of her classes. “It made me realize the potential that I have. I take my education a lot more seriously now.” A total of 90 students attended, and an estimated 80 parents and community members came as well. The focus of the night was on the parents, who were given parent planners that coordinate with their child’s career and future.

Building Telescopes at LHS Submitted by: Jessika McCuaig Community Outreach Intern
“I learned how to work productively as a team, honestly.”
LHS’s astronomy classes have been busy building telescopes. Jeffrey Baldwin has required his third and fourth period classes to build these scopes out of the materials he provides, as well as fix any of the scopes that were made from the previous school year. First, he had his class improve the older telescopes to get a feel for how they work. Soon enough, the whole class started creating their own. Baldwin provides his own mirrors that he makes in his shop for the students’ scopes. The goal is to get all the telescopes ready and running by the end of the term, so students who want to gaze at the stars can take the liberty upon themselves to check out a scope.
Right: The nearly completed studentbuilt telescope.
How the telescope building process works: students are given an optical tube with the optics, focuser, and eyepiece already attached. They need to sand down some wood into circles that would hold their mirror. Then, Baldwin helps them calculate where exactly the mirror needs to
be placed in the tube for optimum optics. Students then need to fashion a connecter box, rocker box, and ground board. Although the process sounds strenuous, it is fairly simple; just as the reason behind the task. “[Astronomy is] better to observe it for real than to read about it,” said Baldwin. “Students won’t learn from watching, they’ll learn by doing.” When asked what they learned from building telescopes, senior Juan Luna said, “I learned how to work productively as a team, honestly.” “Also, just the general knowledge of how a telescope works,” adds senior Rheina Robles. “Before starting this project, I had no idea how a telescope functioned; all those mirrors, the finder, the scope, everything. Learning about every piece’s function was most definitely cool.” “I think the most fun part was the power tools,” said Luna. “Of course, there was always the fear of getting hurt, but Baldwin was always there to aid and teach us.” The two classes are on track to finish the scopes before winter break.

MUSD and the Hour of Code
Submitted by: Kathy Ruble Director of CTE and STEM
On the week of December 4-8, many MUSD students participated once again in the annual Hour of Code. According to hourofcode.com, The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code”, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906). Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.
The Hour of Code is driven by an unprecedented coalition of partners that have come together to support the Hour of Code — including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the College Board. Code.org tutorials work on all devices and browsers. Tech needs for nonCode.org tutorials can be found on code.org/learn in the tutorial specific description. Besides the students, another “learner” is the educator who gains the confidence after one hour that they can teach computer science even though they may not have a college degree as a computer scientist. Tens of thousands of teachers decide to pursue computer science further, either attending professional development or offering follow-on Online courses, or both.

AIA Sierra Valley Award for Design Merit 2017: Shasta Elementary Submitted by: Facilities Department The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Sierra Valley Chapter encompasses eight counties in central California. They are actively involved in many issues that affect their membership community, such as: education, housing, urban and rural design, building standards, public awareness, legislative issues and environmental safeguards. Their awards are given on a biannual basis. The criteria of the Design Merit award are: 1. Projects must be within the last five years 2. Projects are reviewed by a jury of architects for design excellence of Interior Projects, New Construction, Renovations, Planning and Tenant Improvements
Construction Budget Total New Square Footage Phased Construction Time
The Shasta Elementary School Expansion was submitted for this award by TPH Architects because the new layout promotes a strong campus identity and creates real and perceived student security. The relocation of the Administration Office to the front of the campus has created a clear and controlled point of public access. Relocating the kindergarten wing to the back of the campus has insulated Shasta’s young students within the campus.
The jury of architects commented that the Shasta Elementary School Expansion efficiently modernized an antiquated campus layout to thrive in a modern world and has created a welcoming environment.

Fundamentals of leadership
D e p ar t m e n t N ew s
•
Ethics of positive leadership
•
Qualities of a “servant leader”
•
Importance of communication skills in effective leadership
