Make the Most of the Break!

We know you’re on vacation from school but we highly
recommend that students still do some reading
over the winter break. It is recommended that students
read a minimum of 20 minutes every day. To stay on top of math, a reminder that students can do iReady lessons on their Chromebooks.

When we return from break, students will take their mid-year iReady diagnostic to show how much progress they've made this year.
 
resources

Food Resources Available in Our Community

We understand that maintaining food security can be of concern for many families over the break. Please know that you are not alone, and there are local resources available to help.

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with groceries or meals, please utilize and share these important resources:

We encourage you to share these resources with any friends, family, or neighbors you know are in need. Supporting each other is what makes our community strong.
 

Hawk of the Week

Stellar Staff Member

Seeno

Sam Seeno

We are proud to announce Mr. Sam Seeno as our Hawk of the Week! Nominated by his fellow staff members, Mr. Seeno has done a spectacular job stepping into the role of ASB Director this year. Taking on such a pivotal position is no small feat, and he has shown incredible dedication to learning the ropes while ensuring that our school’s most cherished traditions remain stronger than ever.

What truly sets Mr. Seeno apart is his commitment to student voice. He meets with students daily, actively soliciting their input and ideas to ensure that school events truly reflect what the student body wants to see. His collaborative approach has not only empowered our student leaders but has also led to tangible success; thanks to his guidance and fresh fundraising strategies, our recent Popcorn Sale reached a record-breaking number of sales.

From organizing the Beach Trip and Rec Nights to coordinating Spirit Weeks, school dances, and daily lunchtime activities, Mr. Seeno and his ASB students are doing a phenomenal job. Their hard work has boosted student engagement across the board, making our campus a more vibrant and fun place to be. Thank you, Mr. Seeno, for your tireless efforts to build a community where every student can feel involved!
