Taking Risks by OWNING Our Learning- Oct 29, 2023
A Week to Remember
I apologize in advance to our English Language Arts Department for the upcoming run-on sentence. As we lick our wounds getting over the home team not showing up in the NLCS and costing our beloved community the opportunity to celebrate a World Series appearance two years in a row, we turn our attention to what really counts- Seneca- the only home team that matters!
Unity Day
Spirit Week
Flag Football Championship
In a thrilling intramural flag football season, students engaged in a round-robin showdown, pitting their skills and camaraderie against every team in their midst. The competition culminated in a seeded single-elimination tournament, where hopes soared with every pass and interception. But the true climax unfolded on Dominion High School's football field last Wednesday, where the Gorillas emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle against Team Julian. The Gorillas claimed the championship trophy and etched their names into Seneca Ridge intramural glory! Both teams will represent Seneca in the 1st ever middle school championship event this Saturday Nov. 4th at Dominion’s football field!
Attendance is free. Come out and support our students as we challenge LCPS for the Intramural Flag Football title!
Titan for a Day
Our 8th grade chorus and band got the chance to celebrate with Dominion students at Friday's football game as Titan's for a day after a weather cancellation early in the year. Great job Seneca team!
Student Leadership Starts with Service
Elliot Tran started a chapter of P.A.S.T.A (Peers and Students Taking Action). Ryan Hunt, Jack Sanchez & Roy Tannous joined Elliot as members. Last weekend the boys did a cereal drive at Aldi to benefit the Dulles South Food Pantry and it was a huge success! Their sales pitch was so persuasive that the donations cleared the cereal aisle at the store; there wasn't a box left to be found in the cereal aisle when they left! They exceeded their goal to collect 100lbs and reached 112lbs!
We are all so proud of your dedication and humility!
