A Word From Your Principal
Happy New Year Jaguars. We are refreshed and excited to be back for the second half of our year. As we enter into the new year, I want to highlight some of the great things that happened on our campus in the first part of our year:
Love Our Schools Day: Several families and volunteers came to together to help "beautify" campus. Teachers truly appreciated coming back to wonderful letters and thank you cards as well as clean patios and work spaces.
Teacher Grants: Several teachers applied for and received grants for their classrooms supplying them with additional resources for our students. One teacher received a grant totaling over $10,000 for technology. It takes a great deal of time and effort to write these grants and we are so proud of our teachers who take the time to provide more for our students.
Sports: Our fall and winter sports did remarkably well and our Girls' Soccer worked their way to becoming the 19/20 Champions! Way to go athletes! Thank you to all of the coaches and families who came out to support our sports programs!
Band and Strings: As always, Mr. Bruce Legge works diligently with our students to produce outstanding musicians. His talents and efforts never go overlooked and our students are definitely benefiting from his dedication. A standing ovation goes out to all of our musicians who performed beautifully at our Winter Concerts. We are so proud of all of you!
Partnerships: We have partnered with several members of the community to provide our students with more opportunities for social and emotional growth. Thank you to the following partners: Touchstone-Who provides on-site counseling to our students; The Refuge Church-for your volunteerism; Hacienda Del Ray-for your partnership and recent Christmas Tree Auction/Fundraiser; CCV-for your volunteerism; and to our Jaguar Booster Club-for our chair massages, wonderful meals, and thoughtful gifts. We truly appreciate each and everyone of you and look forward to growing our partnerships. If you or your company are interested in partnering with our school, please click the "Contact Us" link below.
Day to Day: Finally, I'd just like to recognize the teachers, staff, students, and families who come to school everyday and pour 110% into all that they do.
