Luis Valdez Leadership Academy
LION ROAR
Cooling off with Fall's Arrival
Dear Lions,
With cooler mornings, we are settling into new vibes as we move into the second marking period. I am so proud of the work that Lions have done at the end of the first marking period and look forward to your continued growth and focus in your classes.
Wishing you all a Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! After such a difficult year, it is even more important to celebrate cultural pride and solidarity. Check out this video of the celebration at San Jose City Hall this week. The contributions of Latino leaders are innumerable and are far reaching into American culture, locally and nationally.
We will have a videographer on site to take some new video of the school for promotion. If you see him around, smile (under that mask)!
It was great to welcome students and families to school this week for Back to School Night. Teachers made strong connections with families and understand the commitment we share in preparing each of you for your college and career goals.
Next week are the elections for ASB and other leadership positions. It's great to see the posters around school and I know that our student leaders will help boost our community with the work that you will do. Election day is Tuesday in Advisory.
We have a home volleyball game vs. LCPA on Tuesday night at 7:30pm at the YB gym. Come support the team!
Picture makeup day is this Thursday, Sept 23 at 9am. If you did not get your picture taken, you will be given a pass for your picture. If you would like to retake your photo, please email Mrs. Talisetti.
I will be holding my second Cafecito for families on Zoom this Thursday at 6:30pm. I look forward to sharing successes from first marking period and hearing from families about your experiences this year.
Reminder to fill out the nutrition survey sent home to families this week- we want your input on how to best provide nutritious meals for Lion scholars.
In community,
Ms. Silb
