I would like to thank Ms. Yanez for facilitating with the purchase (and often transportation) of just about anything fun that happens at this school. From Bulldog Cafe eggs and bacon to Science marshmallows to concession stand Gatorade and chips. Ms Yanez makes all of our lives and jobs easier! My appreciation flows from my heart and my tummy! <3 <3 <3

Thank you to Mr. Barron! He is our newest Applied math teacher. He had taught both math and ELA in an elementary school. He has shared classroom books with me. He has given me and Mr. W reading and writing workshop books to use in our instruction. He has even fixed my classroom projector. Wish we could steal him for ELA!

Shout out to Ms. Pereida. Having her co-teach with me 1 period is such a blessing, not just to me and her "assigned" students, but to the entire class! She brings a positive and a "yes you can" attitude that encourages students to do their best. Thank you for being such an amazing team player and leader.
- Mariah Faust
Thank you, Ms. Anders, Mr. Esparza, and Ms. Estrada for coming in clutch for the SPED team this week. We needed back-up support, and they willingly provided it!
