Friday Launch
Friday, October 11, 2019
Happy Friday La Mesa Staff,
What a week! An unexpected minimum day and a no school day. So grateful that everyone was able to stay safe. Apologies for the lateness of getting this out to you.
Thank you for all you do!

Fall Family Fun Night
We are looking for a new date for our Fall Family Fun Night. Stay tuned!
Classified Employee of the Year
Instructional Assistant Eddie Figueroa was honored at the October 2nd Board Meeting along with other Classified Employees of the year from throughout the Hart District. Eddie works in our Learning Strategies program (formally referred to as SC5). If you have not had the chance to interact with him, so so! His energy and positive attitude is infectious and is certainly a big reason he was selected by our staff. Congratulations Eddie!
ASB Step it Up Fundraiser
Please be talking up and encouragings student participation in the Step it Up Fundraiser. This fundraiser pays for many of our student recognition programs including Student of the Month and Honor Roll recognition. It also supports assemblies such as Teen Truth (new date coming). And part of the funds supports team activities. It was a slow start with the technical difficulties, so please really hype it up with your students. See the incentives kids get below.
PBIS - All Lobos H.O.W.L.
Our students are really enjoying earning HOWL Tickets. Thank you to everyone that filled out the survey. This week on WEDNESDAY they can use their tickets at the HOWL Store. The HOWL Store is located at the Wolverines core door. Students can also use 3 tickets to gain entry into the first HOWL Dance on November 1st during lunch. The dance will accommodate the first 100 students. And of course, the HOWL Hut is still available as an incentive. HOWL if you need more tickets! Be sure to connect their earning one to the H.O.W.L. matrix for maximum impact.
