November and a Month of Gratitute
With November here, I encourage your family to spend the entire month celebrating the spirit of gratitude! If there is anything that came from the pandemic, it is a greater sense of what we are truly thankful for. Spend the month of November modeling and practicing with our Cheetah Scholars gratitude in action.
Here's a family friendly 30 Days of Gratitude calendar for our One Vista families.

As Seen on Campus!
Mrs. Avalos and her kindergarten scholars spent some time in the sunshine reading and coloring with their 6th grade buddies from Mrs. Poulin's class. Vista La Mesa is quite the unique campus, as the only in-person campus in the Lemon Grove School District spanning preschool to 8th grade. This means our older scholars can mentor and create learning opportunities with our younger cheetahs. In the process our "Big Buddies" build compassion, empathy, and have the chance to apply their content learning.
We are proud to see our Peer Buddy program take off in true, One Vista fashion!
Check out the Cheetah Chess Club
The newly formed Chess Club meets to teach, learn, and apply their strategic thinking while also building new friendships through play. Thank you, Mrs. Madrid for hearing the voice of our scholars and creating a space where their genius and heart can be amplified!
A Fruitful Fall Harvest
Just take a look at what's in season in the garden!
Pumpkins, zucchini, squash, persimmons, apples, basil, mint, and much more!
Congratulation to Hugo!
Upcoming Parent Meetings
