We have so many wonderful things happening on each of our campuses–
BAGBY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Bagby 4th grader Jayden Leaokittikul won two art contests from Santa Clara County Office of Education. He won the My Name, My Identity Art Contest 2022 and the Young Artist Showcase 4th Grade: People’s Choice Award.
FAMMATRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Fammatre’s 4th and 5th graders had an opportunity to volunteer to be a part of the school's Safety Squad. Four afternoons a week, four helpful students assist with the dismissal of 1st-3rd graders at Fammatre. Excellent job, Fammatre students!
FARNHAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Farnham’s students walked almost 2,000 miles in two hours at their recent Walkathon. Also, Farnham’s My Name, My Identity had 145 students share about their name and the Multicultural Fair had 25 countries represented by 34 students. It was fantastic!
PRICE MIDDLE SCHOOL
At Price, the Percussion ensemble competed in three different circuits this year and went undefeated at all their competitions. Price’s Color Guard is the only middle school in the South Bay with a Color Guard team, and they placed first among seven middle school teams. We are very proud of you!
SARTORETTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Sartorette’s community celebrated Earth Day recently with campus beautification on Saturday, April 23rd. Special thanks to staff and volunteers who worked together to spruce up the garden, prune plants around campus, and make it look great!
STEINDORF STEAM SCHOOL
Two Steindorf STEAM School eighth graders earned scores that ranked nationally in the AMC 8 Math Competition. Nationally, Leo Chernyakhovskiy scored in the top 1% and Amber Lin scored in the top 5%.

In the next week or so, you’ll be receiving the Cambrian Connection, our printed newsletter that is mailed to homes in the neighborhood twice a year, sharing about the amazing achievements of our students and schools. I hope you enjoy it and share all our great news with friends and neighbors.
