Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. SOURCE

We are currently recruiting students for the 2022 Marching Band. The marching band performs at all home football games, local parades and will also compete in a field show competition. Color guard, percussionists, woodwind, and brass players are all invited to join. If you would like more information about this ensemble, or would like to participate please talk to Mr. Dunsmoor in Rm. 160.

UPCOMING SPORTING EVENTS: See WEEK OF SPORT

Five Cities Youth Baseball League: Volunteer opportunities offered on the website. We are a 501.3C organization and have shifts in the snack bar that count for community service hours. Shifts are typically 2 hours, but we can do longer if needed. It's basic food service/cash handling during little league games in Pismo at the Frady Lane sports complex. Let me know if we can get listed for the summer tournament season. We have a brief fall season and a busy spring program. A few of our volunteers have been gromAG high already, we just didn't know we could advertise until now. There will also be a need for volunteers to do field prep and maintenance for the beginning of the season. We can arrange if someone doesn't want snack shack hours. You can contact Marie Bussacco at retail@fivecitiesyouthbaseball.com

The Google Form for Community Service Hours is used for the graduation requirement of 20 hours. Any hours in addition to your graduation requirement should be submitted on the Give Back 250 Google Classroom with Mr. Hurtado.

REMINDERS: STAFF: Wear your ID when on campus.

TEACHER PARTICIPATION: As case managers and counselors are setting up meetings with students with Fs, it is absolutely vital and expected that all teachers participate in IEP, 504 and SST meetings. It is imperative that you provide your feedback and participation...a sub can be provided if needed, just let the case manager know. Please indicate on the calendar invite why you can’t make it if you decline.
