Welcome To Week 34!
Dear Brahma Family,
I hope everyone who attended Saturday night’s Junior Senior Prom, Gilded in Gold had a fantastic time. The Class of 2025 planned and organized the event in the Chandelier Room at Santa Anita Park. It was an elegant night reminiscent of old Hollywood, with many fun activities for the students who attended. Thank you to the Class of 2025 and their class advisors: Dawn Daza, Alexis Feix, and Jazmine Silver, it was an unforgettable night. Thank you also to all the staff members who came out on a Saturday night to support the event (see photo).
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
David Hong
Principal
