Happy Lunar New Year!
This year the Lunar New Year also known as Chinese New Year was on January 28. Each year, there is an animal associated with the New Year. This year, is the year of the Rooster.
Chinese families will get together and have a dinner, much like we do for Thanksgiving. It is also traditional for all members of the family to thoroughly cleanse the house to clean out the old and bring in the new energy. It is a very important time for Asian cultures and we want to wish all a happy Chinese New Year!
Help SAHS Leadership's Fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
On Monday, February 6, the San Antonio High School leadership class will begin a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for this very worthy cause. Each day for two weeks, we will be coming into fifth period classes to collect donations. The following day, the class who donated the most money will be announced in our daily announcements, and the overall winner for the two weeks will win a pizza party.
We hope you all will join us in donating. If you are interested in making a donation, you may also bring your donation to the main office.
We look forward to meeting and even possibly exceeding our $1000 goal. Our February newsletter will announce the total raised as well as the winning class. The SAHS leadership class thanks you in advance for your generosity!

La Rosca
This is an occasion where family and friends get together in their offices or homes on or about January 6.
This tradition of eating together and sharing Rosca de Reyes bread with a hot chocolate to remember the Holy Kings, has a fun surprise. Inside the bread is a small plastic baby Jesus. Whoever gets the piece in his or her bread then must host a dinner of tamales and atole to the guests who were at the Día de Reyes get together.

Loneliness Is Grey
by Orion LeGore
It happens;
when you least suspect it,
it fills with a sadness that is impossible to describe.
It sounds;
like the silence of a desert on a record breakingly hot day.
It feels;
Like showing up to school and it's a three day weekend.
