Good Morning River Hawk Families,

Well, that Ground Hog sure got it right this year and winter is not going away! While the cold, rain, and snow flurries have been a lot for us in Santa Clarita, I don't think anyone will argue the snow pack in our mountains is a wonderful thing for our California drought. Although, it being spread out a little more would have definitely been helpful for those living there!

Congratulations to Ms. Pulaski's homeroom and the Blue House for winning our Friday House Activity! They spelled 76 words out of River Hawks. Impressive!

Our Science Olympiad advisor was contacted this week to notify him that our Rio Team 1, who earned 7th place actually won 5th place due to calculation errors made! While Team 2 is still the only one to advance to State, we are so excited and proud of our students on Team 1 and wanted to acknowledge this error and celebrate them!

There is quite a bit to share in this newsletter, so be sure to scroll all the way down so that you don't miss anything! As a reminder, the 8th grade Universal Trip deadline is this Friday, March 10th by 3 p.m.
