Student Diversity Retreats:
We completed the second daylong retreat for our students from both campuses this school year to help build leadership in regards to diversity and our inclusive environment. Our goal is to provide activities, discussion, and collaboration on the challenges and benefits that diversity brings. Our retreat was held on Friday, March 1, 2019 at the Almond Campus.

A-Team Winners:
Our staff recognizes students each month who exhibit one or more of the pillars of our A-Team, which include:

Attendance – This is a dedication to being at school, in class, on time, each day.
Attitude – This is a focus on choosing to get better every day.  To choose an attitude that makes yourself and others better.
Academics – This is a focus on taking active ownership of your learning and making positive progress academically.
Acceptance – This is an appreciation for the diversity in our world and valuing the assets diversity brings to our community. It is a commitment to treating others as you would want to be treated; and even better, getting to know others so you can treat them how they want to be treated.
Athletics/Activities – This is an engagement in the opportunities outside of the classroom that enhance student connectedness and contributions to our school community.

I am proud to recognize the following students who we honored on February 28, 2019, at our monthly A-Team breakfast at the Almond Campus.
