This week, we recognize National School Bus Safety Week, dedicated to promoting the safety of our students on and around school buses. It’s a great time to remind everyone—drivers, students, and families—about the importance of staying alert, following bus safety rules, and being extra cautious at bus stops. Let’s work together to ensure a safe and smooth ride for all our students! Thank you to our hardworking bus drivers and transportation staff for ensuring our students are safe!

This year, our school celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with a lively mix of culture and school spirit! Students learned about inspiring Hispanic Americans through special morning announcements. On Fridays, we showed our spirit by hosting Spirit Fridays with different themes. We also kicked off our new Spanish Club, Klippers en Acción, where students can explore foods, dances, and traditions. It was a fun, cultural celebration that connected us all!

Below are some updates from the Willow Dale Art Room. Students are working on some impressive works of art!

In the 7th and 8th grade STEM classes, students have successfully completed the Tool and Shop Safety Module. They designed wooden puzzles, utilizing tools such as tape measures and speed squares to mark their wood blocks. They learned to use a sliding miter saw for cutting, palm sanders for smoothing, and templates for tracing. Additionally, they drilled pilot holes with a drill press, cut out the puzzle shapes with a scroll saw, and finished their projects by cutting one block into three pieces using a bandsaw.
