Thank you to all those who were able to attend Back to School Night.

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival celebrating bonds of love, protection, respect, and care, traditionally symbolized by tying a rakhi bracelet.

In high schools, the tradition can extend beyond siblings, with students tying rakhis for teachers, staff, and other members of the school community as a gesture of appreciation, respect, connection, and mutual care.

The Mira Loma Parent Organization (ML PO) is beginning our Annual Campaign to raise funds that support our school. Last year, we were able to provide over $5000.00 in grants so teachers, staff, and student clubs could purchase items like notebooks and school supplies for in English and Math, cooking items for the Food Science class, monologue books for Drama, storage supplies for Track & Field, and pop-up tents for various presentations and more! We're hoping to raise $5,000.00 so we can do it again, but we need your help.

Please join us at our next meeting on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30 in the Science building Flex space, and donate here any time: https://miralomaibpo.square.site

We are so excited for the locker room renovation project. Each student will have their own locker which will fit a backpack and/or athletic bag. Padlocks are being ordered and issued to each student. Thank you to our very own ASB for purchasing the locks.

Students-Come support Mira Loma Sports!

ASB Cards are on sale at the finance office for $40. If a student has an ASB Card, they can get into all of the Mira Loma home games for any sporting event. Students can also purchase a Sports Punch Pass for $20. This will be a discounted pass that will allow student entry into 10 Mira Loma sporting events.

Please make sure you are using the designated student drop off area in the student parking lot. The entrance for student drop off is on Becerra Way. Please do not drop off students on Edison Avenue or Norris Avenue. CHP and Safe Schools will be patrolling this area. Thank you for your cooperation!
