Families joined us for a workshop to learn about available health insurance options. If you missed it or have questions about the upcoming Covered California enrollment period, please contact Ms. Judith Fernandez for assistance. We want our families to know where to turn for information and support.
On Friday, October 9, 38 seniors visited CSUN for APIDA ROOTS: Representing Our Origins, Traditions, and Stories! Students explored the campus, learned about college resources, and heard from student and faculty panels about support for Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American students. They also enjoyed boba and a performance of Tinikling, a traditional Filipino dance. It was a great opportunity to explore college possibilities while celebrating culture and community!
October is also National Principals Month, and I want to take this opportunity to thank our Assistant Principals for all they do for Marshall. Thanks Ms. Montoya, Ms. Martinez, Ms. Aung, and Mr. Hermosillo. From supporting instruction and helping students to responding to the unexpected, their work keeps our school moving forward every day. Much of that work happens behind the scenes, but it makes a difference across our campus. I am grateful for their dedication, teamwork, and care for our students and staff. Thank you, APs!
October 1–31 is Filipino American History Month! This month recognizes the history, culture, and contributions of Filipino Americans. October was chosen to commemorate the first documented arrival of Filipinos in what is now the continental United States, at Morro Bay, California, on October 18, 1587. As we continue celebrating the cultures that make Marshall special, I encourage families, students, faculty and staff to find opportunities to bring Filipino American stories and experiences into our classrooms and recognize the heritage of our Filipino students, families, and colleagues.
