CHSA Principal Hicks-Highlights this week at CHSA began on Saturday as we proudly cheered on our speller in the county competition. Throughout the week we continued to celebrate literacy with Mrs. Hicks reading to our Read Across America bingo winners. As we wind down the second trimester, students enjoyed engaging activities that kept learning fun and memorable, like making light sabers.
Dos Caminos Principal Waggoner-A highlight at Dos Caminos this week was putting the final preparations and study sessions together for the Camarillo Academic Olympics SuperQuiz. Our team worked incredibly hard while modeling integrity, teamwork, and a positive spirit and they had a lot of fun along the way! We are also excited to defend the Val Rains Sportsmanship Award we proudly earned at the last SuperQuiz, recognizing the school that best demonstrates outstanding sportsmanship and encouragement toward all competing teams. We are so proud of the DCS Da Vinci Delphinidae!
La Mariposa Principal Stepan-Our VIP Bubble Bash was an amazing night filled with music, dancing, and lots of smiles! Thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who helped make the event such a fun and safe experience for our students. Your time, energy, and support truly make events like this possible. A special shoutout to our parent DJ, Mr. Euan - Kidd Spin, for bringing the music and keeping the dance floor full all night long! We are so grateful for our wonderful school community and everyone who helped make this event a success!
Las Colinas Principal Pomerantz-Las Colinas Middle School had a fantastic Career Day this week. A big thank you to our counselors and PTSA for organizing such a meaningful event for our students. Thank you to our guest teachers for volunteering your time for our students; we really appreciate it. Our guest speakers shared their career journeys and gave students a chance to learn about a variety of future opportunities. It was exciting to see students engaged, asking questions, and thinking about their goals beyond middle school. Career Day is an important way to help students connect what they learn in school to the many possibilities ahead.
Las Posas Principal Holtke-There is MUCH to celebrate at LPS, yet the highlight of the week was the Mobile Dairy Classroom Assembly. The Mobile Dairy Classroom brought agricultural education to LPS and taught our students how milk and dairy foods are produced and how they contribute to a healthy lifestyle. All students learned new vocabulary, the anatomy of a cow, how milk goes from the cow to the table, and the importance of healthy eating and physical activity… and let’s face it, just how often does a kiddo from Camarillo get the chance to see a cow up close and personal. A tremendous learning opportunity for all LPS students!
LPSSA Principal Kimberly LePage-What a whirlwind of a week at LPSSA! From a new spirit day each day during Read Across America to celebrating Women in History, our campus was filled with learning, creativity, and school pride. Students had the unique opportunity to meet “guests from the past” who brought influential women in American history to life and shared their lasting impact on our culture. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers who dressed the part and to those who took time out of their day to come read with our students. We truly appreciate your support of literacy and learning at LPSSA.
Monte Vista Principals Green and Magaña- This week, we were deeply honored to be recognized as a California Distinguished School for Closing the Achievement Gap. This recognition reflects the extraordinary dedication, expertise, and heart that our staff bring to their work with students each and every day. Their unwavering commitment to excellence, collaboration, and high expectations ensure that all learners are supported, challenged, and empowered to succeed. Together, they cultivate a school community where every student has the opportunity to thrive and reach their fullest potential. We are profoundly grateful for the passion and professionalism of our educators and staff, whose collective efforts continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and families.
PVSEA Principal Jimenez- This week at PVSEA, we had our Mini Society Shop where students in middle school create a financial plan and developed products to “sell” to others who had Cougar Bucks to spend. It was educational, informational, and FUN! We also enjoyed some outdoor PE earlier in the week (before the weather flipped on us), and we learned about underwater animals at the EEC. Students were excited to receive their Outstanding Cougar Awards on Monday. We had a great PTA meeting and we look forward to combining ELAC and PTA in April. We are getting ready for the Fun Run next week and preparing ahead for our Family Dance in April. Be sure to get your volunteer forms submitted before next week for the Fun Run if you can help out.
Rancho Rosal Principal Dexter -This week things were heating up at The Ranch! We completed our first Read-a-Thon with our Stallions read over 150,000 minutes! Way to go Stallions! A big THANK YOU to Jessica Mueller and our PTA for bringing this fun competition to our Ranch. Our teachers were excited to meet with families this week and discuss our Stallions growth and progress and we close out our 2nd trimester (the year is flying!) this Friday. Walking through our classrooms, students were abuzz discussing the pros and cons of catching a leprechaun and supporting their ideas with reasons in persuasive writing. Finally, we also hosted a Family Math Game Night. THANK YOU Mindy Froelich for supporting our budding mathematicians and to our PTA for bringing ice cream to cool off on such a warm week.
SRTMS Principal Stuart-It’s been a soaring few weeks here on campus! Our 4th‑grade Eagles spread their wings academically with their impressive “‑ology” projects, proudly displaying all the research and creativity they’ve been working so hard on. In the middle school, our Sports Science students took flight with their final egg‑drop experiments. Some eggs landed gracefully, others… well, let’s just say gravity won, but the excitement was sky‑high. We were also thrilled to welcome our local Sheriff’s Office, who swooped in to read to our youngest learners in celebration of Read Across America Week. And of course, our boys basketball team continues to fly above the competition, holding strong in first place in the league. Eagle pride is everywhere right now, and it shows.
Tierra Linda Principal Bakoo-We have been so busy at Tierra Linda the past few weeks! Hawks enjoyed Read Across America, with a school wide read in, dress up days, fun reading themed activities in Makerspace and a community book swap. We loved our celebrity readers and are so appreciative that Camarillo PD and Dr. Cortes joined us for this! Our 4th and 5th graders all had field trips. 4th grade made tortillas and adobe bricks at Olivas Adobe, and 5th graders were in the Situation Room at the Reagan Library. 2nd – 5th Graders continue to enjoy their Friday Enrichment activities, with another session starting up for 2/3 last week and 4/5 this week. Such a fun and engaging way to end the week!
