The first semester came to an end with a bang!

We had a great close to the first semester with two very successful fundraising events. First, the Young Artist’s Auction was a great success. Our student artists brought in just over $1,200 for our school. Please remember to visit the Art Sonia website to view the student’s work and to purchase items for yourself, your family, or friends.  Then, the Christmas program brought in another $1,100 for our school through ticket sales to family and friends. I want to express my most heartfelt thanks to all of you for your participation in these events. Lastly, the first semester went out with our Crusader’s Basketball team winning a total of 4 regular season games; 3 in a row at the end of the season. We won one additional game in the Tournament and finished the season tied for 3rd place overall!

Now, we turn our attention to the second semester. This launches an entire new set of important events for you to remember. Girl’s Volleyball kicks off with a home game on Friday, January 29th at 6:30pm. Please make plans to be in attendance for this game. As usual, there is no charge for admittance to our athletic events. February will bring our annual Rock-A-Thon, scheduled for Friday, February 19th. This is a very important fundraiser specifically for our athletic programs. March will bring our annual Science Fair and the open house event on Friday, March 26th at 7pm. April brings the annual WCBC Youth Conference, scheduled for April 7th through 8th, in Lancaster, California. May is packed with activities: Human Race event on Saturday, May 8th; 12th Annual Sports Banquet on Monday, May 10th; Friday, May 21st is our annual school-wide field trip (location TBA); Academics Awards presentations on Wednesday, May 26th at 9am; Kindergarten Graduation on Thursday, May 27th at 7pm; Last day of school on Friday, May 28th at noon, and High School Graduation on Friday, May 28th at 7pm.
