April 20th 2018 (this Thursday) ALL DAY SCHOOL WALKOUT/SENIOR DITCH DAY

This walkout is an all day walkout from school. It is for the anniversary of Columbine High School. Seniors have decided its senior ditch day. The latter came before the former.

I understand Senior ditch day is a right of passage however missing a whole day of school has several consequences ranging from missing instruction, not being allowed to make up work, unexcused absence so you have to go to Saturday school and all the things that would happen if you missed any other day please encourage your children to come to school so they don't have to go to Saturday school!


IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES: 

Please make sure you are referring to our calendar. 

"A Piece of my heart" a Spring play by our new Theater teacher Aaron Blokker debuted last week and it was one of the best plays I have ever seen. Please if you have time come and see it. It is so worth it!

YOGA ON CAMPUS!!!

Hi All,

I’m excited to announce we’ll be starting yoga at Serra Real Connections in Room 230! We will meet every Wednesday from 2-3 pm.

We’ll emphasize breathing techniques, mindfulness and some physical postures to promote mind-body wellness. Research has shown numerous benefits for teenagers, and all people really, including increased ability to focus, reduction of anxious feeling and stress, and with practice an easier time relaxing. In addition, yoga is wonderful for strength and flexibility.


Students may pick up a consent and liability release form from room 230.  I have attached copies of the flyer, consent and release of liability forms

Pasta for Pennies!
The Board just met with Mr. Watanabe from Pasta for Pennies yesterday. Serra High has participated in this campaign since 2013. In order to turn this into a successful fundraiser, we need your help.

Each of the classrooms (we think around 70) will be receiving a box for collection of funds, a flyer explaining the program, and a goal sheet. The awards to the classrooms are: Bronze flag for $100, Silver for $200 and Gold for $300. The class that collects the most will get a pasta party from Olive Garden.


The dates of the campaign are from April 9-April 29th.

Lets make a strong donation to a good cause of helping those with Leukemia.
