HECTOR of the Week
JH - Bobby Rich --> Bobby has been doing a much better job at getting work done and staying on task. He has been
respectful and coachable in class and has been tolerant of those around him.
HS - Isaiah Gallegos is very respectful and dependable, and sets a good example for others. He gets all of his work done
on time and is coachable. Isaiah is also very willing to share his knowledge and peer coach in class. These qualities show
that he is a wonderful example of HECTOR.
Staff - The kitchen staff stay busy prepping healthy food and they are always walking around with a smile. We appreciate
all the hard work that each one of you do on a daily basis, making sure all students and staff get fed. Thank you!

Congratulations LAHS Junior, Emily Nevland, for winning the SFTD People's Choice Award on her T-Shirt Design!

Kennedi Olson, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Coys class, participated in State Gymnastics this past weekend. Kennedi had an outstanding performance and had an all around impressive score of 39.150/40.00 to which put her second overall in her age bracket! Out of all the girls, any age, competing in the session, Kennedi took 6th out of roughly 100 girls. Kennedi is National bound and we are so excited to see her outcome! Way to go!
