It was an unusually warm start to our second semester, with short sleeves making a comeback and students basking in the sun...
High Five Everyone!
The staff have started a new recognition system, they're giving high fives! Around the school these handprints will be put up throughout the rest of the year, for students getting recognized by staff for a number of things, including attendance, behavior, effort and improvement. Students earning the high five awards will be put into a drawing each month for different prizes, including lunch with the Principal, and donated items like Warrior gear, sports bags, mp3 players, etc.

The Warriors hosted an all-Spanish College Night for Spanish Speaking families, with over 150 people in attendance.

Congrats to Ms Socorro Lomas and all who put this great event together!
Performing Arts on a Roll
The Legally Blonde rehearsals have begun! The cast is excited and energetic and working on a very quick time schedule to get this monster show off the ground! With Mr. Carter at the helm of music direction, cast learned hard harmonies all week to get the pop-style soundtrack to come alive. Watch for more progress to come! Elle Woods is to be played by McKenna Duncan (11th grade), Warner Huntington III will be played by Senior Matt Boer, and Emmett Forrest is to be played by Senior Devin Rader. OMG you guys!!
Junior Rachel Gephart has been serving as a technical crew member for YV productions for 3 years now, and she just started an internship with the Lesher Center tech staff as a lighting design assistant! Lighting Designer David Lam has taken Rachel under his wing for the Diablo Theater Company production of Guys and Dolls, set to open on February 7th, and Rachel has been in the booth learning Gobos, lighting cues, programming, and more. Great job Rachel!
Our own Performing Arts Director, Kelly Cooper, has one more weekend dancing in the PCRT production of 'A Chorus Line', closing Sunday February 9th at the Pleasanton Firehouse. The show has been receiving fantastic reviews, and Ms. Cooper has had a blast being back on stage and looks forward to doing another show soon! See it while you can! www.pcrtproductions.org
