Mr. Jose Luis Menendez
Secondary Principal
Dear Secondary Families,
Our two-week break is upon us and I know that many of us are ready to take a break from the routine of school to recharge the batteries for the final sprint to the finish line of the school year.
As we finish off this week by hosting the AASCA Volleyball tournament, I wanted to thank all the parent volunteers who have helped the tournament run smoothly and safely. It has been a great way to show off-campus. This was actually our first AASCA event the new campus has hosted and we hope to be able to host more in the future.
I’d especially like to thank Glenda Pearson, our Athletic Director for the incredible work she put into organizing this tournament. The work she does behind the scenes to ensure that our students have the best athletic experiences possible is amazing.
Since we have a two-week break, this newsletter will focus mainly on upcoming dates to put on the calendar.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Onward and Upward,
JLM
