Message from Principal Paddock
|
|
Greetings!
We have finally had our first snowfall...winter has arrived. Each year around this time, I begin to reflect on the things and people that bring me joy and how I can express gratitude. The last 20 months have been the most difficult for our community and I am grateful for our dedicated teachers, students, staff, and families. There are so many that have helped me through these challenges. How will you express and show gratitude to those that have made a positive impact on your continued growth?
Take care, be well, and GO PARK!
LaNisha Paddock, Principal

PEAC has sponsored conference week gift bags for all staff. As a reminder, if you are a parent or guardian, you are a part of PEAC (Parent Engagement Advisory Committee)
Thanks to your generosity at the end of summer when we collected for a week one Staff lunch, we were able to use some excess funds to provide each staff member with a small thank you gift.
|
|
The best gift is the gratitude, collaboration and support of our parent community. In this season of gratitude, staff would love to hear from you. Ask your student who makes a difference in their lives and send that teacher or staff member (front office, custodians, nutrition, health office, etc.) a quick email to show your support. Email addresses can be found https://hs.slpschools.org/about/staff-directory
Thank you!

Spanish Club: ¡Día de los Muertos!
On October 28th, more than twenty-five students joined several Spanish teachers and our latinx student liaison, Carmen Rudin, to learn more about how the Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Latin America. Students learned about the indigenous and Christian origins of the holiday, watched a short video about the “altar de la ofrenda,” and enjoyed typical music of the holiday. Students then made decorations of “papel picado,” colored images of “calaveras,” and assembled a mini-altar. The afternoon wrapped up with dancing and the opportunity to taste “pan de muerto,” a traditional bread made for the holiday!
