The Spartan Connection: 11/9-11/14

Congratulations to the Spartans Math team that won First Place in the MCOE Math Festival! Huge out to Math and Mandarin Teacher, Mrs. Yang, for leading the team. We are proud of our Spartan scholars who showed their math acumen at the festival on Saturday.

This past weekend, the Drama Club had opening weekend of Squirrel Girl Goes to College. Join to watch the last two shows on Friday and Saturday, November 14 and 15th starting at 7:30pm. We look forward to seeing you at the Black Box Theatre to see the family-friendly performance.

Seaside High's September Attendance Campaign led to a 0.37% growth in Average Daily Attendance and 2.11% decrease in Chronic Absenteeism in October. Join us in November as we look to improve on-time attendance. Students can earn points toward the Student Store and we have a 1st Period Challenge to be present in class by 8:30am.

Winter Sports practices started this past week. We look to build on the momentum of our Fall Sports as we launch into Girls and Boys Basketball, Girls and Boys Soccer, and Wrestling. 

Join us on Monday, November 9 at 6pm in the Cafeteria. During this meeting, we will share important information for families to be prepared for winter sports. This includes information about eligibility, attendance, and supporting a culture of excellence. We will meet with everyone together at 6pm in the Cafeteria before splitting off into individual sports.

Congratulations to SHS junior, Nataly Cruz Juarez, who was selected to be a Central Coast representative on the Statewide Student Advisory (SSA) Board for Community Schools. 

To be considered for this opportunity, Nataly wrote a cover letter, asked for and received a letter of recommendation, and was among a small group of students invited to participate in an interview before her final selection. She joins a group of 22 board members selected out of 100+ applicants.

Over the course of the year, Nataly will take part in leadership trainings, statewide events, and bring important (Seaside!) student voice to education policy and practice at a state-level. She will also be an integral part of planning the annual Empower Summit which had 2,000+ attendees this year!

Thank you to our Counseling Team (Mrs. Moya, Mr. Green, Ms. Morales-Sumano, Mrs. Reyes, Mr. Bowles) for leading Coffee with the Community last week! We appreciate the families that were able to join to learn more about our Counseling Department. Along with their social-emotional support, their efforts have helped support 70 college applications to date.
