Principal's Weekly Message- October 6, 2023

Campus Updates & Reminders:

Please don’t forget that there will be no school on Monday as we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We should take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we are located for this day off from school. For thousands of years, this land has been home to the Patwin people, including the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation today. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored to have our school here on their traditional lands.

PTO Message:
