The multi-use building is wrapped and that means the outside stucco and large format tiles and windows are next. And then the crews swarm the inside for plumbing, electrical, dry wall, and finishes. Still six to seven months remain for construction, but we are on track to open for the next school year 2025-26! A new kitchen with more food options, an inside assembly space with a stage, and a rainy day location to project movies -- all dreams come true!

The official Sharkie of the San Jose Sharks came to congratulate Mrs. Vanderkooi's 2nd grade class for being tops in their Reading is Cool program. First, Sharkie met Principal Burbank and helped himself to teacher snacks from her cabinet, and he hid his snacks inside his jumbo shoe! Then, Sharkie visited the winning class and made himself at home with his feet on the desk! He asked where students had visited during their vacation last week, even getting the Sharks to guarantee him a trip to Maui next year -- we'll see! Sharkie asked what books the learners had read; Harry Potter and DogMan were tops. Finally, Sharkie gifted some new books about sharks to Mrs. Vanderkooi's classroom library. Go San Jose Sharks!

Assembly speaker Dr. Blake Brandes presented on the black top to all Forest Hill Falcons. He explained how the brain is a muscle that can get stronger, and if you're not good at something, you say, "I'm not good at playing piano, yet" as an example. He had students share things they're not good at yet, and the list included math, tennis, reading, Minecraft, jewelry-making, and more. And then he delivered those items in an amazing on-the-spot rap, linked below. Dr. Brandes got the whole audience clapping and chanting, "If I keep going, my mind keeps growing!" An awesome message for every learner. Every classroom also received Dr. Brandes' newest book titled One More Try.
