Dear Wildcats,

We’ve hit the ground running since returning from Winter Break! Our calendar is full of exciting opportunities for students to get involved both on and off campus.

Congratulations to our students who competed in wrestling and cheer last weekend, as well as our History Day and Science Fair winners! These accomplishments highlight the positive impact of co-curricular involvement, and we love to see our students shine! The awards are as follows:
  • Honorable Mentions: Shiloh Tucker, Kerrington Jeffcoach, Kinsey Kimura, Brynn Ferreria, Noah Schwarm, Braxton Vance, Alivia Jolley, Eleanor McKell, Briannah Barghi, and Olivia Feld
  • 1st Place Awards: Finley Pena
  • 2nd Place Awards: Emilee Williams, Stella Franklin, Jacob Leung and Ethan Linder
  • 3rd Place Award: Abel Valdez
  • Sweepstakes Winner BEST OVERALL Project for the ENTIRE Clovis West Area in the Life Science Category: Finley Pena

I encourage families to help students find activities they enjoy. Participation beyond the classroom often supports academic success. A great example was our recent Science Fair and History Day Open House, where it was inspiring to see younger students excited and looking ahead to future participation. Thank you for being partners in your child’s education. We truly appreciate our community and love seeing our students involved!

With Wildcat Pride,
Aman Athwal
