STAFF MEMBER OF THE MONTH

Tamara Pellow - Local Union President

Mrs. Pellow is a fierce advocate for our educators and a dedicated leader.

"Back in peak Covid, I considered joining Union Leadership.

Once I experienced what that was like, I stepped back from the table.

(I would never be able to sleep at night with all that on my mind…)

Tamara stepped up to the table and worked with Shaye.

Once Shaye moved on to CTA staff, Tamara became our Local Union President.

I am grateful to her for stepping up"… per Mr. Driver.

Thank you, Tamara, for making a difference.

LEARNING IN MOTION: WHATS HAPPENING ON AND OFF CAMPUS!

UC Davis Upward Bound STEAM Workshop

Over the weekend, West Valley and Anderson students participated in the UC Davis Upward Bound Gingerbread STEAM Workshop. This hands-on activity challenged students to develop building plans, manage a budget, and construct stable, visually appealing gingerbread houses. The workshop provided an engaging way to integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and math principles, and the students excelled in their efforts!

Strong Team Effort at Gridley High School

VEX Competition

in Chico

Mr. and Mrs. Soksoda and the West Valley Robotics team participated in the VEX Robotics Competition in Chico. The team had the opportunity to observe a variety of robot designs and strategies from other schools. This experience sparked new ideas for improving their robots and game plan as they prepare for the January competition.

CTE Construction Tech Class - Santa's Elves

Mr. Jones' CTE Construction Tech class has been hard at work preparing for the upcoming Christmas Carnival. Students have demonstrated exceptional diligence and craftsmanship, creating Christmas tree shelves and wooden Christmas trees that will be featured at next week's event. Their dedication and skill showcase the value of hands-on learning and contribut to the season's festive spirit.

Holiday Spirit at West Valley

We certainly do not lack Christmas spirit this year! Mr. Chrasta's students have outdone themselves, creating the best classroom Christmas tree and decorations we've ever seen. The festive display was so inviting that all we needed was a fireplace, some milk, and cookies for Santa to complete the scene.

Our students' creativity and enthusiasm bring holiday cheer to the entire campus!
