A MESSAGE FROM 

Principal Santos

I spent most of my childhood in Laredo, Texas where President's Day is celebrated each year with grand festivities. As I reflect on this celebration as an adult, I see a great deal of misalignment with the values of the community; however, it continues to be celebrated in the same way, year after year because "that's the way its always been done." It makes me think about how many celebrations and forms of entertainment we take part in that don't fully align with our own values because of the institutionalized traditions of the greater community. As we continue to celebrate Black History Month, may we continue to be thoughtful, curious and intentional about the practices we take part in throughout the year. How can we be more intentional about how these impact our own Solar community so that we can continue to refine our own practices and become better? 

*SAFETY Dismissal & Arrival Updates: Do not park in the bus lane to drop off your scholars during morning arrival or in the afternoon for early pick-ups or regular dismissal. In addition, walkers should be picked up at the doors on Henderson not across the bus lane or from carline. Thank you for your patience and assistance to help arrival and dismissal go smoothly!
