Campus and Community

Last Month at Alta...

We welcomed December with holiday decor and festivities galore! Our community room, room 4, was a festive wonderland and the site of our Holiday Shop. Students had the opportunity to select gifts for family and friends, wrap their items, and enjoy donuts, fruit, and hot chocolate.

Families had the opportunity to attend our Holiday Shop during our Annual Posada, many leaving with bags of clothes and other treasures. If smiles and lively chatter are an indicator, fun was had by all who attended.

In addition to the holiday festivities, students had several off-campus tours and activities. We also kicked off our financial aid workshop series.

A Message from your Community Liaison

Dear Alta Vista Families,

I would like to take a moment to recap some of the important fun activities we wrapped up our school year with.

We are incredibly grateful to the Sallie A. Hunt Foundation for their generous donation of 20 pairs of shoes. Our students were so happy and thankful. We also held a Giving Tree, where our amazing staff sponsored students, bringing big smiles and joy to many hearts.

We hosted our final Coffee with the Principal, which was led by our wonderful counselor, Mrs. Greenlee. Thank you to all the parents who took the time to attend and connect with us.

We ended the year with our Posada, in collaboration with AVHS and MGM, and it was a huge success. Thank you to all the families who joined us and to the community for coming together. It was a fun and joyful night filled with piñata candy bags, food, and lotería. It was truly heartwarming to see families smiling and celebrating together.

We hope everyone had a wonderful time. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing everyone back next year!

Warm regards

Xochitl Tejada Robles, Community Liaison
