We have a lot of diversity on campus. There are many ways that we show our diversity, with many activities.
One activity was to have a different day represnt a wacky Halloween week. We had mix up color day, wacky hair day, and even aloha day. Here are some pictures where we had fun dressing up. Parents and teachers joined the students in celebrating this festive time. This helps us to appreciate diversity.
We also have Family Reading night. This helps the community come together with their children. The parents can choose to read or to be read to by their children. It also helps by having the students actually take a test on what is being read.
Campus Cleanup is scheduled every month. Here the students and the community come and help cleanup the campus together. We learn to be Peacebuilders, be good citizens, and enjoy family time.
Another great day that we have is Sports day. We have one every semester. The students enjoy a day of sports and games, from tug of war to egg races, it is really a time for the students to have fun. Now, the last time we lost to Mrs. Church's class at tug of war, but we are hungry to win so hopefully we take it this time.
Our students are very active. They love to join PGFC, where they are able to participate in the performing arts. They also learn about language and reading. Also, the students join Math Court, where they participate in leveled math challenges. San Antonio may be a small school, but they really have a lot of participants. Students are recognized for their success at Peacebuilder ceremonies and in the bulletin.
The community also celebrates Thanksgiving. this year, we took home two prizes! Russ Dequito came up with the winning theme: "Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks to those who has helped us". We also won the door decorating contest. We used brown banana leaves, and we wrote who we were thankful for. We also had little chicks on a crest bus and saying the Peacebuilder pledge. We also performed on stage, the students worked hard for it.
Of course, who can forget our Peacebuilder's ceremony. Every Friday, we have gather in the morning, say the Peacebuilder pledge and sing the song. We have a performance from students who teach us through song, skit, or dance, the different aspects of Peacebuilders and CREST. A new addition this year is a 15 minute workout to promote health and wellness. I must admit, the most favorite song is "the Chicken Dance".
