Happy Holidays!
We have just returned from a restful Thanksgiving break, and winter
vacation is right around the corner. Before we’re out for winter
vacation, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy
and joyous holiday season. Soon everyone will be off enjoying family
and friends and hopefully a very restful break.
Fall sports seasons have just come to an end, and our athletic teams
experienced a great deal of success. Once again, our Women’s
Tennis Team made it to the CIF playoffs. We want to congratulate
Naime Bajrami, Devin Smith, Leondra Smith and Estephanie Sunga for
making it to the CIF doubles finals. We also want to congratulate
and thank Coach Dabney for the excellent work she puts in with theses
students. Congratulations also go to Coach Berger, Coach Ward and
Serra’s Field Hockey team for yet again making an appearance
in the CIF field hockey finals. Lastly, we want to congratulate
Coach Richards and Amber Berry for making it to the cross country
state finals. Thanks go to all the athletes of the fall season for
representing Serra High School with pride and honor. We also would
like to recognize that these students maintained academic and citizenship
GPAs in order to remain eligible to participate. Great job everyone!
Winter sports for this school year have begun. The coaches have
completed their tryouts, and the seasons for Men’s and Women’s
Basketball, Soccer, Women’s Water Polo and Wrestling will be
underway. We wish these athletes the best of luck and look forward
to an exciting winter sports season.
NJROTC again has had a successful beginning to the school year.
Recently they swept first place in the Armed, Unarmed and Color
Guard at the annual San Diego Veterans Day Parade. At the Regional
Air Rifle Competition, they took first place in the standing and
kneeling position, second place in the prone position and second
place team overall.
Our second grading period for the fall semester ended December 7th.
Please keep an eye out for student progress reports to be coming
home the following week. If you have any questions regarding your
students’ progress in a specific class, please feel free to
contact the teacher for clarification, or schedule a conference
if needed.
Winter break is scheduled December 24th through January 4th. School
will resume January 7, 2007.
Please take this time to enjoy the holidays with your family and
friends. On behalf of the staff and students of Serra High School,
we wish you the best for a happy holiday season, as well as a happy,
prosperous and healthy new year.
