Mr. Vega, Advocacy

Course Description

Hello! I am this year's 11th grade advocate. We start every day with advocacy where we will work to foster a safe and trusting environment together. We will make a community in our classroom that we are proud to be a part of. In addition to teaching math, I love helping students find and develop their individuality: what distinguishes them as their own unique person.

Finals Week: 5/4 - 5/8

Hello all,
 
Math Stuff:
Finals week is this coming week! In math class, we finished our final exam last week and will start our final projects on Monday. These will be due on Wednesday, we will have all day in class Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to work on these.
 
Carnival:
Our Spring Carnival is coming up on May 28th, and one of the most anticipated highlights is our themed classroom baskets for the silent auction! These baskets are a major part of our fundraising efforts, and we’d love your help in making them truly special.
This year, our basket theme is Car Care.
Contributing is easy! We’ve created Amazon and Target registries (links are below) so you can simply click and purchase items. Even better—your items can be shipped directly to the school. If you prefer, you’re also welcome to shop on your own and drop off donations in the lobby during normal school hours.
Short on time? You can donate through the payment portal (please be sure to note which grade your donation is for), and we’ll take care of the shopping for you.
Please ensure all donations are received by Friday, May 22nd.
Thank you for helping us make this event a success!
 
Other Things:
Be on the lookout for permission slips for our Elitch Gardens and our Top Golf field trips coming later this month.
Thursday, May 21st is high school graduation. There is no school for the high school unless you want to come support the seniors!
Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day, there is no school.
 
Feel free to email me or any of the high school teachers if you have any questions about anything upcoming.
