We are so grateful for our students and staff here at Sierra! Thank you to the families that are sharing them with us. Each member of this school brings us joy. Today we celebrated them with some hot cocoa in the morning, field games at lunch, and a visit from BRITE. The BRITE group presents facts and dispels myths about drugs and alcohol with our students. We also had one of our incredibly talented artists decorate our front windows! Shoutout to Ray, who has created his own window painting business for the holidays!

Let's celebrate these SENIORS!
Let's celebrate these SENIORS! They are one step closer to being 100% committed to Ventura College! Today they worked with the team from VC to get into the student portal for their orientation and are ready to select classes once schedules are published for next year. Many of them have already done their financial aid applications as well. We are so proud of them! Warriors get it done!
Sierra students had some fun activities last Friday and yesterday!
Sierra students had some fun activities last Friday and yesterday. Students played the Minute to Win It game called the mummy wrap. ASB hosted the "littles" from our sister school Heritage Valley Independent Studies to paint pumpkins, and we held our own Costume contest. We love making Sierra and Heritage Valley a great place to be! Our students know they are safe, valued, and members of our communities of Fillmore and Piru.
Happy Halloween!
