Enterpeneur's Club is now the Coffee Club
The Entrepeneurs Club is doing great business. After running the coffee club for weeks and turning profits, the crew is now moving into new horizons. Coffee mugs are the best way to enjoy a cup of Spartan blend and rather than get a new cup each time, now you will have your very own. We are running a contest to award a free mug and a chance to earn campus wide fame by designing the look of the Spartan mug. Put your artistic creativity to work and see if you can make something historical. April deadline, so spring forward with your ideas

Big Day of Victory for Spartan sports
A big day for Pinole Valley athletics. The baseball team got things started in style. Max Castro went the distance and then helped himself and the team with an RBI single to lead the Spartans to a 1-0 win over Enicnal. Then it was onto the gym and victory over Richmond 10-7 in Badminton. The boys and girls both won singles and doubles to clinch the victory. Meanwhile at Richmond Country club it was PV golf continuing its magic season, the swingers knocked off Hercules and are back in action today as they host St. Patricks. The track team took a lot of top honors as well and they continue their victory sprint and throws this weekend in multiple competitions. Also today, swim at DeLaSalle. Keep it going, Big Blue

Health Van on the Move
In addition to the awesome Health Center, we have the mobile van here now on Wednesdays and Fridays to serve all of our students for all their physical and confidential needs. One of the things we thought about was how to make the visit a little more private, and so we came up with an obvious solution. It is a mobile van, so let's put in drive. We now have it tucked back behind the gym to allow for a little more discretion and more space. A win-win! For the health of our whole community

This is the Year
We are finishing up the last pages for our 2024 school yearbook. The kids have been working overtime, and the book is starting to come together. We have one last big ask (other than ordering your book now). We want to know which school our seniors are going to next year. Can you send us a message? An image? A video clip of what that looks like? We are thrilled with your accomplishments and want to share the good word with the world around. It's not too late but if you don't get to the QR code soon, you will have to tell everyone person to person or rather sign every yearbook with that information.

Show us what you're working With
The stage is the place to be this week, as the Pinole Valley community is geared up to strut its stuff in a Talent Show rehearsal week that is happening Wednesday and Thursday, for the following week's show. We encourage solos, duos and more-o's to join in the spirit of fun and make this a celebraton of the serious and silly. We look forward to our more established units, like band and choir and color guard, but also open to variations of the same groups, mini-bands, and indivdual acts will blossom from what is already in place. We know that talent is a byproduct of hard work. And who knows? Maybe it will be your turn to shine!

Volleyball Rolls and the Spartans spring into Action
The volleyball boys are continuing their magical season. With their second straight sweep of the week, the guys turned back St. Patrick's 3-0 on Friday night as they go on the road twice this week--at Albany and then at Hercules. The track team ran some personal bests and we have athletes back on the field with some of the throwing events all of whom are gearing up for big seasons. The tennis boys launch their season this week and the baseball and golf teams join badminton and swimming as the longer daylight leads to more fun and games at Pinole Valley.
