Conditioning Begins now
Pinole Valley is poised to be the Wrestling capital of the District and we are looking to reload for the 2024-25 school year. One of the things we love about the sport is that it fits all types. Any size, any shape, any gender, there is a match for you, and coach Armando is the best. A true ambassador to the activity. Meanwhile we have girls volleyball getting ready for their season with conditioning in the gym Tuesday while boys basketball starts their climb back with track time today and gym time on Thursday. Look and listen for more all season long

Character Counts
We love working with our service clubs to serve our community. And then there are evenings like this one where we get honored right back. Join the celebration in our black box theater as we recognize the "good characters" in our schools. This is the first of a number of 'award's nights, and one of the most special as we highlight kids who day after day, do the right things

Make Mine Music
The month ahead started with a great show with Piano Recital night in the choir room. Seven of our keyboard players put on a show for the community amongst them, an original compositon as well. This same night featured our jazz band playing at the District show in El Cerrito which leads to this week's band competition event in Folsom, then it is a bunch of peformances from choir and band, some on campus, but many are on the road, like this weekend's Choir festival in Santa Cruz and our band's championships in Folsom. Some like our Day on the Green outdoors in the city. One way or the other, look forward to music (oh, music Friday in the Quad) every week from now til year's end.

Choose your Choice
Leadership does it all. Everything from running rallies, dances and club weeks to creating flyers like the ones you see above. This Wednesday, we urge all Pinole Valley students to make their way to the school library to exercise the right to choose your leaders. The next year of Pinole Valley life depends on your decision. No pressure! Thanks for exercising your fundamental rights to make our school your school!

Spartans Build Bridges
We have two teams of Spartan Bridge builders going to UC Berkeley this Weekend and we could not be more proud. The Goldfish bridge team of Navdeep, Isabel, Stephanie and Humbert as well as the Apollo bridge team of Nicholas, Zayan, Noah and Olivia. Great work and on display and open to the public to see if they can do the job right while adding style and panache to the work. We will be at Stanley Hall to celebrate our builders. Next week the Spartan engineering team goes to the Robotics finals and will test their creations against Bay Area schools. We love the chance to compete and bond with bridges and robots from all over

Faith Parsons : Artist of the Day
This German expressionist/ Cubist inspired portrait by Faith Parsons employs heavy lines and bold shapes to create mood and tension. Faith is one of a handful of Senior artists who have been making art for their four years on campus, and has done another stellar piece and this is just another highlight in a high school career full of bright moments. Credit to Mr. Hersh's class where the students find the inspiration and talent to create such fine works

Baseball makes Senior Day a Celebration
With a 10-0 win over El Cerrito, the Spartans clinch top spot in the TCAL and now try to finish the regular season the same way they started it--perfectly. The girls are ranked #2 in the Bay Area and hope to continue their winning ways deep into the post season. Come out next Saturday to the home field to see the senior girls put a bow on what has been a season to remember, a number of heroes yesterday including pitcher Junior Malan who went the distance to give the Spartans a perfect 6-0 start in league and a near certain berth in the North Coast Section playoffs the week after the regular season ends..

Spartans go to Elementary School
Our WE Science team goes to local elementary schools to show how cool science is. And they do this, by doing hands on experiments. It gives the little ones a chance to work with the big kid they are going to become while at the same time, allowing our high school students to step into the role of a teacher. Students from Pinole Valley are bringing the best of the hands on work they createcd to dazzle, inspire and instruct our younger scientists to be, to come over and be part of WE when they arrive at Pinole Valley

Survey Says it's Time to Plan
Where should the money go? What you decide so often is related to what you make your priority. Pinole Valley is looking for some student input (and we sent a link out for parent surveys) and we meet with our Instructional Leadership Team for some staff input with the goal being that all of these voices together will result in a more equitable and supportive school. And once the budget is in place, we will need your help on our School Site Council to help guide, adjust and ultimately maximize our budget so that everyone has a voice and a vote in how we use our resources best
