  • Cruising--Pinole Valley goes on its annual Senior Boat cruise this Wednesday.  The lavish event may not seem to vital to school life, but it is part of what makes high school so important and is one of the events that we treasure.  To see the students adapt to unfamilliar circumstances and adapt to a different venue is one of the ways we see them mature.  The comfort zone that is school is a big adjustment at first, until it becomes familiar and routine.  The Boat cruise is the first formal event for many of the students.  The fact that students may be seeing each other for the first time in their finery is both thrilling and anxiety producing.  Students need not worry, we know that when they dress up they look great.  There are issues of layers and high hells (and a moving boat!) but by the time the music begins, most of the inhibitions have been shed (and a few layers as well).  We bring almost twenty adult chaperones, and find that they too really enjoy seeing the students in their formal attire and surprising setting.  Of course, the Boat Cruise is one of many opportunities to see the students outside of school.  We do study trips, performances, athletic events, parades (El Sobrante Stroll this Sunday) and in each of those, we ask students to be on their best behavior.  We know that the unexpected is often disorienting.  It is also a time for growth.  So scrub up nicely, Spartans.   Your ride awaits!
