Santiago School was well represented at the School Choice Fair that took place at the 2019 Family And Community Engagement (FACE) Conference last Saturday, Sept. 28th. Parents were able to look at what each school in the SAUSD has to offer. Besides the school choice fair, there was also the Community Resource Fair and numerous workshops offered to parents to help their children succeed in school. Thanks to all the parents who attended the conference and to all the volunteers who helped out at the event.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

SANTIAGO AVID BUDDIES HARD AT WORK

Ms. Monett’s 7th grade AVID students visited our 2nd grade classes every Wednesday to assist their second grade buddies with writing & reading.

Civic Education and Early Literacy Interventions

Our 8th graders are paired up to work with 1st grade students as upper grade peer mentors to help develop early literacy in our younger students. Thank you 1st grade teacher Mrs.Lugo and 8th grade teacher Mr. Peterson.

Mrs. Lugo's class were excited in learning about decomposers and how they help our world by breaking down waste! The class's favorite decomposers are the worms. Worms are able to give back nutrients to the soil after they decomposed food scraps and other organic waste. For a STEAM activity, Mrs. Lugo's class decided to design, create and build their our own decomposers.

Santiago Art Masters Features Artist Roy Lichtenstein

The Santiago Art Masters program recently held an assembly introducing the life and work of our featured artist, Roy Fox Lichtenstein, an American pop artist. All our students participated in the Meet the Masters visual arts program and then did an in-classroom art project that reflects the style, medium, and artistic techniques of Roy Lichtenstein. Mrs. Andersen’s 2nd graders proudly presented their artworks.

Hero Officers Teach the Importance of Details

School Police Officer Nadeau and Officer Limon taught 8th graders the importance of details. Students read “Tell Tale Heart” and then did a police report on the crime scene. The officers went over why it is important to tell only the facts but give all the details. After today’s lesson, students will follow up with an essay from the attorney’s perspective by pleading a case for the narrator. Thank you, Ms. Monette, for hosting our Hero Officers and allowing them to be teachers in the classroom!
