As the Thomas Fire continues to grow and affect residents of the Ventura and Santa Barbara County in different ways, we can take this time out of class to be with family, learn about the natural disaster that is happening around us, and keep busy with tasks that we don't normally have time to focus on. Also, finish your class projects!
Meteor Shower Tonight! - The Geminids Meteor Shower is peaking TONIGHT! Since we are out of school, you will be able to catch a glimpse of some shooting stars (meteors) tonight after 9 pm. Get your blankets, chairs, and hot chocolate ready! Please look below for more information.
Class Projects - If possible, work on your class projects!
P2, 5, & 6 - Project ID - Finish up creating your ID tags and Bag Pins (for 2nd-year students). Remember to figure out the size of your project using millimeters.
