    Wear It Pink!

    Our Annual Wear It Pink Day helped to raise awareness about the importance of wellness checks and following healthy living guidelines. According to the Mayo Clinic, we can reduce our risks by avoiding alcohol, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, and refraining from smoking.

    Thank you to all staff and students who participated in this important day!

    Bump! Set! Spike! Our Annual District Volleyball Tournament Did NOT Disappoint

    Our Annual District Volleyball Tournament was a fantastic event! We were blown away by the talent and high quality competitions! Congratulations to the following WINNERS:

    Sportsmanship Superstars: Westwood Elementary

    MegaTeam: Carol G. Peck

    Superfans: James W. Rice

    The Sevilla West team swooped in for an exciting third-place victory over the incredibly talented newcomers from Madrid. Tensions were high as the super-strong Simpson team faced returning champions, Catalina Ventura. Ultimately, those Tigers strutted out with the win -- their THIRD in a row! 
     

    An event like this doesn’t happen without a little bit of teamwork and a whole lot of talent. The AESD Wellness Team is grateful to the following contributors:  

    Karen Stengal and Maria Duarte for organizing our competition bracket

    Kathy Dye for organizing equipment

    Rod Brashear a/k/a DJ GETACLUE for spinning the hits

    Emma Euting, Rebekah Reyna, and NJHS for hosting the refreshment stand

    Tina Bunch and the incredible Catalina family for hosting! 

    Congratulations, Catalina, for a mighty fine performance! Thank you to all the teams who came out to compete and have some fun! We were so impressed with the sportsmanship and team spirit!
