Goal statement for the HS
The goals for the 1st year of the HS have been posted. See http://www.saviochs.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/savios-goals.pdf
I admire the transparency and also the accountability that this implies. A few of the goals seemed aggressive to me at first but it shows the administration has great confidence in the coming year.
School spirit shown in first football game
The Eagles had a remarkable first football game. Not the score (a not surprising 48-0 loss given the small school population to draw from) but the school spirit. During and after the game, the support of the school for their new team was overwhelming and LOUD. The excitement was palpable, and promises a great future for the school.
Band concert
School events kicked off more than a week before the first day of classes (August 31st) with a band concert. They performed pieces they had worked on in their summer camp, and played for about 30 minutes a mix of choir and band pieces. The concert began with a solo electric guitar piece. They did well.
Volleyball Team off to strong start
The volleyball team is off to a strong start, winning their games and playing well.
