4. Wellness Week Spotlight
|
With final exams starting next week, this week our Be the Change leadership group led a school wide focus on wellness. There were activities each day at lunch or nutrition that gave students the opportunity to relieve some stress and focus on their overall well-being. Students made art in the Wellness center, stress balls in the library, wrote positive chalk messages around campus, and even got to do yoga in the Mindfulness room. Thank you BTC and good luck during finals Sea Kings!

The Triton Yearbook received notification that the 2019 “that’s our nature” edition of the Triton received top national honors from the American Scholastic Press Association. Congratulations to the entire Triton Yearbook staff for this prestigious achievement. Long hours in class, on deadline and during summer workshops and conferences resulted in national recognition. This is the third year in-a-row that the Triton Yearbook has received this honor. Special thanks to former editors-in-chief Hana Meroth, Judy Yamaguchi, Malia Shitabata, Megan McCallister, and Grace Drawer along with junior editors-in-chief Michaela Lee and Sophia Kang. This award comes on the heels of receiving Best of Show at the fall JEA/NSPA National Convention in Washington D.C. As former EIC Malia Shitabata said, “ That’s great news! There was so much pain and joy going into its production. I’m glad we’re getting to see the payoff!”

Daniel Lowe and Luke Rafijah have cofounded the student version of Luna Peak Foundation, a new student led volunteer group at PV High. So far this year they have run a successful fundraiser for Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times- a camp for children with cancer and helped set up and execute the Camps Holiday party at Warner Brothers Ranch. This spring they will hand out books of inspiration to newly diagnosed cancer patients. The book is filled with quotes from survivors and their photos.
The boys chose to start this organization in order for the students to choose what they are passionate about. The kids run their own meetings, take minutes and chose activities to help other kids.

The students from PV High that are a part of Luna Peak Links are:
Daniel Lowe
Luke Rafijah
Sydni Bednarek
Emily Milam
Jake Milam
Zach Amadhi
