Today the Laytonville High School Title 6 students and the Native American Club visited a Native Art Exhibit in the town of Mendocino. There was native art, music, and presenters. Students were able to listen to the runner up for Miss Indian World, Arella Rose. There was a Missing Murdered Indigenous Women exhibit among others. Afterwards students stopped at MacKerricher Park and ate lunch, it was a beautiful day.
Last week the Laytonville Middle School Native American Club took a field trip to Spy Rock School and the Spy Rock Petroglyphs. The students had a great time visiting the one room school house, and enjoyed a game of pond monster amongst the cattails. The students were also able to visit and examine the amazing petroglyphs and hypothesized about what they meant and what could be done to save them from the slow destruction that has been occurring.
We would like to give a big shout out to our amazing Volunteer Fire Department along with the Laytonville High School fire class and our Transportation Department! Today they teamed up with our elementary school to help teach bus evacuation safety. Our students learned important skills to stay safe in case of an emergency!

Thank you to all the presenters and organizers who made this year's California Native American Day a success. Elementary students came over to Laytonville High School for the opening ceremony by Aimie Lucas with Dewey and Running Elk. Students visited different booths like games, beading, soap root brushes, basket weaving, Native foods, and educational/health related topics. There was also a Fry Bread Competition that led to a wonderful lunch. Winners of the Fry Bread Competition were #1 Jason (Jay) Christianson, #2 Frankie Esquival, and #3 Maria Anderson.
Laytonville High School is excited to host this year's district-wide California Native American Day Celebration on Friday, September 13th starting at 9:30 AM.

In 2017 students in Carolyn Carpenter's Graphic Arts class designed, sewed, and manufactured beautiful blue and gold custom flags to hang up on the light posts around Laytonville High School. After seven years of wear, the elements had taken their toll on the flags. Today, Family Tree Services volunteered to use their boom truck to come and take down the old worn flags around the school. Thank you so much to Family Tree for all you do in our community, we appreciate it. Special thanks to Melinda, Jeremy, Rudy and his crew for making this happen. We will now start looking for new flags to hang up in those old spots sometime soon.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2024 Freshman Academy a big success. We had over 70% of the incoming class participate in this program that gives a solid orientation and understanding of high school while meeting many of their teachers and having a lot of fun. We finished the week with a tour of Sonoma State and Santa Rosa JC and then enjoyed lunch and some fun activities courtesy of LUSD. The staff at Laytonville High School is getting ready for the beginning of school on August 21st, and we look forward to welcoming all our students to the start of a successful school year.
The Freshmen Academy at Laytonville High will be in session starting next Monday, August 5th. The purpose of the academy is to prepare incoming freshman for high school through an orientation and a series of 11 individual presentations to encourage career exploration with Career Technical Pathway Teachers and helpful tips for success with other academic teachers. The Freshman Academy will feature three different presentations during each of the first four days, and a field trip on the 5th day. In addition to the academic and career exploration, freshman academy is also fun!
Freshman Academy will take place Monday August 5th, through Friday August 9th, and will run from 9am-12pm. The Freshman Academy will include a college field trip to Sonoma State University leaving at 8am on August 9th. Although this is an optional program, students who attend the entire Freshman Academy get better grades their freshmen year on average than students who do not, and they can earn 2 elective credits towards high school graduation. No signups are necessary, just show up.
We look forward to seeing your incoming freshman at Laytonville High School for the 2024 Freshman Academy.

The Laytonville Elementary School 7th graders had the pleasure of being the first class to participate in an educational tour at Newport Ranch last week, thanks to the Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE). They explored the ranch, studied creek health by identifying water creatures, planted redwood trees, toured the gardens and mushroom inoculation station, and had a fabulous day!
Our elementary students had a fantastic time participating in the 'pie a teacher' event during the Spring Fling on Tuesday, April 30th. Laughter filled the air as students eagerly lined up to throw pies at their teachers, creating a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved.
