Our 8th grade class had a great field trip last week on April 25th-26th. They were able to meet with the fire science professor from Cal Poly Humboldt and go to their marine biology lab. They also had a lot of fun at the Sequoia Park Zoo and Redwood Skywalk.
Friday, April 26th, Laytonville High School students attended the 36th Annual Latino Student Retreat at Mendocino College. The day began by listening to keynote speaker, Erika Cruz. Erika is a Coach, Speaker, and Founder of Courage Driven Latina. Erika left a six-figure tech job and created her own six-figure paying business. Erika’s work focuses on helping others become the best version of themselves. She has been featured in the New York Times, CNN, Los Angeles Times, Telemundo, and more. Her message to students is to always dream big and have confidence in yourself to make your dreams a reality. Following the speaker our students attended two workshops. Some of the workshops our students participated in were: Financial Literacy, Funding Your Education, Sustainable Construction, and more. Senior and Study Body President, Melanie Sanchez Chavez, attended the Nursing Simulation Lab and the Science Exploration Workshop with fellow students. She said, "What I liked about the nursing simulation lab was being able to see all the mannequins and doing the real life situation lab. The science lab did a scavenger hunt that showed us new things about animals, and corals and that was a cool experience." Following the workshops students were invited to table events and a tasty lunch. In addition our students had the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Demartini who is very missed at LHS. Overall it was a wonderful experience, thank you to Mendocino College for hosting this event!
Deputy Sizemore from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office volunteered to visit with our preschool and TK/K students yesterday. He brought a patrol vehicle for them to tour and the kids had a lot of fun!
On Tuesday, April 16th, Laytonville High School and Middle School students attended a presentation by inspirational Chicana and Native American Speaker Maggie Steele.

We appreciate her presence in Laytonville and a HUGE thank you to the Cahto Tribe and Healthy Start for making it possible for Maggie to share her gifts with the students of Laytonville.
