This school year 11 NHS members are working toward going to the LEAD Conference in January. LEAD is an annual conference created by the NASSP (National Association of Secondary School Principals) for the purpose of helping student leaders attain resources, skills and inspiration to make an even greater impact in our school and community. LEAD provides students with opportunities for peer learning, expertise-sharing and networking with student leaders from across the globe. Specific focuses of this year’s LEAD conference are expanding leadership skills, re-evaluating mindsets, and leading through service. Additionally, students will be able to build connections with an international network that will help them achieve their goals and provide personal and professional growth. We will be traveling to Washington D.C. for the conference at the end of January. We are looking for help with funding for scholarships, food during the trip, and transportation while we are in Washington D.C. We are encouraging members of the community to donate tax credits specifically for LEAD Conference expenses. Tax Donations can be made at the District Office or online at www.sjusd.net. Please specify through your donations that you would like it to go to the LEAD Conference. Thank you so much for the continued support from our community!

Brody Waite and Jagger Conner are week 9&10 Strength and Conditioning athletes of the week. These guys work hard everyday, always finish their workout with great effort, pay attention to detail and exemplify the "Built Different" traits we love to see. Way to go guys!!

Congratulations to Ryan Norton & Michael Bushman for earning the Student Athletes of the Month award! In addition to being absolutely incredible students, here is some of what their coaches had to say about them in regards to this award: RYAN Ryan was crucial in our big win in 5 games against Winslow earlier this week!! Her stats from that game are as follows: 155 sets, this means she set up her teammates 155 times without any errors! 3 serving aces, and 100% serve efficiency and a 2.63 out of 3 serve grade, this means she gained three points alone by her serves, and never made a serve error the entire game, her serve grade means she has a very tough serve and the other team could NOT set up a multiple attack offense off her serve which is incredible stat! 15 digs, this is also an incredible stat for a setter to have because most setters only focus on setting up the offense. Ryan was third on the team for digs that night which means when the other team tries to take out the setter by hitting at her, she effectively can dig a ball to still allow an aggressive offense! MICHAEL Micheal is the epitome of what a student athlete should be. He is dedicated and diligent in his academics and on the football field. He is a team leader in almost every measurable statistic and always shows up ready to put in the work. However, his talents on the field are not what makes him such an exemplary individual. Micheal makes those around him want to be better. Not by demanding they be, but by being a leader and an example through his actions. Michael is always willing to help his teammates become better students and, through his own academic achievements, demonstrates the characteristics needed to be successful.
