A note from our good friend and Mira Loma Vice Principal, Ms. Sheila Holley Dear Friends, I would like to announce my retirement as of October 1, 2016. Next summer, I am excited to pursue a trip to Ghana, Africa to help an NGO
set up a brick and mortar college prep expansion called Exponential Education, but I am still concerned about what on earth I will do with my hair while there. In the meantime, I will be getting in shape for ski season and enjoying our cabin at Donner Lake. Some of you know I was a competitive skier in college so my frequent return to the slopes albeit at a slower version of my prior self is something I can’t wait to do. Mira Loma has been my family for so many years. The relationships I have made will sustain me for a lifetime. I have learned from you a higher level of professionalism and for that I am so very grateful. My motto has always been my favorite Maya Angelou quote: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I hope I have lived up to this mantra.

Teachers, students bring mindfulness to the classroom Mr. Phe Bach, our Mira Loma chemistry teacher facilitated the training. “Selfcultivation and selfobservation of what’s going on
around you, and within you.” “Take a slow, deep breath in, and slowly exhale.” This guided meditation was part of a recent training on mindfulness, led by and made for San Juan Unified teachers. Educators explored resources to develop their own mindfulness, aswell as activities and strategies to help students practice mindfulness.

On September 28, Passport will have a special assembly introducing Slam Poetry and the Writing Workshop. Thirtysix Passport students will be participating in the Writing Workshop all year and then participate in a festival at UC Davis in May.

ISSPO Updates Fall 2017 Volunteer Opportunities: CERT Graduation Drill Sacramento Fire CERT is a team of community members working and/or residing in Sacramento, CA and surrounding communities who have been trained, in cooperation with the Sacramento City Fire Department (SFD) to
respond to an emergency in their neighborhood, workplace, or wherever the need may arise. As part of our disaster preparedness training, we conduct two graduation drills per year, providing graduates with a disaster simulation that they must work in, assessing damage, performing search and rescue functions, and triaging and treating patients. Sacramento CERT needs volunteers to roleplay as victims for our graduates. Victims will be provided information on an injury and will portray an injured victim so our graduates can practice search and rescue, triage, transport and treatment of live victims. Our Fall Academy Drill will be held at 3230 J Street in Sacramento on October 1st at 8am. Victims should arrive in casual clothing (jeans, closed toe shoes, sleeves/jackets as weather dictates) and be prepared to act out various injuries. Minors are permitted to attend so long as a guardian also participates. This event is free to the public and benefits our civilian first responders by providing invaluable experience. Be prepared to act your heart out! For students requiring community service time, we can provide signoffs or letters as needed. Questions regarding the event can be directed to Sacramento CERT by emailing [email protected].
