Hispanic Heritage Month is from September 15th - October 15th

Nuestra Cultura, a club we have on campus, along with Peer Leaders will be on the senior lawn, Monday September 30th. Here, we will have members of Nuestra Cultura Perform songs and Baile Folklórico followed by traditional music where everyone can join together and dance. We will also have informational tables, candy, unity bracelets, and a flower creation engagement activity to allow students to learn more about the culture.

Here is an amazing article about Hispanic Heritage Month.

1. Monday and Tuesday come to the Senior Lawn to fill out the slip of paper, "I STAND UP AGAINST CANCER FOR_______________________".

- These papers will be created into a linked chain that our Cancer Survivors and Fighters will be carrying out at the Halftime Event Thursday, 10/3.

2. During the football game, GOHS will be recognizing those who are currently battling cancer or are survivors (any type). Please complete the below Google Form if you are a cancer survivor/fighter and would like to come to the field to be recognized.

3. Wear PINK Thursday to school and the Game.

What’s up Wolfpack! Here’s some more information for the Annual Can Food Drive:

Congratulations to Madison Jantz, Great Oak High School October Student of the Month.

Madison was selected by Great Oak High School for representing areas of S.P.I.R.I.T.

What is the mission of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month Program?

MISSION To bring the community together to honor and praise our local high school seniors for demonstrating character, integrity, love of learning, involvement in school activities, athletics, and community service. Or the ability to overcome challenging life circumstances without compromising their education. The “heartbeat” of Student of the Month is the student who makes a difference in their home, school and community with sincerity and passion. They must be college or trade-school-bound.

WSB weekly celebrates a staff member that our students would like to spotlight for their amazing contributions to Great Oak Campus Culture.

This past week WSB celebrated Col. Barberides, Chief Jones, Sgt. Macias!

For the past few years these three teachers have worked hard to create one of the elite AFJROTC units in the country. They give of themselves and sacrifice their time to help all aspects of Great Oak. They have high standards for their students and for events at GOHS. They have always been very supportive of GOHS activities ranging from security for events, to setting up, to helping take things down. They support us in so many ways. There are no finer individuals than these three. Great Oak is incredibly blessed to have them.

Thank you for all that you do!

Wear your red wristband to school every day! WSB and PBIS will be surprising students and/or classes with promotional treats.
