Notes from the Nest ๐ฆ
HEALTHY EVER AFTER by Torrance Memorial Medical
Healthy Ever After (HEA) is a program sponsored by Torrance Memorial Medical Center. HEA was created for Torrance Unified School Districtโs Elementary Schools to promote healthy eating and lifestyles for children and youth in the community. The goal of HEA is to teach kids how to make healthy lifestyle choices. HEA consists of four nutrition lessons per school year that are accompanied by a healthy snack. These snacks expose students to healthy foods that go hand in hand with the nutritious foods served in the cafeteria each day.
From October 28th to November 4th, 1st - 5th graders will be offered a special snack as part of a Healthy Ever After nutrition lesson. The healthy snack will include Pretzel Goldfish Baked with Whole Grain. If you DO NOT want to have your child participate please submit this completed form. If you are fine with your child receiving this snack, you do not have to complete the google form. Thank you.
Counselor's Corner - ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
October is Bullying Awareness and Prevention month.
In October, students in the 2nd through 5th grade attend a bullying prevention and awareness assembly in the cafeteria with the counselor. We review how Anza's behavioral expectations of being safe, responsible and respectful help us know when and how to address bullying.
We talk about how each person in a bullying scenario might feel -- the target of the bullying, the person doing the bullying and those who join in, as well as those who see it happening and don't react. And then we talk about how it feels and what it means to be an Upstander -- the pride, the courage, along with mixed feelings like feeling worried, scared, or confused, that can occur.
We take pride at Anza in being Upstanders, and many students shared the steps that they can take to stand up against bullying for our Unity Day activity. Please encourage your child to be an upstander and to report bullying to adults.
Thank you,
Gloria Gutierrez, MA, PPS

Metro GO Pass
REMINDER! Metro Go Passes are now available for all students! Image Links
Our Board of Education voted to extend the free Metro GoPass program for a second year, and we are proud to offer this benefit all our students. The program includes a Metro TAP (Transit Access Pass) card that offers FREE unlimited rides on Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) bus rail and subway lines, including Torrance Transit, Long Beach Transit, Culver CityBus, Gardena Transit (GTrans) and LADOT Dash.
If you have a TAP card from last year, you will need a new code, which you can pick up from our school office. We also have a stock of TAP cards for new riders or those who lost their old cards. New cards will need to be activated before being used. For more information, visit https://www.tusd.org/administrative-services/metro-gopass.
West High Football Community Night
On November 1st, we will be holding our annual football game with the middle school band students joining our band and cheerleaders performing from the youth cheer camp hosted by our cheer team.
As a reminder, non-high school students must be accompanied by a supervising adult. West Area elementary and middle school students will be admitted for free (middle school students must show their IDs), but all adults will need to purchase tickets to the game.
