Sentinel Snapshot

I was walking through our hallways this week and I came upon this sign. I love that our kids care enough about our culture that they (a) would go through the trouble to make it and hang it, and (b) would be creative enough to involve anyone who is passing by! When people feel included, when they know that they are cared for, when they know they have a voice...that's how we go from good to great. To that end, we are starting "FAB Friday" next week. Our Family Advisory Board is an opportunity to hear from me about the great things we are working on at SHS. If you'd like to stop in and chat I will be available from 7:30-8:30 with coffee!

Getting better, every day. - Jake

Hi Seniors,

I know many of you are in the thick of college applications, or at least thinking about applying. If you haven't already, it's a great time to start looking at colleges that may be right for you. CommonApp is an amazing resource where you can apply to multiple colleges at once. If you need help with college applications, reviewing essays, resumes, or just any questions about post high school life, Dr. Chase and I will be doing "Beyond HS Assistance" during the next Wednesday WIN time.

P.S. During this year, you will feel many emotions ranging from high stress to extreme joy. Don't forget to stop, take a breath, and enjoy the moment. You are all capable of doing great things!

-Mr. Johnson

Sports this week. Let's go Sentinels!

Thank you for supporting our sentinel athletics. Please take a moment to review the payment options for our league.

Our student-athletes and coaches could really use a hand this upcoming school year. We want to make the game day experience great for everyone and need volunteer to make it happen. Below is a link for each sport where coaches have identified areas they could use some help. Please consider taking a shift or two. Even if your student isn't on the team, it could be a great opportunity for you to accompany them to a game and to come see our Sentinels in action.

Training will be provided for all roles.

All volunteers need to be cleared by the school district. You can do so at https://www.steilacoom.k12.wa.us/who-we-are/departments/volunteers/volunteer-application-process.
