Good afternoon Mira Loma Families,

Our fourth full week of school was highlighted by our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 12, 2024. Thank you to all students and families who attended and visited classrooms. Back to School Night was well attended, and I am thankful that I was able to meet so many new and returning families to Mira Loma High School. The event was headlined by our wonderful Band students and our Band Director, Mrs. Sonia Takanikos, who entertained our guests in the Large Gym prior to the all-parent presentation. Thank you to our Band performers and Mrs. Takanikos!

On Thursday of this week after school, our IB Economics students participated in a Microeconomics and Entrepreneurship assignment that involved selling food and competing for customers. The event was a great success and it was wonderful to see a large number of students visiting the booths after school. Great job to our IB Economics students and thank you Mr. Posner for organizing this class activity!

Athletics are in full swing this week, with Cross Country, Girls Tennis, Girls Flag Football, Girls Volleyball, Football, Boys and Girls Water Polo, and Girls Golf all competing. Thank you to our student-athletes, coaches, and parents for your continued participation and positive representation of Mira Loma High school.

Thank you for your partnership and dedication to Mira Loma High School and I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Kaden Bahner

Principal
