Who Was the Spanish Oaks Mascot Named After?

Submitted by kali.brown on

"Carter and Emmalynn Hawks took a family trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico where they found out about how we got our Spanish Oaks Explorers mascot ...  They were able to learn some cool things about the two Spanish priest Explorers that Spanish Oaks mascot is named after.  They visited an old Catholic church in Old Town Albuquerque that these explorers stayed in during their Dominguez-Escalante expedition.  They also saw the monument of them in Green River, as well.  Cool stuff!  The kids felt proud to be an Explorer!"  Thank you, Hawks family,

Bus Lane Safety Help

Submitted by kali.brown on

Parents, thank you for your help in reminding students to not walk across the bus lane.  We want everyone to be safe and when students use the bus lane to cross instead of the crosswalk, it is unsafe.  Thank you for talking with your children about not walking in the middle of the bus lane or in front of the bus, and to always use the cross walk.  This is mainly happening after school, and we are grateful for your help to keep our students safe!
