Good morning, Falcons! In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ll be recognizing the important achievements of women in Kern County! From the Bakersfield Californian: “Mary Dodge was the first woman police officer in Bakersfield. The year: 1941. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Dodge was a teacher before she was a police officer. She aced the police department's entrance exam and, in 1953, became the first woman in California promoted to lieutenant.”
Speaking of inspiring women, it’s also Social Work Month, so we’d like to recognize our amazing social worker, Angelica Barajas! She is an incredible resource for our campus and is a champion for students’ mental health!
Today is the final day of the Link Crew scavenger hunt! Today's challenge is to take a photo with your counselor. Prizes will be awarded to the first 3 students who complete the scavenger hunt. Come to the quad during lunch to collect your prize.
Reminder:
Monday's challenge was to take a photo with an art teacher.
Tuesday's challenge was to take a photo with Mr. Boos (Teacher of the Year).
Wednesday's challenge was to take a video of yourself doing a burpee or a squat.
Thursday's challenge was to take a video of yourself performing an act of kindness on campus, such as picking up trash.
Have fun!!
