Spirit Day next week! Come dressed your BEST, choose an era, and dress in fashion inspired by that era. Join us in the Student Union at lunch for a “fashion show” runway display of everyone’s looks. Teachers, students, staff, and everyone in between, we’re encouraging you to join too!
The 2023 theme of Black History Month is Black Resistance and the BSU has LOTS of events planned for the entire month. This week we have a student from LMU’s BSU coming to speak with our students about college life, on Tuesday Feb. 7th over zoom during lunch time – 12:25 – 12:50. If Mon/Thursday cohort students would like to join over zoom here is the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6173950341?pwd=aDk4ZUVLV2wxdFd4YjRXUC9uVjRIUT09
Tying into the theme of Black Resistance, we are also having a screening of the movie The Woman King after school on Friday the 10th, which both cohorts are invited to attend.
Don’t forget to keep checking the Black facts and figures pasted around the school for the Battle Of The Advisories Kahoots coming soon 😉

The UCLA Game Lab Summer Institute introduces high school students to game-making as an artistic practice, teaching them techniques and tools to develop analog and digital games that reflect their own creative vision. No previous game-making skills are required. Students with an interest in games and visual arts will find the curriculum especially rewarding–and those who complete the two-week program receive 4 units of college credit!
This summer we’re featuring two sessions of the program: an online, virtual classroom version, as well as an in-person, residential program on campus at UCLA. The two sessions offer nearly identical instruction and game design projects—but now you can choose between an online or an on-campus experience! The dates for Summer 2023:
The Summer Institute program is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we welcome students of all cultural, racial, gender, linguistic, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and physical abilities.
Registration starts February 15 at the UCLA Summer Sessions website. Spaces in both programs are limited—and they tend to fill up pretty fast. So if you’re interested in learning all about game design this summer, please visit that site soon–and please read on to learn more about what makes the UCLA Game Lab Summer Institute so special!
Scholarships are available:

Sandpipers has provided financial assistance to college-bound students since 1941 and is the oldest continuing aid program in the South Bay. Supporting more than 50 students per year, the program is unique in funding our qualified recipients throughout the four continuous years of their undergraduate studies. View our video about our Scholarship Program here: https://www.sandpipers.org/scholarships
For the 2022-2023 school year, Sandpipers awarded more than $300,000 to 55 college students (Freshmen – Senior years). Each student received a minimum of $500 with some receiving as much as $10,000 for the school year. This amount is based on their outstanding financial need from their FAFSA report.
High school seniors living in the South Bay (both citizens and eligible non-citizens as defined by the U.S. Department of Education) are eligible to apply for a Sandpipers Scholarship for the 2023-24 school year. Detailed eligibility requirements are stated below.
The entire Sandpipers Scholarship Application is online. The application is now available and can be accessed at this link: https://app.smarterselect.com/programs/86862
Similar to last year, the application should be easier for students in terms of the financial information that we are asking them to provide. This year, applicants need to provide their FAFSA that lists their Estimated Family Contribution (EFC.) If they did not do the FAFSA, then they will need to upload their parent/guardian(s) tax return, with all social security numbers crossed off.
All applications are due on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 5 PM, no exceptions.
The Sandpipers Scholarship Committee conducts a rigorous review of ALL applications. Sandpipers will select up to 20 candidates to meet with the Sandpipers Scholarship Committee for virtual interviews. From those 20 students interviewed, the Committee will select between 12-14 students as Sandpipers Scholarship recipients for 2023-24.
We base our selection of our scholarship recipients on the following:
· Students’ community and school involvement
· Academic achievement
· Leadership
· Financial need
· Personal commitment to financially contribute to their own education via work-study, part-time employment, etc.
· Note: children and grandchildren of Sandpipers’ members are not eligible.

High school seniors meeting all eligibility requirements below may apply for a Sandpipers Scholarship:
Again, online applications with all supporting materials uploaded (essay, transcript, letters of recommendation) need to be completed by 5 p.m. on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
