☕️ Students, please take note!

This is the new manager at the Starbucks on Railroad Avenue, across from the courthouse. She is aware that students sometimes stop by during school hours, especially during lunch.

She made it very clear that if students come in during school time, they will not be allowed to place an order. She is committed to supporting you in being successful and making sure you are in school focused on your education.

So, students… don’t even try it! 😂☕️

Handle your Starbucks run before and after school and stay focused during the school day! 📚🏴‍☠️

Final Day Marine Corps Educators Workshop

What an incredible way to wrap up an unforgettable week at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego! We began the morning by witnessing the inspiring Morning Colors ceremony, the certificate presentations, and had the honor of attending the Bravo & India Company Graduation.

Thank you to the Marines for your hospitality and commitment to educating us about the many opportunities available through the Marine Corps. This experience gave us valuable insight that we can bring back to better serve and guide our students.

Day 4 of the Marines Educators Workshop

We had the honor of watching the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) pinning ceremony for the recruits who officially earned the title of Marine after completing the Crucible. Seeing all that grit and dedication pay off firsthand was incredible.

Afterward, we got to sit down for breakfast with them at the Warriors’ Breakfast to talk about their journeys—why they chose to join the Corps and what’s next after graduation. After everything they’ve been through, it was so refreshing to hear what they were looking forward to most: the simple things. A quick trip to the gas station for an energy drink, catching the new Spider-Man movie, and just taking a breath.

We also got to do a simulation of on of the Crucible challenges the 12 Stalls.

Huge respect and gratitude to these new Marines!

Part 3 of Day 3
We wrapped up the day by taking on the Rappel Tower, building confidence, teamwork, and leadership through hands-on adventure. It’s designed to demonstrate the physical and mental resilience required of Marines while emphasizing safety and proper technique.

Big shout out to Enrique Mendoza for representing Pittsburg well and completing the Rappel Tower!!!!
