This week’s spotlight is James Ethan Escamilla, a first grader in Ms. Oliver’s class at Heritage. He loves getting up early for school because he is ready to learn math. He really loves math and is very good at it. His second favorite class is PE as his high energy suits it perfectly. The only thing he loves as much as math and school are video games. Among those, Minecraft, Roblox, and Mario Cart are his favorite. One of his goals is to play Pac Man, some day. Some of his responsibilities at home include feeding the chickens, the cat, and his two dogs, Miko and Weasel. He has a little sister, but she does her own thing. Welcome to Heritage, James. Have a great year!
This week’s staff spotlight shines on Corina Pena, a new addition to Southside this year. Ms. Pena brings a wealth of teaching experience and instructional leadership from her previous district.
