SpongeBob took over the Grades 4 & 5 Social last F SpongeBob took over the Grades 4 & 5 Social last Friday, and our Bobcats were all in! They voted for the theme and came ready in their best SpongeBob gear.

There were crafts, a jellyfish jam dance, mini golf, games, and plenty to do. Students enjoyed cheese pizza, popcorn, and cotton candy while hanging out with friends and having a great time. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Today, we proudly hosted our 2025 Senior Project a Today, we proudly hosted our 2025 Senior Project and AP Research Project presentations! As always, our seniors delivered an incredible range of thoughtful, engaging, and inspiring work. It’s truly humbling to witness the depth of their research and the passion behind each project.

A special highlight included a visit from local San Jose Police Department officers—not for any trouble, but to support a student whose project evaluated the difference between public perception and the actual effectiveness of local policing, using ride-along experiences as part of their methodology. Another standout was a custom-built wind tunnel on display in the gym, created by a senior as part of their engineering-focused project.

We’re so proud of the creativity, rigor, and dedication our students brought to their work. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our seniors!

Students explored the concepts of light and sound by identifying different sources, observing vibrations, and discovering how light impacts visibility. They then brought their learning to life by creating a puppet show—complete with thoughtfully designed sound effects to match each scene.
