Teacher Spotlight: Ms. Spaht
-Melanie Naraval
Ms. Spaht returned this semester from maternity leave, and is back teaching her English classes. Ms. Spaht studied English and got her teaching credential at Cal Poly. She has been teaching high school for 7 years. Ms. Spaht explained that she knew that she wanted to be a teacher ever since she was little. “I would play as a teacher with my sister and make her be the student.”
Now that she has a baby, she expressed, her life busier. “The baby’s name is Nora. Life may be a lot busier, but it’s also more exciting. You get to see the baby do new things she has never done before."
Girls' Varsity Soccer Edges Out Win Over Paso, 1-0

"Our game against Paso was a good game, though, we should've scored more because there were a lot of opportunities given to us. My uncles inspired me to stay dedicated and passionate about soccer, and I have been ever since I was 5 years old. I want to be able to make my uncles proud and I know one day I will."

Hello, it's me! These are just some small 'comics' that I drew. I know that I'm not that great at drawing (obviously) but these are just some things I've experienced- to an extent- and I hope some of these are relatable to you too!

"On the field, it's always intense. We're forced to stay focused and think quickly. The game against Paso was the perfect example. They pressured us to play at the top of our game, and we did. Soccer has gotten me to learn a lot of life lessons. It also keeps me really close to some of my best friends."

"Coming into the game, the whole team comes prepared, and ready to play our hearts out. We all know that we have the potential to get that three peat this season, so we play hard in all games like we did against Paso. We try to play high intensity soccer from start to finish. Soccer is so important to me, because I'll be looking back to the memories I'm making with my team years from now. I want to be able to smile and not regret any games. I'd like to leave a mark before my soccer career is over and I have to move onto reality."
Joseph Aquino (11)
"In the game against Paso, it should not have been a struggle to obtain the win, since we are the way better team. We were up 3-0, but we ended up 3-2. We can really learn from this because we are capable of scoring, but we must improve defensively. We are off to a great start this season and there should be no reason or excuse that impedes us from winning the league championship. Soccer to me, is a part of my life that is irreplaceable."
