Need a Better Way to Start Your Day?
Everyone has their ups and downs when it comes to getting up in the morning. However some people have their tips and tricks to stay positive throughout the day. Some include drinking a cold glass of water right when you wake up, or even listening to music in the shower. Whatever you do to start your day off the right way, just know that it's always better to stay happy; everything's going to be alright! Here are several Panthers that have some advice about having a good day.
-Alexis Dagar & Melanie Naraval
Jazmin Gonzalez (11) "Honestly, eat some ice cream. It'll make you feel better, just don't eat it too early in the morning. When I have a morning routine, I wake up knowing what I am going to do and not anything random."
Miguel Corets (12) "Start your day with a healthy breakfast, smile at people, and try to say hello or wave at other people. Making a routine is perfect to manage tour time and day sorted.
Omar Mata (9) "The way I start out having a good day is by being positive and having a lot of energy by eating a healthy breakfast. What's good about having a routine is that it helps you get motivated for the day as well as having a good attitude."

Pump Up the Jam
-Madison Skaufel
Every person in this world has a song that just pumps up their sad soul and lifts it to great clouds of happiness. Whether the song is loud, somber, peaceful or stupidly catchy, there is just always that song that can cheer you up. Some PV students have shared those very songs that make them want to dance.
"Work by Rihanna because it makes me work and feel poppin!" Selena Salinas (12)
"Weekend by Miguel because it gets me ready for the weekend and the way the beat is pumps me up and gets me in a happy feeling." Anthony Rivera (10)
"No Other by Phora. Just the way he delivers his lyrics and the beat, it's just a good song." Uriel Trujillo (11)
"Anyways by Chris Brown because it's Chris Brown and the beat gets me going." Sarah Garcia (12)
Hybrid Animals!
-Alan VanNostrand
PV Graphic Arts students recently created some unique animal hybrids.
Azalea Dwyer (12), creator of the "Snark" explained, "I started off with an innocent snail and aimed to make it as creepy as possible."
Snake + shark + snail = the slow space snark
Triple pitbulls + bat= pittimus maximus: Mess with me, I dare ya…
Cow + penguin+ ice= penguo: got ice-cream?
Snake + shark + snail = the slow space snark

Speaking of FFA...
-Yadira Barrera
Last night, our Panthers competed at the Santa Barbara Sectional FFA Speaking Competition. The speaking skills gained through this event help students excel in school, community and career. This Competition includes Creed Speaking, where members must present the FFA Creed from memory and answer questions about its meaning and purpose; Impromptu, where students are given a topic and they have one minute to think of a 1-2 minute response; Job Interview, in which members submit a resume, complete job applications and participate in mock job interviews with a panel of possible employer; Extemporaneous Public Speaking, where participants are given 30 minutes to deliver a speech on one of three assigned agricultural topics; and Prepared Public Speaking, where students write and deliver a six- to eight-minute speech about a current agriculture-related topic.
Four of PV's Creed Speakers and one Job Interview placed and made the cut to move onto the second round of the competition which will be at the Regional Level.
