Meet Ruby – SBRSD's newest guest therapy dog! She is a 2-year-old poodle who finds time in her busy schedule to visit with students. Alongside her owner, Betsy, Ruby went through 8 weeks of training to become a therapy dog.
Honors 11th-grade English students received the special opportunity to interview Air Force Veteran Alan Romeo about his experience serving in the Vietnam War. Students were able to create real-world connections to Tim O’Brien’s classic American novel The Things They Carried and participate in a moment of sincere thanks for the sacrifices veterans like Al have made for our country. It was a beautiful conversation, and we sincerely thank Alan Romeo for his honesty, courage, and willingness to share his story. Many thanks to retired SBRSD educator Paul O’Brien for creating these connections with the surrounding community, continuing to capture veteran stories through the oral history project, and being willing to set up such meaningful experiences for students.

They monitored the health of a local stream using high-quality science equipment, observed wildlife that depended on freshwater streams and wetlands, and participated in a stewardship activity to benefit their local waterways.
