Brand New School Year

The block schedule was a crazy switch and was difficult to adjust to. After having a month of our normal 7 period schedule, then having to change to a block schedule
with longer periods was a weird change but it was doable. Dealing with the new block schedule was fairly easy because even though you're constantly waiting for the period to end, it actually gives you time to get a lot done in class and to ask questions that you've never had time to ask in class due to the old short period.

I was in leadership last year, but so far it has been amazing. We've had a huge success with the events that happened like the rally's, dances, etc. The welcome back rally was the start of the continuation of the De Anza rally culture. All the performances and games that occurred at the rally was enjoyable for about most of the students. The homecoming rally would have to be the best rally of 2016 so far. It started off with the homecoming parade that was held at Sheldon Elementary School. The cheerleaders, football players, a few clubs were there, along with the floats from all 4 classes. They all took a lap around the track to show off their class, team, and club. It was a great representation of De Anza throughout the community. The floats looked amazing and it was all worth the blood, cuts, fluffing, and folding because all that hard work led up to that amazing stressful day.

Club week was great for students to show off their clubs and to have more special things for students to be a part of. We have a few new clubs this year such as lettuce club. There were many students signing up for clubs that week and hopefully it was a successful sign up day for all of the clubs.
