A Great Start!

The past few months have been a nice concoction of STRESS and excitement. Just starting from day one of school, it was already obvious to see the major changes that have impacted our school from our awesome new Link Crew, to the interesting new renovations to our academies, and the cool new clubs we've added to our growing student body! The first quarter of my senior year has been a truly memorable one and I'm proud to have been a DA Don for the past four years! I've been blessed to have such an amazing team to work with my past two years and it truly is because of all the hard work of everyone in our leadership class that such an awesome first quarter was possible!

The true highlight of the first quarter was De Anza's Homecoming week; all of our blood, sweat, and tears all culminated to that one big week! We started off the week the same way we always do with our spirit days! As always, the seniors dominated spirit week, easily sweeping away at all the competition (like we always do). Spirit Week finally led to our Homecoming Parade! The most I remember about the Homecoming Parade was how excruciatingly long the whole day was. I had just spent the night before at a float all nighter so I was already exhausted. After busy hours of logistical set up we finally began our parade at Sheldon Elementary School! We arrived with many of our De Anza clubs, academies, fall sports, and marching band and met up with the homecoming floats who were already there waiting for us! Once our students started to get settled and organized we began our Homecoming Parade and finally started to make our way back to De Anza
Homecoming Day was a really busy day that was only one of the many busy days leadership had this year! As busy and overloaded we all were, everybody reacted surprisingly well; everyone always looked for an area to help out in and because of this, we were able to accomplish each task that was thrown at us. From the Homecoming Committee, the Rally Committee, and to the Blood Drive Committee, everyone did an amazing job in working towards an excellent start to the school year and building a better De Anza!
