On Wednesday, March 3, Senior Mary Thompson signed
an NCAA Letter of Intent.  Mary plans to attend Seattle University as an English major and to participate on the cross country and track and field teams. 

 


2/26/2010 As part of Senior Service Learning, these seniors worked at the Habitat for Humanity construction site in Thousand Oaks.  Shown here (left to right) are Caitlyn Hardy, Natalie Harlacher, Madeline Rumer, Taylor Cobleigh, Mikayla Cowley, Kelly Godfray, Jenna Collins, Devon Ho and Jacy Bessolo.  Seniors also spent time at Catholic Charities (Ventura and Moorpark), Lil' Saints Preschool (Oxnard) and Notre Dame Learning Center (Thousand Oaks). 

2/11/2010 Congratulations to Emily Schlueter '11 who recently completed her Girl Scout Gold Award Project, "Wild Things."  Emily researched and designed an educational program for a "Kids 'n' Kritters" summer camp at the Humane Society in Dubuque, Iowa--where she volunteers during the summer.  "Wild Things" helps children learn about encountering wildlife in their area; the Humane Society will now take the program to the public schools so that other children can learn about the wildlife of Eastern Iowa.

2/10/2010 The La Reina community gratefully acknowledges these staff members who are celebrating anniversaries of service:

30 years - Don Hyatt and Irene Woodall

25 years - Rebecca Joyce Adams '81, Sadhana Neurgaonkar, Yolanda Rogers and Bob Sisco

2/2/2010 The Regents recently held a school-wide drive for donations to assist earthquake victims in Haiti.  In just one day, a total of $8,787.43 was raised and will be sent to Catholic Relief Services.  La Reina students continue to demonstrate service to the local, national and global community through fundraising and other activities.  Recent global efforts include support for a mission in Uganda, sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame, as well as Katrina victims in New Orleans.   Examples of local outreach include the "Adopt-a-Family" program through the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles and the "Relay for Life" team.  Campus minister Kristi Hutter Balleweg '91 stated, "It is important for students to respond to those in need and to learn the positive impact of their sacrifices."

12/16/2009 This Christmas, the students and staff of La Reina High School adopted 25 families, totaling approximately 120 individuals.   According to Sr. Rebekah Kennedy, La Reina’s religion department chairperson, these families are included in the “Adopt-a-Family-Program” through the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles.  Clothing, shoes, toys, bikes, beds and bedding, and other household furnishings and supplies were donated.  The gifts will be delivered through St. Francis Center, an agency which serves homeless and near homeless adults and children in the South Park and Garment District neighborhoods of downtown Los Angeles.  In this photo, Kelly Kohler ’11 helps to load the gifts onto the delivery truck. 


12/1/2009 Congratulations to Alexis Williams '10 whose artwork won first place in the Ventura County Science Fair Poster Contest! 

A local panel of educators and scientists judged her design--of a young woman morphing into a robot--to be the best representation of the theme, "Science for Change."  There were more than 175 entries from students throughout Ventura County.  Alexis' art will be featured in posters and other information that will publicize the science fair.

Alexis was also featured in a recent article in the
Ventura County Star. 
10/24/2009 Congratulations to Emily Castillo '11, Claira Castillo '13, Elly Shao '12, Victoria Thomas'11, Dori Wilcox '11 and Alice Zielinski '12 (not shown).  They took two robots to the Beach City Robotics Competition at Hawthorne High School on Oct. 24.  After more than 70 matches involving 36 teams, the Robo-Regents B team, represented by Elly Shao and Claira Castillo, shared the Tournament Championship with their alliance partners from Van Nuys and San Jose.  This result qualifies the Regent teams for the world championships in Dallas.  Go Robo-Regents!

10/8/2009 CONGRATULATIONS to the students participating in Regent speech and debate programs! 

They recently earned significant recognition by the NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE.  Because the La Reina chapter achieved 100 degrees or more during 2008-09, the Regents placed in the top 10% of NFL chapters nationwide and qualified for the NFL "100 Club."
