On a recent foggy morning, in a forest clearing near Mount Madonna School (MMS), 35 high school students dressed in military-style fatigues, or even shorts, t-shirts and jeans, huddle in two opposing, waist-deep, muddy trenches. Nearby, other students peer watchfully from behind boulders and trees, scanning the surrounding terrain. Students can be overheard discussing in low voices, attack and defensive strategies, all the while listening for the signal to commence ‘battle’.

Several Mount Madonna School 11th and 12th grade students spent Monday’s ‘election eve’ engaging with supporters of incumbent Congressman Sam Farr (D, Monterey) at an event at the Monterey Cookhouse. The students were invited to attend as Farr’s special guests, and were accompanied by MMS high school social studies teacher Ward Mailliard, Farr has represented the 20th Congressional District in Congress since 1993, and was reelected by a huge margin on Tuesday.
At Thursday’s SCCAL Cross Country Finals he qualified for the Central Coast Section (CCS) competition. This is a milestone for MMS: Daniel is our first athlete to compete in Cross Country at the CCS level.
The CCS championship meet will be held on Saturday November 10 at Toro Park in Salinas.

Amid rousing applause and cheers from dozens of Hawks fans, Mount Madonna School’s girls junior varsity (JV) and varsity volleyball teams concluded their regular season play on October 25. The evening held additional significance: it was the last home match, and included time set aside to honor the contributions by the varsity senior players, setter Aimee Hopkins and middle Sanika Lakka.

How do we as parents respond when we are called to meet with our child’s teacher or principle to find out that our child has been bullying other children at school?
Before reacting and defending our child or thinking of ways to discipline her/him it is best to first take a deep breath and stay centered and calm. Checking in with yourself: what is your own feeling and reaction in regards to bullying?
