Anonymous Donor Makes a Big Impact at Leigh
Our Leigh community would like to say a very sincere thank you to the Leigh family who donated $25,000 to the Home and School Club in December. This was an anonymous donation and we would like to thank this family for their very generous contribution to our school. The HSC, Ms. Butler and the donor are working closely together to ensure the funds are used in the most impactful way. Stay tuned as we build out plans for this incredibly generous donation.

Adult Volunteers Needed for AVID
AVID is a national program that provides academic, social and emotional support to students who want to apply to college and succeed there but need additional support. AVID teachers provide scaffolded lessons to students around organization, note taking and study skills. AVID curriculum also includes tutorial time when students are supported in their academic course work.
It is helpful to have adult volunteers in the AVID classroom to help with tutorial and other activities. In return, the adult volunteers learn the tenets of the AVID program and how the ideas of growth mindset and student inquiry can take root in a high school and help all of the students.
Please email Bari Sholomon at
bsholomon@cuhsd.org
or Amanda Borges at

- Read Principal Kara Butler's weekly updates here »
- Read the Daily Bulletin here »
- Save the date for the Performing Arts Parent Association (PAPA) Crab Feed - February 2nd. Tickets will be on sale in early January.
- The Performing Arts Parent Association is so proud of Leigh Marching Band and its Director Alex Christensen for organizing a marching band benefit showcase to provide an opportunity for students to perform and to raise money for the victims of the Camp Fire. Many local marching bands, including Leigh's band, were not able to perform their last competition due to poor air quality from the Northern California files, so Mr. Christensen quickly coordinated with marching bands from Branham, Del Mar, Westmont, Santa Teresa, and Los Gatos to put on an amazing showcase at Leigh High School on November 27. Despite the rainy weather, the show was well attended and the attendees were incredibly generous. Donations of cash and gift cards totaled $16,000. Thanks to all who attended and contributed!
