*Saturday University
Pickleball is back!! Sign up to play pickleball with Ms. Beggs on Saturday. Go to the La Joya website, Saturday University Link to register today!!"

 *    Next week is ARK week (Acts of Random Kindness).
There will be wooden signs throughout the campus encouraging all of La Joya to do acts of random kindness. We will also have the "Kindness tree" for inspiration (located on the North side of the library). In the cafeteria, we will have an "I AM" wall, where students can write a word or phrase that describes them.  On Thursday Apr. 26th, we will have a tie dye dress up day and a rally that afternoon.  During the rally, we will also be granting wishes at our annual make a wish (remember Twenty one Pilots last year?).   Inspirational videos will be shown all of next week, encouraging kindness on a daily basis.  Consider modeling acts of random kindness with fellow Explorers when you walk by a "Kindness" sign.  Finally, you can expect to find a little surprise in your P.E. locker courtesy of ASB/Leadership sometime next week.
