Our enrollment Nov 6 Orchestra Concert has remained stable for the first time in the last 3 years. We are at 1240 students, exactly where we were projected to be when we made our staffing plans last spring.

Nov 11 Swing, Swing, Swing Dance Nov 12 1st Day of Winter Sports Staff Development- One of the questions we get asked constantly is what are teachers working on during Nov 14 Superintendent Parent Mtg the Fridays when students are not in school. This time is very valuable to us as we use it to spend time Nov 15 Drama: “Piece of My Heart” in professional development learning how to become more effective in the classroom. This year it is especially important to have this time as we are learning about the new teacher evaluation system that will Nov 18 Jam Session (Basketball) be implemented starting in 2013-14. There is much we have to learn and become familiar with and having Nov 21 No School large chunks of time to work together is really important for us. Nov 22 No School Nov 23 No School Athletics- As hard as it is to believe, we are a few weeks away from wrapping up the regular season for our Nov 26 PTSA Meeting fall sport programs. Several of our teams are in contention for post-season competition.

I hope in a few years I’ll be able to give back to both.” —Cosme Velazquez, BA ’18 Major: Journalism Minor: Latin American studies PathwayOregon scholar GOAL KEEPER For Cosme Velazquez, the ultimate career would be giving play-by-play commentary for soccer matches. But the journalism major is also considering graduate school. Thanks to PathwayOregon, either goal is possible. Or maybe both. A first-generation college student, the recent UO graduate from Creswell, Oregon, doubts he would have attended the university without the PathwayOregon promise—a guarantee to qualified Pell Grant-eligible Oregonians that tuition and fees will be covered for four years. The scholarship program also offers academic and career support, as well as peer assistance programs. As a mentor, Cosme helped fellow students navigate college life. “It’s just a small thing to give back to the program that’s given so much to me and other people,” he says. Dream Granted As a senior at Creswell High School, Cosme was student body president, captain of the soccer team, and cosalutatorian. But, as he puts it, “Going to college was just like a dream.” Cosme’s best friend—the other salutatorian—also received a PathwayOregon scholarship.

The running lanes weren’t there, and his ankle was bother- some. But with time running down in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, James pinned his ears back and ran for two crucial first downs, effectively sealing a 15-13 win over California. It was that type of evening for the en- tire Oregon team: grinding, frustrating but ultimately good enough. “We’re 10-0,” head coach Chip Kelly said to The Oregonian. “I don’t know how many other undefeated teams there are in the country.” Indeed, the Ducks remain undefeated, one of only four teams left in the nation without a loss. Early on in Saturday’s matchup, how- ever, it looked like that number might drop to three. Oregon received the opening kickoff, looking to put California in an early hole. Instead, the offense turned the ball over on downs, giving possession to Golden Bears at midfield. From there, California running back Shane Vereen went to work.
