Challenge Day
Thursday, March 31
It's time to sign up for CHALLENGE DAY! The goal of Challenge Day is to help stop the teasing, alienation and lack of empathy that is so deeply a part of the school experience for millions of young people every day. Through a variety of games, trust-building activities and presentations, you will be given a unique opportunity to see yourself and the people around you through a new set of eyes.
Challenge Day has not only received numerous awards, but has also been featured in the best-selling book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Teen Files: Surviving High School. This is a great opportunity for Monta Vista Students to be part of this part of this positive experience.
Space is limited, so interested students should register ASAP by turning in the permission slip. Learn more here.

Challenge Success: PDF?
Move over Adobe, Stanford’s Challenge Success has given “pdf” new meaning: play time, downtime and family time.
The concept of reducing stress to enhance students’ quality of life and academic performance is catching on. Check out this recent New York Times article for more perspective.
Monta Vista, funded in part by the PTSA, began working with Stanford’s Challenge Success in 2013. The focus of this work is to create an environment that fosters academic excellence while reducing unnecessary stress. For more information, please visit the Monta Vista’s Challenge Success page.
