The week of Dec. 16, through Dec. 20, 2024 marks the end of the first semester for Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech) students. With this week comes the pressure of finals, last-minute studying, completing projects and reviewing months of material. Despite the stress, students persevere, looking forward to a well-earned two-week winter break after their rigorous exams.
At the winter holidays approach, Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech) held its annual candy cane drive. Candy canes, the perfect holiday treat, were dispersed in decorated jars in every science classroom, from Mrs. Anderson to Mr. Weldele. Students in these classes were encouraged to donate a dollar and receive one of these treats in return, a donation that goes to the National Marrow Donor Program, formerly known as Be The Match.
During Winter Week at Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech), seniors smile in their coziest sleepwear for Pajama Day. This year Foothill Tech's own Associated Student Body (ASB) organized a spirit week which includes holiday accessories, ugly sweater day, pajama day, and Santa's workshop.
The San Buenaventura Mission, a staple of the Ventura community, serves as the stage for music performances and pictures. As crowds gather, the countdown starts. The tall Norfolk Christmas trees lit up the sky as the streets of downtown Ventura filled with holiday cheer on the night of Friday, Dec. 6. Guests enjoyed warm food and drinks on this eventful evening.
