Student Future Ready Events has developed a countywide Esports League, giving students the chance to face off in regular matches throughout the school year. Team will compete for top honors in two major tournaments — one on December 13 and one being planning for May 16. The cost to participate is $75 per team.
Esports in education goes far beyond gaming — it builds teamwork, communication, problem-solving skills, fosters sportsmanship, and connects students with peers who share similar interests. Participation can also spark interest in careers in technology, design, and media.

High school student-athlete sportsmanship conference, Huddle, scheduled for September 24; Universal Prekindergarten’s annual Reimagining Early Learning Conference set for September 27
Woodlake High School students Guillermo Rosales, Jose Tadeo, and Luis Jimenez all played a part in helping save Manuel Garcia's life -- a student in the school’s AcCEL program -- before an ambulance arrived. They, along with teacher Stephanie Hayes, instructional aides Raquel Marquez and Alberto Montemayor, and WHS assistant principal Victor De La Cruz, all jumped into action to assist Manuel.
At one point, the boys helped to stand Manuel up so that the Heimlich Maneuver could be performed.
AcCEL staff presented the boys with a goodie basket to say thank you. They were also recognized for the Pillar of Citizenship by CHARACTER COUNTS!
