Congratulations to Mr. Ali and the Mock Trial Team. After months of long hours and hard work, the PLA Mock Trial Team competed in the San Joaquin Tournament and had a very successful showing. Although the team did not make the playoffs, they displayed discipline, professionalism, and a work ethic that made all of us feel proud to be a part of PLA. You are all winners!

This school year is quickly coming to an end. Please be advised that school rules still apply, and attendance remains to be very important. I am hearing rumblings of Senior Cut Day. I do not encourage or condone Senior Cut Day, and I expect all students to be in class on time every day.

I am also aware of the traditional Senior Prank. Please understand that any prank must not be harmful to anyone, physically or emotionally, and I will not tolerate any vulgarity, vandalism, or any other inappropriate activity. Students identified creating any disruption of school activity or vandalising the campus in any way will be pulled from our PLA graduation ceremony.

Let's not ruin a good year.

Thank you.
