Successful shell-ebration

Notre Dame High School’s 22nd annual Crab Fest was all it was cracked up to be. More than 400 attendees made a meal of 1,600 pounds of crab at the event, held earlier this month.

The Crab Fest is a fundraiser for Notre Dame’s co-curricular programs, which provide students at the private girls school the opportunity to explore their interests and talents. The school is still accepting donations at https://www.ndsj.org/support-nd/crab-donation.

ALMADEN>>Two Leland High School students and one student from Pioneer High School proved to be creative problem-solvers at a regional competition for future health professionals.

Leland’s Jessica Jackson and Sophie Xu and Pioneer’s Jenna Salles-Cunha are among 18 students from Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE) who qualified for state competition at the HOSA-Future Health Professionals regional competition last month.

HOSA, which stands for Health Occupations Students of America, is an internationally recognized student-led organization—one of two career and technical student organizations at SVCTE. HOSA’s competitive events provide a platform for students to expand their expertise and gain hands-on experience.
