This annual award is given to students who best exemplify the spirit of Sacred Heart School by living their faith as they per- form acts of service in the school and community and treat every- one with compassion and respect. The recipients of the awards, chosen by the faculty, staff, and administration of the school, were second-grader Margo Salazar and eighth-grader Shane Rhodes.

Gerber school stays with No Excuses University Gerber Elementary School recently learned its re-application to continue membership to the No Excuses University Network of Schools was approved. To renew the membership in this prestigious net- work of like-minded schools, Gerber needed to complete an extensive online re-application focused on the Six Exceptional Systems the school has developed based on the No Excuses University model. The school was required to submit its re- application to the national No Excuses University organization to demonstrate the Culture of Univer- sal Achievement it continues to develop on the campus. Gerber proudly earned this recognition by con- tinuing to demonstrate a commitment to college readiness and through efforts to ensure all children meet or exceed standards in reading, writing and math, no matter their challenges. Gerber Elemen- tary first earned membership to the growing No Excuses Network of Schools in 2012-13. "Being a part of the NEU network has united our staff around a common goal that is student centered and prepares kids for their future in life," said Prin- cipal Jenny Marr. "I cannot think of anything more important than creating a culture that has no limits and no excuses. Our students deserve every oppor- tunity for success and we believe that setting high expectations and creating an environment that pro- motes college and career awareness during their early elementary years will help kids set goals for their future and dream big." In 2004, Damen Lopez founded the No Excuses University Network of Schools in San Diego. This endeavor helps to build a bridge for all students to attend college as it begins promoting a comprehen- sive college readiness model starting in pre-kinder- garten. Ten years after Damen Lopez first began sharing this message with thousands of educators across the country, there are almost two hundred schools participating in the growing No Excuses University revolution. The schools in the NEU Network are not asked to pay any membership dues. Before Gerber Elemen- tary School could apply to initially become a mem- ber of the NEU Network, the principal and a team representing the school's staff attended an NEU Training Institute. Once the school's initial applica- tion for membership is approved by the national NEU organization, the school must re-apply to annually renew its membership. Marr along with at least one staff member are required to attend a No Excuses University National Convention at least every other year. "We are excited to continue our partnership with No Excuses University as part of their network of schools," said Assistant Principal Jason Armstrong. "As part of NEU, we are in partnership with like- minded schools who are dedicated to inspiring all students to accept the idea that college is an option after high school. No matter who our students are, or what their background is, we're spreading the message that they can all go to college." Gerber Elementary is rural K-8 school located just outside the city of Gerber. It serves about 375 students with a dedicated staff of 20 certificated teachers and numerous support staff.
