🚨New on breaolindawildcat.com: Slices of colorful sashimi — ruby-hued tuna, tangy orange salmon, pale pink yellowtail, chewy white octopus — lay in perfect rows on a plastic-wrapped, lettuce-lined plate. I watch impatiently as my mother peels back the plastic wrap and piles the glistening slabs onto our plates. My jiichan’s (“grandfather” in Japanese) sashimi arrangements are always beautiful, and I know from years of experience that they taste even better.

Sashimi plates, at this time in my life, were a beloved family tradition.

Jiichan had made a career out of fish peddling, selling the raw, ice-packed goods out of the back of his truck to the many regular clients he accumulated over the years. Even after retirement, he still continued to procure good fish for his family.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and in appreciation

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and in appreciation of nature, students in Jill Matyuch’s psychology were asked to submit a photo of the fall foliage on the BOHS campus on Nov. 21.

“Taking a break with nature allows us to slow down and practice gratitude. Even in the midst of hustle and bustle, our campus provides ample opportunities for restorative moments,” Matyuch said. 🐾🍁

In colder parts of the country, it’s not unusual

In colder parts of the country, it’s not unusual for students to get a day off of school when heavy snow makes roads impassable and driving hazardous.

Increasingly, however, schools are being closed due to threats of violence made on social media.

On Nov. 13, Brea Olinda High School and BOUSD leadership canceled school due to a threat of gun violence posted to Instagram.

While BOHS, located in sunny Orange County, won’t ever experience a closure due to snow, it has — and will again, sadly — close due to the unceasing epidemic of school shootings.
