Trick, Treats & Rocketeers

by Logan Juve Janicula, Integrated Special Education Program Specialist

Our Rocketeers work hard daily to grow their brains and push their thinking. One of our favorite ways to celebrate their accomplishments is by playing as hard as we work! What better day to celebrate together than Halloween? Here are some of our favorite photos from last year’s celebration – we can’t wait to see what characters our students dress as this year!

: Heroes – both everyday and supernatural – abound at Rocketship, keeping our schools safe and fun!

: Even without all his teeth, Batman spreads good cheer and happiness through the halls of Rocketship Brilliant Minds.

: It’s a mix of fun and spooky when clowns and skeletons come to school!

: Even monsters need a little help from princesses.

: Hulk is smashing through math facts and reading fluency – but only after smashing through his Halloween candy!

: Calaveras makeup reminds us that Halloween shares the 31st of October with Día de Muertos.

: It’s wonderful when Rocketeers show up as man’s best friend.

: Rocketeers soar to new heights with the help of fairy wings, broomsticks and brainpower!

: Halloween is definitely something worth roaring about!

: Sound the alarm – these kinder cops are ready for patrol!

: When heroes and pirates combine their powers for good, great things can happen!

: This Mario clan is on the prowl for gold coins!

Logan came to Rocketship in 2013 after spending three years in a neighboring district in east San Jose. She learned about Rocketship’s inspired full inclusion model and knew within her first days as a Rocketeer that she was in the right place to influence change for all students. Logan is most inspired by her students who seem to inherently understand that learning can be messy and difficult, but who are willing to jump in headfirst anyway. Logan lives with her husband and her dog in sunny Santa Cruz and spends her extra time playing on the beaches or hiking underneath the redwood trees in her backyard.
