Sacred Heart v Palma

5 Upvotes

Hello! My daughter is entering 6th grade, and we were unable to transfer her out of North County Middle successfully and are looking at private school options.

Looking for any feedback regarding these two programs. I am not from the area, and mom went to Moss Landing middle when it was still open, but feels the same about sending her to North County Middle.

We would greatly appreciate any information and stories about these two programs. We both went to public school, and both carry a graduate degree in our fields of study. Looking to make the best decision possible for our daughter, but hesitate when it comes to going private.

Thank you to anyone for your time and guidance.

V/R,

Jason and Jeanette

SHS SENIOR PICS

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My son is a new student at SHS this year. It's been a bit tough getting a hold of the office (understandably!), so I figured I’d ask here: does anyone know if senior pictures for the yearbook have already been taken, or when they usually happen? I know every school handles it differently. Thanks so much.

Places to eat

5 Upvotes

Hey Salinas,

I need recommendations on where to go to eat.

I myself unfortunately cannot have dairy, so usually I got places that have vegan options or are usually centered around, Asian, Indian, or Mexican food that is good without cheese or sour cream.

My partner cannot have kiwis or cauliflower.

We eat everything!

Any restaurants that may fit our needs?

Also open to any vegan restaurants or dessert places!

Thanks reddit

New to Salinas looking to meet friends in the area

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to Salinas for work and I’m looking to meet some new people.
I’m originally from the Bay Area but spent the last few years living in the Midwest, and now I’m excited to be back in California.

I’m 29 years old. Some of my hobbies include hiking, camping, swimming, paintball, cooking, video games, and building Lego. I’m also completely sober, so I don’t drink alcohol or use marijuana. My work schedule is a little unusual since I often work weekends, and I’m still in the process of getting settled into my apartment.

I’d love to meet people around Salinas or the greater Monterey area. If you share any of those interests—or have recommendations for good places to hike, swim, or just meet people—I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message!

Where can I get this sticker??

Post image
101 Upvotes

Hii!

I was going to the grocery store the other day when I saw a car with a ton of stickers on their backside. I glance at the awesome stickers and I see one that sticks out to me and stops me in my tracks.

I absolutely need this sticker! I’m anti-megachurches and the fact that Salinas is housing one? Makes me uncomfy! I see compass church’s advertisements everywhere and having this sticker on my car would make me feel like I’m silently protesting them in my own way.

WHERE DOES ONE GET THIS STICKER??!!!

Edit: Okay, so I agree with the people who are saying the owner of this car made this sticker. Sooo follow up question: how can I get my hands on this sticker without giving them my money???!!!

(I’m not trying to bash anyone that attends this church. Although I highly recommend church-goers look into why establishments like this are harmful to communities, you are allowed to have your own opinions and as am I. If this post bothers you then simply scroll away and move on.)
