Paramount High School Students Honored The Board of Education and Superintendent Dr. Pérez recognized Paramount High School students Gabriel Orozco, Anthony Farias, Juan Garza and Fernando Melgar for their heroic efforts at the scene of an accident that occurred at Paramount High School that injured four of their fellow Pirate classmates. Gabriel, Anthony, Juan and Fernando were the first on scene and took immediate action by picking up the section of a mangled fence, which was
resting upon one of the injured students. Despite the shocking and horrific scene, they did not stand back but rather took it upon themselves to take immediate action. Their actions are commendable and truly
heroic. We cannot thank them enough for their quick thinking and quick action given their young age. Their actions went beyond any expectation and these students truly lived what a PIRATE is all about.

Piratas. Gabriel, Antonio, Juan y Fernando fueron los primeros en la escena y tomaron acción inmediata al levantar la sección del cerco destrozado que se colocaba sobre uno de los estudiantes heridos.

medidas inmediatas. Sus acciones merecen mérito y son verdaderamente heroicos. No podemos agradecerles lo suficiente por su rapidez de reflexión y acción rápida dada su corta edad. Sus acciones fueron más allá de cualquier expectativa y estos estudiantes realmente vivieron lo que es ser un Pirata.

The California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom is a state program dedicated to helping students and teachers gain an understanding of how agriculture provides the daily essentials necessary to make our society and our world function.

in writing about and researched in Collins School’s computer lab. Mrs. Brennan submitted stories from students from her class to the regional representative for the CFAITC. Teachers from across the state submitted stories for the contest. Kamara Wilson represents student writers from Region Four, ALL of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego Counties! Regional winners receive a plaque, and children’s books from the CFAITC. Students wrote original stories related to California agriculture. Kamara wrote “The Sunflower Problem”.
