Good Character at San Cayetano
Ms. Chambers’ class was honored with the People Respecting People (PRO) Award. By Anonymous — Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
Mrs. Chisholm’s class received the People Respecting People (PRO) Award. On Monday, April 12, 2010, San Cayetano School recognized good citizenship and character at their Peacebuilder Assembly for the month of April. Mr. John Wilbur, Principle of Fillmore High School, came to speak to the students. Mr. Wilbur spoke to the students about how being a good citizen and friend, not only at school, but at home would also help them to make a better life for themselves. Joe Giunta and Christina De La Mora, the San Cayetano ASB President and Vice-President assisted Mr. Wilbur in handing out the Peacebuilder certificates. The Peacebuilders for April are: Maria Barajas, Jayla Martinez, Leo Venegas, Ruben Desoto, Janeah Castro, Filiberto Magana, Anthony De La Torre, Neidy Rincon, Karen Trujillo Villanueva, Monica Ramos, David Rodriguez, Melia Galindo, Coy Gossage, Hailey Carrillo, Karina Cisneros, Jorge Hernandez, Josie Paniagua, Perla Chavez, Abby Sanchez, and Austin Reed. At the lower grade assembly, Joe then announced to the students that the Rainbow Foundation is sponsoring the San Cayetano Character Counts Award of a $100.00 savings bond. Matthew Henschel was chosen by the third grade teachers as a model of outstanding behavior, responsibility, and kindness to the other students. He was recognized with a certificate and the savings bond. Another highlight of assembly were the speeches given by San Cayetano’s Migrant Speech and Debate team coached by kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Capra. Diego Garcia, Johanna Garcia, Julisa Garza, and Nathalie De La Herrera have been practicing their public speaking skills to compete in the Ventura County Migrant Speech and Debate Tournament for grades 4-12 that was held in March. Each student was able to give one of their speeches that they read at the tournament. To conclude the assemblies, Christina reminded the students to turn in their Perfect Attendance tickets. Each month all students who come to school, each day, on time, are given an orange raffle ticket. The students place their tickets in a box and one ticket is drawn. The student whose ticket is drawn is given a backpack full of supplies. Each month, the tickets will be put into a larger box that will be kept until the end of the year. In June, Mrs. Marholin, the principal, will draw from the tickets to give away two new bicycles. Sandra Chavez, from Room 24, won the Perfect Attendance Award for April. |
