Middle and high school students and their parents will want to
make plans to attend this year's College and Career Fair, set for 5
to 8 p.m. Oct. 30 at the Glendale Civic Auditorium, 1401 N. Verdugo
Road.
Recruiters from more than 140 colleges, universities and
occupational fields will be on hand to answer questions and provide
information. Representatives from business and industry, law
enforcement, the military, vocations and trades also will be there to
talk with students about opportunities in their respective fields.
The fair, now in its 10th year, is sponsored by the Glendale
Unified School District in cooperation with the district's five high
schools, the Glendale Council PTA and the city of Glendale. Admission
is free.
For more information, call the District's Career Education Office
at 241-3111, ext. 324.
Here's what's happening at Glendale cluster schools:
CERRITOS ELEMENTARY
A dedicated group of about two dozen Cerritos parents are working
hard at the school this year, helping teachers in the classroom,
volunteering in the computer lab and school library and taking on a
variety of other jobs as needed.
GLENOAKS ELEMENTARY
PTA parents are planning a full slate of activities for Red Ribbon
Week, which begins Monday. As part of the observance, students will
plant hundreds of red, white and blue flower bulbs, an effort that
surely will pay out big dividends in the spring. The school
foundation, meanwhile, is readying plans for its annual fall
reception, to be at the Los Angeles Zoo in November.
HORACE MANN ELEMENTARY
Congratulations to fourth-graders Gabriela Castillo and Renee
Garza, who recently had items published on the children's page of the
Los Angeles Times. Students will wear their clothes backward Friday
to show they will turn their backs on drugs, part of the school's Red
Ribbon Week observances.
JOHN MARSHALL ELEMENTARY
Students in the primary grades are about to begin weekly
instruction in music appreciation, singing, rhythm and note reading
as part of the Music Docent program. Second- and third-grade
students, meanwhile, will enjoy a 12-week, after-school arts program
put on by the Armory of Arts in Pasadena.
JOHN MUIR ELEMENTARY
Principal Amaly Avakian is proud to report the number of Muir
students scoring above the 50th percentile on all portions of the
spring Stanford 9 test increased 60% from last year.
All students are selling gift-wrapping paper and other items to
help send this year's sixth-grade students to outdoor education camp.
R. D. WHITE ELEMENTARY
