The Recipe Spot Cheryl Giraud Special to the Observer Without getting too astronomically technical, the first day of autumn is this Saturday, September 22, which extends from the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice, officially marking the end of summer. Soon, summer will be just a faint memory as autumn arrives, the season of harvest, celebrating the bounty of the agriculture season. But with scorching temperatures practically hitting the century mark and the hot, blasting Santa-Ana winds...
As the Principal of Culver City High School (CCHS), I see first-hand the impact the Culver City Education Foundation (CCEF) has on the education of Culver City students. CCEF supports all schools in the Culver City Unified School District, and our school relies on their support every year. In the past year alone, CCEF has awarded CCHS teachers grants for new computers, LCD projectors, laptops, and document cameras. Field trips and art competition fees were funded. Teachers purchased software, audio / visual equipment, microscopes and cameras....
I had the pleasure of being PTA president at El Marino Language school for the last two years. When I began I had one mission in mind for our school— a beautiful veggie garden that the kids could use as a "classroom" to learn and to enjoy. Thanks to CCEF we were able to start by bringing the Growing Great classroom program to school. This enabled us to teach grades 3-5 about the importance of eating healthy and how to read food labels, including ingredients lists. It also gave the kids a chance to try new foods they had never had. Each month w...
I would like to say a big “thank you” to the Culver City Education Foundation for awarding me a grant to purchase a new Tablet PC for my mathematics classroom. This innovative technology tool has allowed me to create a dynamic classroom environment that both engages students and encourages participation. It helps me to expand my instruction and enable my students, particularly my English language learners, to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Please join me in supporting CCEF’s "All For 1 Campaign" with a donation to co...
As a parent of two middle schoolers, I know personally the impact that the funds raised, and carefully distributed, by the Culver City Education Foundation have. As a school board member serving during the worst fiscal crisis since the Great Depression, I know how important our local community has been to our schools, year after year in responding to our students’ needs in the face of relentless cuts from our state and federal governments. Our local print and online news sources have been full of requests to support CCEF’s All for One cam...
Like a lot of you, I’m anxious to see how the Lakers will look with Steve Nash and Ryan Howard in their lineup. But I’m equally anxious to find out something else – something, in fact, that may be just as important as the acquisition of these star players. With the start of training camp just a few days away, there’s a lot of speculation about what’s happening in regard to the team’s offense. John Kuester was the assistant coach last season who was in charge of the offense. Last week the La...
Backups Stumble But Culver Wins Last Friday’s game against Redondo almost seemed like three games in one for the Culver City High football team. There was the first quarter, when the Centaurs fell behind 6-0 and did little offensively. Then there was the next 2 ½ quarters, when Culver City dominated and took a 32-13 lead. And then there was the final four minutes, when Coach Jahmal Wright put in the backups with a seemingly safe lead and almost lived to regret it. But the Centaurs held off a late Redondo rally and held on to beat the Sea Ha...
In a race for the National League second wild card spot at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers and Cardinals split a four-game regular season series which was last weekend. That left the Dodgers still one game behind the Cardinals in their hopes of making the playoffs. When these two teams play, it’s always a heated battle, and the heat was on full blast, literally and figuratively, as the thermometer reached 91 and 95 degrees during the first two night games of the series. But that didn’t stop the fan...
