ANTONOVICH PROCLAIMS NATIONAL TEEN DRIVERS
SAFETY WEEK IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY

Supervisor Antonovich, Jeri Dye Lynch, Donnelle Dye, and Bobbie Dye

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich proclaimed the week of October 14-20th as National Teen Drivers Safety Week in Los Angeles
County and recognized the efforts of the Conor Lynch Foundation in raising awareness about teen driving safety.

“Proclaiming National Teen Drivers Safety Week in Los Angeles County will honor Conor’s memory and bring attention to the dangers
of driving while distracted,” said Antonovich.

On the afternoon of October 19, 2010 in Sherman Oaks, 16-year-old Conor Lynch was killed when a distracted teenage driver struck
him while he was crossing Woodman Avenue with his high school cross country team.

The Conor Lynch Foundation benefits new and existing programs that raise awareness and promote the safety of pedestrians, runners,
cyclists and young drivers. Visit the Conor Lynch Foundation at: http://inhonorofconor.org/ .

From PUSD Weekly
Newsflash -

SIERRA MADRE

UPPER CAMPUS

OFFICIALLY A

MIDDLE SCHOOL

At its meeting October 9, the
PUSD Board of Education approved
the establishment of Sierra
Madre Middle School as a
separate grades 6-8 entity from
Sierra Madre Elementary in the
2013-2014 academic year. The
district’s successful Mandarin
Immersion program, located
at Field Elementary for grades
K-5, will also eventually expand
to the middle school grades at
the Sierra Madre Middle School
campus. Except for attendance
zone residents, students who enter
kindergarten at Sierra Madre
Elementary School in 2013-2014
will no longer be guaranteed
placement at the middle school.
Current students will be “grandfathered”
for placement in the
middle school.

Movie Reviews Especially for Teens & ‘Tweens

PITCH PERFECT

We’d like to hear from you! What’s on YOUR Mind?

While at first this movie seems
like just another flunk comedy, ‘Pitch
Perfect’ is surprisingly good. I found
myself laughing even at the jokes that
I thought weren’t be very funny, which
shows that the director (Jason Moore)
and screenwriter (Kay Cannon) put a
lot of work into making this hilarious
and interesting.

Aspiring DJ Beca (Anna Kendrick)
has been forced to go the the college
where her father teaches. However, she
yearns to go to L.A. and get famous,
which her father promises to allow if
she goes to college for a year and truly
does not like it. Eventually, Beca joins
her school’s all girl singing group the
Barden Bellas, who are led by Aubrey
(Anna Camp) and Chloe (Britanny
Snow). Together, Beca and the Bellas
must climb to the top to clear their
name and defeat the rival all boy group,
the Treblemakers.

With an unusually intriguing plot
that pulls this movie along, unlike
other comedies where the humor takes
the lead, ‘Pitch Perfect’ is a new age
comedy that will please both old and
young.
