GRANTS GO TO TWO TEMPLE CITY TEACHERS


They have been in the classroom themselves, so they know the 
needs of today’s teachers.

 “They” is retired teachers. Retired teachers never stop caring 
about education. For that reason, the local division of California 
Retired Teachers’ Association #71 (CalRTA-SGV) has projects 
aimed at helping local classroom teachers. The ongoing effort of 
this vital, active group is their grant-giving to teachers for materials 
or equipment that enhance students’ learning. 

 Two teachers from Temple City schools in the San Gabriel 
Valley have received classroom grants. Temple City High School 
art teacher Sue Hook has received a grant. Mary Jo Fosselman King 
is Temple City High School’s principal. At Oak Ave. Intermediate 
School, Chris Branson, P. E. teacher, was also a grant recipient. 
Oak Ave.’s principal is Lawton Gray. Chair Patti Hahn and other 
CalRTA #71 members made the presentations at both schools. 

 More classroom grants to other schools will be awarded later. 
CalRTA #71 has allocated an annual amount for school grants as 
a means of helping teachers to meet their classroom needs and 
also as a way of acquainting future retirees with the organization. 
Membership in CalRTA is open to all retired teachers, as well as to 
active teachers and to any others interested in joining.

REP. SCHIFF ANNOUNCES ANNUAL 2016 STUDENT ART COMPETITION 
WITH ONLINE VOTING FOR “PEOPLE’S CHOICE” WINNER 

Burbank, CA – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) announced 
that he will host the annual Congressional Art Competition Forum & 
Exhibit for the 28th District, featuring students’ artwork from the 28th 
Congressional District, on Sunday, April 10, 2016. The Congressional 
Art Competition receives submissions from all across the country. 
The winner from each Congressional District has their work 
displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. This year, 53 students from 
22 schools located in the 28th District participated in the competition. 
In addition, for the last several years, Rep. Schiff hosts a 
“People’s Choice” award, which will be decided through an online 
vote. To vote for the “People’s Choice,” constituents should go 
to Rep. Schiff’s website under Art Competition. Voting will be 
open Monday, March 28 through Wednesday, April 6, 2016. 
“I am continually blown away by the talent and creativity displayed 
in the artwork that is submitted from students around the District 
each year, and this year is no exception,” said Schiff. “I look forward to 
seeing all of these incredible entries in person and welcoming artists 
and their families to celebrate their accomplishments. I am equally 
excited to see who our community members choose as their own 
‘People’s Choice’ pick – so don’t forget to visit my website and vote!” 
The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 
to provide the opportunity for Members of Congress to 
encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young 
constituents. Since then, hundreds of thousands of high school 
students have participated in the nationwide competition. 
The first place winner’s artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol 
for one year, the piece awarded second place will hang in the 
Congressman’s Washington, D.C. Office for one year, the 
piece awarded third place will hang in his Burbank District 
Office for one year and the “People’s Choice” winner’s artwork 
will be displayed in Rep. Schiff’s Hollywood District Office. 
The winners of the contest will be announced at the 28th 
Congressional Art Competition Forum & Exhibit on Sunday, April 
10, 2016. All student participants will receive a Congressional 
Certificate of Recognition. The exhibit will be held at Descanso 
Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge at Van de Kamp Hall located at 
1418 Descanso Drive, La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011. Parking 
and admission to Van de Kamp Hall are free. Exhibit viewing 
will begin at 1:00 pm and the Forum and Awards Presentation 
will take place at 3:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served. 
To RSVP, please contact Teresa Lamb Simpson in Rep. Schiff’s 
Burbank District Office at (818) 450-2900 or (323) 315-5555.
