EDUCATION AND YOUTH8 Mountain Views-News Saturday, November 27, 2021 EDUCATION AND YOUTH8 Mountain Views-News Saturday, November 27, 2021 BETHANY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL HOSTS GRANDPARENTS AND SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY Bethany Christian School held a special Grandparents and Special Friends Day on November 19. The purpose of the event was to honor and give thanks to our students’ grandparents and special friends for the important role they play in their lives. Over 200 guests traveled from as far as Boston, MA and Miami, FL to attend the event. The morning began with Bethany’s unique “Morning Muster” at which the entire school gathered to pledge allegiance to our country and our faith, and listen to a performance by Bethany Lions Choir. This was followed by breakfast in the courtyard with photo booth opportunities and then a program in the gym in which all of the Bethany classes performed numbers to honor their guests. Students were then dismissed to pray with their grandparents and show them their classrooms. As a special feature, many Sierra Madre restaurants offered special discounts so that grandparents could take their grandchildren out to lunch in town following the event. These restaurants included The Only Place in Town, Casa Del Ray, Corfu, Lemon Zest, Lucky Baldwin’s and Mother Moo Creamery. Grandparents and special friends had a wonderful time as expressed by one of the Bethany grandparents who said, “The whole event was extraordinary! All your collective hard work really paid off as the Lord truly blessed us all.” For more information on Bethany Christian School visit www.bcslions.org or call 626-355-3527.

CITRUS COLLEGE FOSTER YOUTH PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTED Jorge Razo shared information on the Citrus College Foster/Kinship Care Education Program and resources. This program is provided for former foster care youth and adults as well as youths on probation. There is no age limit for the Guardian Scholars Program. Students coming into this program are provided resources to minimize barriers to their success. Many students may lack stable housing, or may be single parents themselves. Jorge's program works to build trust with these students and expand the program through "word of mouth". One example of the community partners with the program is the "church ladies". This group of women come together to celebrate birthdays for students in the program -making them a blanking and bringingcupcakes. Most of the students share thatprior to entering this program, no one evercelebrated their birthdays. Jorge shared a sample success story of one former participant who had graduated from Citrus. She was accepted at UC Berkley, became very active in city government and at age 22 is now running for City Council. If you are interested in joining the Duarte Kiwanis or presenting at a future meeting, please contact Tina Carey at tinac51@aol.com. The club is currently meeting virtually through Zoom.
