ON-GOING VOCATIONAL SERVICE PROJECTS

LITERACY PROGRAM:  In coordination with a local elementary school we are working the faculty to provide needed equipment to facility learning.  Nora Sterry Elementary school, located in West Los Angeles, has one of the lowest demographics in Los Angeles Unified School District.   The school has many needs and is a potential object of community projects as well as Literacy Projects.

The school has identified a critical need for an overhead projector.  This is currently under consideration as a donation.

TEACHER MICRO GRANT PROGRAM:  Currently under development, the teachers have been asked to submit grant proposals ranging from $100.00 - $300.00 for specific classroom needs that will ultimately benefit literacy.   The grants are open to books, materials, software, or any other creative teaching aids that will promote literacy and a love of learning.

RECOGNITION AWARDS:  The following citizens are awarded Paul Harris Fellowships in recognition of their achievements:

Police Officer of the Year

ROTC Cadet of the Year

Firefighter of the Year
