|
Through the new Youth Food Literacy Program, Orange high school students are getting to sink their teeth into a world of food production, of which many of them were completely unaware. Thirteen juniors and seniors from El Modena and Orange high schools are participating in the program – a collaboration between Orange Home Grown, the city of Orange and the Orange Unified School District, with funding from the Picerne Family Foundation. |

Obituary: Barbara Lawrence Hill, Orange County’s first black teacher, was an educator on campus and off |
|
Barbara Lawrence Hill’s epitaph will always highlight her pioneering role as Orange County’s first black teacher, hired by Santa Ana Unified in 1962 as a substitute grade school instructor in the midst of the civil rights movement and then full time the following year. She got past the racial slights, threats and violence that came with breaking the color line to continue teaching for more than 30 years in Santa Ana and kept her focus on education for another decade in semi-retirement — substitute teaching, tutoring and volunteering. |

Human trafficking prevention ed poised for CA classrooms |
|
Schools can now begin including human trafficking among the comprehensive sexual health education taught to students in middle and high school–lessons policymakers and children’s rights activists say will save lives. Under AB 1227, which was signed into law late last year and goes into effect in June, students and teachers will learn the prevalence of the issue and strategies to reduce the risk of human trafficking and how to identify those being exploited, as well as techniques to set healthy boundaries and safely seek assistance. |

Nearly 75 years after his death, WWII hero’s story to be told by OC student, teacher |
|
On a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery holds the graves of 9,387 Americans, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day invasion and ensuing operations. Nearly 75 years later, a project coordinated by the non-profit National History Day organization seeks to tell the stories of these silent heroes by empowering a handful of student-and-teacher teams to conduct extensive research. One such pairing is from Orange County, and they’re about to embark on a months-long journey of investigation and discovery, culminating with a trip to Normandy, France. |
