|
Students screamed, bowling balls swung through the air and Ducks skated as more than 16,000 elementary students in third through sixth grade gathered at the Honda Center on Wednesday, Feb. 28. More than 170 schools sent their students for the First Flight Field Trip, this year themed “Turn Up The Energy.” The educational program allowed students to try hands-on science experiments that demonstrated the principals of energy at various stations set up in the parking lot of the Honda Center. |

|
In the wake of the recent high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 people were killed, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District board heard from staff and school resource officers Tuesday about local school safety methods. Those precautions, across the district's 32 schools, include resource officers from the Newport Beach and Costa Mesa police departments, suicide prevention training, controlled access to campuses, a social media presence, drills for staff and students, threat assessments and emergency response training with local law enforcement, officials said. |

Orange County parents opt to put children in language immersion programs |
|
Courtney Dezahd grew up speaking English only, and when she was pregnant with her daughter, she was determined that her children would be different. In addition to English, they would learn Mandarin, she decided — even though neither Dezahd nor her husband is Chinese. So when her daughter and son turned 18 months old, she enrolled them in LePort Montessori's Mandarin immersion program in Irvine. |
