At John Malcom Elementary in Laguna Niguel every day is Earth Day |
|
For the second year, students, parents and staff at John Malcom Elementary School in Laguna Niguel celebrated all things green during an Earth Day Celebration near the school’s garden, on Wednesday, April 18. Representatives from Whole Foods, CC&R Environmental Services and Dana Point Headlands manned booths at which students could plant pollinator garden seeds in egg crates, take a quiz on recycling or play a spin-and-win game about animals. |

Artist of the Year: And the winners are … |
|
Did you ever wonder how young Matthew Morrison became one of “Glee’s” breakout stars? Or how Susan Egan went from a Seal Beach teen with dreams of glory to a Tony-nominated Broadway headliner at 24? Or how Eric Marienthal became a world-class sax player right out of college?
In each case, the path to artistic greatness started in an Orange County high school.
The Artist of the Year program, now in its fifth year, strives to honor these students. |

6 questions — and answers — about the California Healthy Youth Act |
|
We’re coming up on three years since the California Healthy Youth Act was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown. This legislation, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2016, requires school districts throughout the state to provide students with comprehensive sexual health education — including information about HIV prevention — at least once in high school and once in middle school. The state law also allows districts to offer age-appropriate sexual health education in earlier grades if they choose to do so. But parents can opt out of sex education, and local districts get to determine their own state-approved curriculum. |
