The CAJ Skills Center students did blood pressure, pulse and blood sugar checks. Talks covered important issues like health care rights, keeping food healthy, juvenile obesity, asthma, and effective parenting.

Florin Tech students were joined by students from Pacific and Cesar Chavez morning adult ESL classes. Everyone learned a lot and came away feeling more  confident about keeping healthy.

Flower Garden Blooms!

In the fall, Florin Tech's student council took donations of plants, bulbs, and seeds for an empty garden spot  in the classroom area. Now the flowers are in bloom and students are caring for the garden and planting new plants. On Friday, April 18, Elsie Yun's class planted calla lillies, trimmed flowers, and weeded.

"Super Tuesday", Florin Tech Style

(More photos of "Super Tuesday" are in our photo gallery.

Tuesday could have been called "Super Tuesday" for Florin Tech's M-1 and M-2 students. It began with Mrs. Colmenares, an experienced pinata maker, teaching the students how to make pinatas. First, the students shredded newspaper. Then they coated newspaper with glue made from flour and water. After covering balloons with home  ade glue-coated nwspaper, they added rope handles and then set the pinatas out to dry.

At 9:50, the pinata makers  started walking down  24th Street to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Library. After the librarian explained some of the library's services and materials, as well as her own experience as an immigrant from Taiwan, the students were given their own cards  and told to check out two items.

Tai Chi

We are having Tai Chi every morning, I didn't like it before, it was kind of boring. But since we are making progress I started to enjoy it. My friend Javier says that he is losing some weight.

Following a summer workshop in tai chi, teachers Elsie Yun and Pauline Hui are leading Florin Tech students and teachers in fifteen minutes of tai chi each day. The exercise brings the classes together and gives us a healthy start to each day of class.

Florin Tech Back to School Barbecue

 

Florin Tech, Cesar Chavez and Pacific classes got together on September 18 for a back to school barbecue. Students and staff enjoyed hot dogs, watermelon, chips, country music, and sunshine together to celebrate the new school year which began September 2. Student council members manned the grills and worked together to make the event a success.
