The Corning Exchange Club was pleased to recog- nize three outstanding stu- dents of the month in Sep- tember — Ethan Munoz, Alejandro Espinoza and El- sie Woods. President Elect Dean Cofer presented each student with a certificate recognizing their achieve- ments, a free meal voucher from the Iron Skillet, and an Exchange Club pen and pencil set. Cofer also reminded Mu- noz, a Corning High School senior, that he is now auto- matically one of nine stu- dents of the month annu- ally who are eligible to win the Exchange Club schol- arship. Likewise students of the month from Centen- nial High are placed into a nine student pool. Espinoza, a Maywood 8th-grader, was introduced by his teacher, Mrs. Farmer, who praised him both as a student and class leader. He is active in band and the book club at school, and en- joys reading, drawing and imagining. His future plans include becoming an elec- trician, eventually raising a family of four and owning a small store. Corning High teacher Christine Lee introduced Munoz and lauded him as a terrific student, class leader and role model for other students. He is active in the California Scholar- ship Federation, Cardin- vore Club, school newspa- per and tennis. His hobbies include movie critic, col- lecting Legos and honing his computer skills. After high school graduation he plans to attend UC Los An- geles to major in film with the expectation of becom- ing a film director. Woods was unable to at- tend the presentation and her certificate will be deliv- ered to her.

JACKSON HEIGHTS RUNNING FOR FUNDS Jason Roberts, a fresh- man of Biola University and resident of Red Bluff, was among 48 students who received the college's highest scholarship — the Trustee's scholarship — for the 2014-2015 aca- demic year.

About 5 per- cent of this year's incom- ing class received this award. Students are considered for this scholarship based on a calculation of both their GPA and SAT/ACT test scores. The scholarship recipi- ents were honored with a special dessert reception hosted by President Co- rey, where they were cel- ebrated for their achieve- ments. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.4 to continue receiving this scholarship the following year.

COURTESY PHOTO The Tehama County Arts Council has made it possible for Reeds Creek Elementary 7th and 8th grade students to par- ticipate in The Beautiful Project through a grant made possible by funding received from the Cali- fornia Arts Council Arts Plate Program. The Beautiful Project used photography and re- flective workshops to em- power youth to confront and investigate what it means to be beautiful. The mission was to posi- tively impact the identity development of youth. One student, Sylvia Montgomery, wrote in the conclusion of her es- say, "I believe that Beau- tiful qualities are those that one can proudly and openly posses. Beauti- ful qualities are the ones we care for and the ones that please us as individ- uals and no one else, these qualities are beautiful be- cause they are appreci- ated by their owner, they are not taken for granted and express the per- son completely. I believe beauty is not the ability to please yourself or oth- ers but the ability to exist as an object or individual of strength and honesty." The school thanks the Arts Council for helping to provide this program to students. ARTS GRANT Reeds Creek takes on The Beautiful Project By Colleen Slevin The Associated Press GOLDEN, COLO. A subur- ban Denver school board approved a plan Thurs- day to review the curric- ulum in some U.S. history classes, with some changes from the original proposal that sought to promote patriotism and downplay civil disobedience. Hundreds of students, teachers and parents who have been protesting the proposal for weeks filled the evening school board meeting and watched live video on a screen set up outside. The board voted 3-2 to approve a review commit- tee that will include stu- dents, parents and admin- istrators. Students across a ma- jority of the 17 high schools in Colorado's second-larg- est school district have left classes in droves over the past few weeks. The protests began more than a week ago, af- ter the Jefferson County school board proposed creating a committee to review texts and course plans, starting with Ad- vanced Placement his- tory, to make sure mate- rials "promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for author- ity and respect for individ- ual rights" and don't "en- courage or condone civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law."
