EL MONTE UNION ENGINEERING PROGRAM DEBUTS WITH AFRICAN WILDCAT VISIT
A
special visit by an African wildcat made the first day of the 2018-19 school year extra special for 50 Mountain View High School students who are members of the school’s inaugural Zoo Crew: Engineers Gone Wild! program, an engineering pathway that focuses on animal protection and preservation. Students packed into the school’s Media Center to hear Wildlife Learning Center representatives explain the characteristics and behaviors of the exotic animal they were about to meet – the serval, a long-legged, long-eared wildcat found mostly in the African Savanna. The serval is the first animal the ninthand 10th-grade students encountered as part of the new Zoo Crew program. “It was really informative and entertaining,” said Judy Ung, a 10th-grader who plans to major in biology or engineering in college. Designed to be a genderneutral career technical education pathway, Zoo Crew was launched this year Mountain View High Schools students listen to a Wildlife Learning Center representative explain the characteristics of the serval. - Courtesy photo
A LIVING MIRACLE IN THE SAN BERNARDINO POLICE DEPARTMENT Miracles do happen. Whenever you need a little inspiration, all you have to do is look to San Bernardino Police Officer Gabe Garcia. Four years ago, he suffered what many thought was a fatal gunshot wound. Officer Garcia fought for his life and never gave up. And with the love, strength and support from his family and community, he is alive today and an integral part of the SBPD family. Officer Gabe Garcia proves faith is real.
