Students Succeeding!
The Buena Park Student Advisory Council, responsible for shaping and promoting wellness services on the BPHS campus over the past year, was invited to share their experiences and advice at the OC/LA Wellness Conference this year. In front of a packed room full of educators and wellness specialists from around the County, these incredible students displayed honesty and courage as they shared lessons learned, successes, and failures along their journey as advisory members. Congratulations to their advisor, BPHS Mental Health Specialist Jesse Nova for engaging them in this endeavor and in their words, "inspiring them to take action for themselves and their classmates."

Congratulations to this month's Student Standout from Sonora High School, Ms. Camila Padilla! We are delighted that Camila was recognized as the Rotary Student of the Month, recognizing her commitment to excellence as a student-athlete. Camila's leadership and skill on the volleyball court, soccer field, and track have been instrumental in her teams' successes, earning her numerous accolades, including Freeway League champion in the triple jump, breaking the school record! Academically, she has maintained a 4.1 GPA, participated in various extracurricular activities, and received a prestigious scholarship from the Angels Baseball Foundation. As Camila prepares to attend California State University, Fullerton and pursue a career in speech pathology, her dedication and exemplary character will undoubtedly continue to inspire and make a difference.
