Ready for the weekend Steve?

Coronado Times reader Kris Marvin was surprised by this snake on NAB Gator Beach near the Coronado Shores on Monday evening. She thought it might be a yellow bellied sea snake, and while we don't know snakes, it doesn't look like pictures we could find of that type. No matter what kind, it would've startled us too!


So much goodness happening all over our Coronado community! Here are just a few highlights that you can read more about below:


  • Rikki Betancourt hired as new CHS Assistant Principal
  • Kathleen McCabe named Emerald Keeper of the Month
  • CoSA student artist spotlight: Olivia McKissick
  • Amanda Tarantino hired as Registered Dietitian/Supervisor at CUSD
  • More candidates have announced their bid for City Council & School Board (Q&A interviews have already started to be published)


Countdown to 20 years: The Coronado Times is turning 20 in November and we look forward to reflecting on the last two decades and sharing some breaking news of our own over the next few months. Thank you to our readers all over the world, our amazing staff and our supportive advertisers. Now is a great time to partner with Coronado's most popular publication.
