Trustees and Superintendent Cheryl Jordan recognized Russell Middle School students Jeff Nguyen, Jasmin Le, Paula Sipin, Vanessa Sun, Viveca Tang, Jacky Thai, Shania Bognot, Elvis Nguyen, Syndey Hoang, and Grace Chung from Milpitas High School.
The group began a community service project in collaboration with Michael Mooney, Director of the San Jose Community College Milpitas Extension. They created a mural, titled "Escuela Parkway Pathway to the Future", which represents a connection between the Escuela Parkway schools - Pomeroy Elementary, Russell Middle, Milpitas High School, and SJCC Milpitas Extension - painting a lavender ribbon that signifies a bright future along each step ahead.
