News from Across the Rowland Unified School District (10/26/22)

KNBC-TV Channel 4 Education Reporter (and Berkeley Alumni!) Kim Baldonado (top middle) will feature a story later today at 4:45 PM and 5:55 PM on RUSD's College Connect program that just won a California Golden Bell award for its focus on equity and access.

Pictured Top: College Connect co-creators Miriam Kim (top left) and Ricardo Ramirez (top right), along with Nogales High School alumni and current Cal State Fullerton student Vivian Aguirre, and College Connect Nogales High School Students Adan Moreno and Pedro Nevarez. 

College Connect was formed to make access to a four year university a reality for at-risk students. Nearly 75% of Rowland Unified students qualify for free or reduced lunch along with one in four being identified as English Language Learners. 

TONIGHT AND THIS WEEKEND: The NHS Drama Company presents, Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, a mystifying, magical journey into the untold story of the Hufflepuffs- a band of really, really nice kids whose story is never told in the Harry Potter novels. Join us as we embark on a journey that will make audiences laugh, cry, and cheer for our heroes as they battle evil forces at their magical school.

THE SHOW OPENS TONIGHT! Dates are 11/3, 11/4, and 11/5 at 6:30 PM.

"Due to the comedic and improvisational nature of the show, every performance is different so join us on multiple nights," shares Sarah Corp, Drama Teacher.

Tickets are $10 at the door and $11 via GoFan
