Through their Young Men of the Month program, Tustin Kiwanis celebrated high school seniors for their academic success, remarkable character, and influence on campus and within our community. Congratulations to Nyte Teeter (Tustin), Artin Rastegar (Legacy), Leo Maffey (Foothill) and Terry Bang (Beckman), Students were joined by their counselors, principals/APs and family in celebrating their achievements.

In celebration of Constitution Day, students at schools like Loma Vista enjoyed learning more about the Constitution through activities and song. Across the District, our elementary students brought history to life through music as they performed ‘The Preamble’ from Schoolhouse Rock! Such a fun and creative way to connect with the Constitution.

Constitution Day recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution. It is normally observed on September 17, the day delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. Congress designated September 17 as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day on February 29, 1952, by joint resolution. It begins Constitution Week in the United States, which continues through September 23.

At their September meeting, Soroptimist International of Santa Ana-Tustin honored several standout seniors as Young Women of Achievement. These scholars showed determination in the face of challenges, academic excellence and a commitment to their community. Congratulations to Luzelena Lugo (Beckman), Aqsa Hashimi (Foothill), Emily Juarez (Hillview) and Julienne Villareal (Tustin). Counselors and family members joined these remarkable young women in the celebration.
