Welcome Rosemarie Dias, one of our new program coordinators who will job share with Candy Bandong this summer! Rosemarie has been involved with computer training and student tech support at Graham Middle School in Mountain View. Our MOUSE Squad program is going strong, and this summer we hope to be able to prepare the teachers for an exciting curriculum with the new student and faculty training guides from MOUSE Squad New York. On June 14th, we had a mini-training with 3 MOUSE Squad certified trainors at the former Fair Oaks Elementary School in Sacramento. Two teachers from Del Campo High School and two teachers from the Monterey Schools attended the all day training.
On board our MOUSE Squad of California growing staff this summer are Marci Barton, our graduate student intern from San Jose State University, specializing in standardization of written website information and Katie Cornejo, our new interim Volunteer Coordinator. We say happy trails to Edith Barr, our wonderful former volunteer coordinator who will work for RAFT (Resource Area for Teachers).
On June 28th, Mouse Squad student Daniel Brusilovsky thanked the Lions Clubs of San Mateo and Foster City for sponsoring Aragon High School students and providing the event sponsorship monies to pay for the musical talent that was featured during the MOUSE Squad Summit at the Computer History Museum last June 1st. Jan Half and Candy Bandong presented a certificate of appreciation to both clubs for their support last year.
We have new sites doing MOUSE Squad this summer, students at Monterey County Alternative Education at Rancho Cielo and summer students at Del Campo High School will be taking the course.
