After budget cuts to the Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD) in 2009, parent Robert Jung decided to create the Milpitas Community Education Endowment (MCEE) in hopes of reinforcing the voices of the community. Having lived in Milpitas for more than 15 years, Jung felt inclined to establish an organization that would allow their community as a whole to freely discuss how to galvanize the academic environment for their children. Without an initial benefactor, their grassroots beginning as a small foundation has steadily expanded in the past 10 years as MCEE continues to create several educational projects that positively engage school faculty, parents, and students. The non-profit MCEE is run by Chief Executive Officer Jung, six board members, and 8 to 10 volunteers, and is exceptionally goal-oriented. Their first objective was to raise $10,000 for the endowment within 10 years. To their joy and surprise, their team managed to raise far more than this, reaching $100,000 and in nine years. The team hopes to annually administer five percent of this milestone towards MUSD. Not only is the team’s next goal to raise $200,000, but to attain this sum within the next five years.

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

The Moreau Catholic Mariners (Hayward) had a great season, advancing to a state championship bracket, but met their match on March 2nd in Division 1 play with the Branson Bulls (Ross, CA).

2/28/19 Pirates outscore Vikings

Baseball

SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

The Irvington Vikings (Fremont) varsity lost a hard-fought game to San Leandro Pirates by a lopsided score of 10-1 on March 1st. Losing little time in the scoring department, the Pirates began their scoring barrage in the first inning and kept adding runs for the next four innings, an- swered by the Vikings in the box score only once in the second inning. Although the score indicated a lopsided contest, both teams fielded good defenses and the Vikings were able to garner hits. However, they couldn’t put them in the proper order to change the scoreboard. Although league play doesn’t begin until later this month, the result is important as it can influence North Coast Section rankings in post-season play.
