He added that SMMUSD has taken additional steps to raise the bar of sustainability, and schools across the state and nation are now looking at SMMUSD’s resolution with very high regard. He thanked Ms. Hyatt for being a green champion at SMMUSD. Ms. Hyatt said this has been a team effort.

Mr. Mechur remarked that Ms. Hyatt was the glue that has held all this together. He added that it was important to understand that sustainability is the future for our district and way of life. Mr. de la Torre thanked everyone for all their work on a lifestyle change that takes the environment into consideration. He then used the example of the SAMOHI Solar Alliance to remind the students in the audience of the impact that student input can have – they do have a voice and they can help make change. 6:02 pm • Santa Monica High School (10) Principal Dr. Pedroza thanked the board for the opportunity to report out the great things going on at SAMOHI. He said that most of the presentation would highlight individual SAMOHI stories. He introduced Michael Garceo, a senior, who said his journey to becoming a senior has been difficult.

When a good friend of his, Eddie Lopez, passed away in 2006, Mr. Garceo realized that he needed to change his life and be successful.

Mr. Garceo said he will now be applying to attend college. Larry Boone, the M House Principal, said he has been with SAMOHI for nine months now. He was first attracted to SAMOHI because of the house system, which has allowed him to enjoy coming to work every day. He asserted that the most important part of the house experience is building relationships among administrators, teachers, and students. He likes being able to support students who are doing well, as well as those who are struggling, which is usually not possible at a large school. The Instructional Planning Committee (IPC) is currently working on tackling the achievement gap at SAMOHI by looking at what works at other schools. Senior Jennifer Chu reported that she is part of A house leadership, involved in academics and athletics, has taken ten AP classes, and participates in the music program. It is because of the orchestra program that she flew in a plane for the first time and travelled to Europe last year. She was just named a Regent Scholar by UC Berkeley, an award given to the top 20% of Berkeley applicants. She also just found out that she has been accepted by UCLA. Ms. Chu attributes her success to SAMOHI’s dedicated staff and teachers. Dr. Pedroza said SAMOHI couldn’t be as great a HS as it is without its parent community. He introduced and thanked PTA President Elizabeth Stearns. Ms. Stearns reported that the mission of the PTA is not fundraising, but rather the Board of Education Meeting MINUTES: March 19, 2009 ii welfare of all its children. The focus is ensuring success for 3,000 students by providing a strong structure, administration, teaching staff, counselors, librarians; etc. Students in the audience then did the SAMOHI cheer. Mr. Mechur thanked the SAMOHI crew for coming tonight. Ms. Black added that SAMOHI is great school, and that every person on campus helped pave her way to college and succeeding in life. She thanked her fellow ASB members for coming tonight. Mr. Allen said he was proud to be a graduate of SAMOHI. He added that SAMOHI is as a public school with great education, an incredible music program, and many clubs.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Skateboarding Is Not a Crime, a 24-Film Tribute to the Best of Skateboarding in Cinema, Sep 6—23
    BAMcinématek presents Skateboarding is Not a Crime, a 24-film tribute to the best of skateboarding in cinema, Sep 6—23 Opens with George Gage’s 1978 Skateboard with the director in person The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 16, 2013—From Friday, September 6 through Thursday, September 12, BAMcinématek presents Skateboarding is Not a Crime, a 24-film tribute to the best of skateboarding in cinema, from the 1960s to the present. The ultimate in counterculture coolness, skateboarding has made an irresistibly sexy subject for movies thanks to its rebel-athlete superstars, SoCal slacker fashion, and jaw-dropping jumps, ollies, tricks, and stunts. Opening the series on Friday, September 6 is George Gage’s Skateboard (1978), following a lumpish loser who comes up with an ill-advised scheme to manage an all-teen skateboarding team in order to settle his debts with his bookie. An awesomely retro ride through 70s skateboarding culture, Skateboard was written and produced by Miami Vice producer Dick Wolf and stars teen idol Leif Garrett (Alfred Hitchcock’s daughter plays his mom!) and Z-Boys great Tony Alva. Gage will appear in person for a Q&A following the screening. Two of the earliest films in the series showcase the upright technique that dominated in the 60s. Skaterdater (1965—Sep 23), Noel Black’s freewheelingly shot, dialogue-free puppy-love story (made with pre-adolescent members of Torrance, California’s Imperial Skateboard Club) is widely considered to be the first skateboard movie. Claude Jutra’s cinéma vérité lark The Devil’s Toy (1966—Sep 23), is narrated in faux-alarmist fashion, with kids whipping down the hills of Montreal, only to have their decks confiscated by the cops.

  • Writer/Director) the Unhinged Joy and Bitter Angst of Modern Adolescence Are Confronted with Honesty, Clarity, and Passion in Thirteen (2003)
    saturday, april 24, 2021 / 2:00 PM with Catherine Hardwicke (Writer/Director) The unhinged joy and bitter angst of modern adolescence are confronted with honesty, clarity, and passion in Thirteen (2003). The story follows Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) as she grows from a pig-tailed child, still playing with teddy bears and Barbie dolls, into a young woman navigating the hyper-sexualized pressure cooker of junior high. Here, she witnesses the power and hipness of Evie Zamora (Nikki Reed, co-writer of the script), widely known as “the hottest chick in school.” Ultra-popular, gorgeous, and bewitchingly snobby, Evie represents everything Tracy suddenly wants to be. Writer/Director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Lords of Dogtown) will join Pollock Theater Director Matt Ryan for a discussion. This event will not include a screening. Thirteen may be streamed in advance on Amazon Prime and Youtube. This event is sponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center, and the Department of Film & Media Studies. Writer/Director Catherine Hardwicke Catherine Hardwicke’s first film as a director was the critically-acclaimed Thirteen, which won numerous awards including the Director’s Award at Sundance, Golden Globe nominations for Holly Hunter and Evan Rachel Wood, and an Academy Award nomination for Holly Hunter. Hardwicke has since then become best known as the director of Twilight, which launched the blockbuster franchise and earned nearly $400 million at the global box office. Hardwicke’s other credits include Lords of Dogtown, Miss You Already, Red Riding Hood, and Miss Bala. For television, she has directed episodes of This Is Us, Eye Witness, Low Winter Sun, and Hell on Wheels.
