Celebrating Our History, Reflecting and Looking Ahead September 2012 Newsletter Celebrating Our History, Reflecting and Looking Ahead Welcome to the 125th year at Head-Royce School! What a profoundly humbling and inspiring moment for us all to consider. For one and a quarter centuries, Head-Royce School has been successfully dedicated to the important work of educating children, creating community and transforming lives. I would imagine that my night before the first day of school was like that of many of our students. I couldn’t sleep as I anxiously thought about the next day. After a fitful evening, I awoke to a sublimely perfect East Bay morning: sun infused fog, 55 degrees, and warm breezes coming up the hill from the Bay foretelling the warmth that would envelop us on the first day of school. That first morning, in what is now one of my favorite new school traditions, we welcomed our bustling, smiling, eager students on Lincoln Avenue with balloons and gifts as they were dropped off. In the midst of the high-fives, handshakes, and hugs my thoughts kept coming back to four sentiments: community, tradition, hope and promise. Fourth graders Jessica Furstein and Erin Epstein celebrate a new school year. I was struck by the fact that this opening day, our 125th opening day, was magical because of the diverse, engaged, intelligent and fun community of teachers and learners who have come together. edition of Nods and Becks, the school yearbook. I was impressed I knew that our founder, Anna Head, would be beaming with with the quality of their writing, the earnestness of their voice, and pride at how the school has evolved from her vision. Anna Head’s their ability to speak with timeless relevance to this generation of philosophy of education had several key tenets but the core Head-Royce students.

I am eager to enjoy both with you. equal importance, is our goal to teach today’s students about our school’s rich history and those who have come before them. To that end, on September 4th we conducted our first Convo- cation ceremony. Students, faculty and staff came together to reflect on tradition and the year ahead. In my remarks, I shared the Yours sincerely, brilliantly written introduction by the student editors of the 1930 Rob Summer in Ecuador By Kenny Ewbank, Middle School Faculty “Bienvenidos a Pucara, una comunidad solidaria.” Welcome to Pucara, a community of solidarity. So reads the sign along the road that now greets visitors to the rural community of about 170 people in the Intag Mountain region of Ecuador. Along with English teacher and traveling enthusiast Vylinh Nguyen, Berkeley carpenter and Ecuador project initiator Ruel Bernard, and myself, 14 HRS students from grades 7, 8 and 9 embarked upon an amazing service learning adventure in August. At the heart of our trip were six days spent working alongside local villagers in the daily “mingas” in Pucara. Minga is a Spanish translation of a Quechuan word that roughly translates to “community work.” In Pucara, each family in the village sends one representative to join the work party each day. Workers ranged in age from about 11 to 68 years old. During our time in Head-Royce students pose with some of their host friends in Ecuador the village, we worked on many different projects. We helped construct a concrete walkway to the community center; built shelves for the kitchen; stained wood doors and siding through- out the village; painted murals; constructed benches for the school and a billboard frame; and laid the foundation for a new recycling center. All of these community projects were funded by money raised by Head-Royce students prior to the trip, who had sold various fair trade goods from all over the world. The work was physically demanding, but our spirits were always high, thanks to the warmth and kindness of the people of Pucara. Our students certainly know what hard work looks like in the form of research papers and challenging assessments, but few of them have experienced the hard work of manual labor in the equatorial sun. Gathering 10,000 pounds of rocks from the river on our first day in town for our various projects had a few students wondering exactly what they had gotten themselves into. Though the work was physically demanding, our spirits were always high, thanks to the warmth and kindness of the people of Eighth grader Max Schmitz with his friend, Pucara. After all, it’s hard to complain when the 68-year-old Carlitos woman next to you mixing concrete never does. We did our best to use our varying levels of Spanish knowledge to make new friends as we worked, and the language barrier proved no hindrance to much shared laughter and smiles. After our mornings spent working, we relaxed in the after- noons by playing soccer or just horsing around with the local children. Truly, we felt very much a part of this community whose lives, as the students pointed out, couldn’t be more different than ours here in Oakland. The lack of TV, cell phones, Internet and hot showers were definitely noted, but was more than made up for by the friendships we made and the bonding experiences we shared. We had some great tourist adventures as well: swimming in natural hot springs, hiking in the crater of a volcano, shopping in the largest artisan market in the world, and visiting the historic center of Quito. However, what I know will endure long after the memories of these adventures is the feeling of solidarity we all have with this amazing community. We’ve learned that a simple roadside message holds much more meaning when you’ve helped Students help construct a concrete walkway for the community center to build the structure that holds it up.

  • Receive an Update on the Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program
    Memorandum 8.2 DATE: September 15, 2016 SUBJECT: Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program Update RECOMMENDATION: Receive an update on the Affordable Student Transit Pass Pilot Program. Summary The 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) includes implementation of an affordable student transit pass pilot program in Alameda County. Its purpose is to test and evaluate different pilot program designs of an affordable transit pass program over a three-year horizon to identify successful model programs that could be expanded and sustained with additional funding sources after the pilot program period. In May 2016, the Commission approved the school sites for Year One of the program (2016-2017 school year), general program parameters for each site, and the shortlist of 36 schools which is the potential pool for additional school sites in year 2 of the pilot program if feasible and if funding is available. During summer 2016, the program parameters were refined in close coordination with each school site to support an effective pilot approach to meet the program goals, and staff entered into agreements and contracts with the applicable transit agencies and school districts. Pilot programs were launched at the school sites in Alameda County that are receiving transit passes. Background The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) has undertaken the development, implementation, and evaluation of an Affordable Student Transit Pass Program (Affordable STPP) which it is piloting in middle schools and high schools in the four Alameda County planning areas starting this 2016-2017 school year. This pilot program provides a vital opportunity to assess student transportation needs in the county and develop an approach to meet those needs through implementation of a pass program.

  • Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha the Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear Reader
    Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha The Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear reader, It is with great pride that I present to you this compilation of CA-A’s projects for the 2011-2012 school year. Through the combined efforts of our dedicated officer corps and membership, our impressive class of new initiates, and our faithful alumni, we were able to accomplish truly spectacular things this past year. We held a record-breaking 46 fun/social events and 31 company infosessions, most of which were open to other engineering students, along with numerous professional development events and service activities. But what truly exemplifies the success of the chapter over the past year is the fruitful cultivation of our new, amazing projects. Taking the call of noblesse oblige to heart, the theme of our past year was outreach, both to the College of Engineering and to the surrounding Bay area. CA-A made it our mission to provide opportunities for engineering students and Bay area community members. In the Fall, CA-A unveiled for the first time its College Bound event, an all-day event with the goal of promoting post-secondary STEM education to underrepresented groups. Nearly 200 high school students travelled to the Berkeley campus to hear about student research projects and participate in fun hands-on engineering modules. Then again in the Spring, CA-A rolled out its Engineering Open House, a more focused event to give high school students interested in engineering majors an insider’s look at the life of an engineering student at Berkeley.
