Bill Dolezal, principal of STMS said, “We are honored to receive these awards, but the true reward is watching our students gain confidence and proficiency in speaking a second language – a skill that will serve them for a lifetime!” Sophia Barnedo, Matthew Herbert and Emily Young from STMS received 2 “Outstanding” recognition for their video “五十个“是”. This 8th grade video is about an arrogant boy who disrespects his teacher, and gets assigned extra homework. Being rebellious, he decides to ignore it for the rest of the day but is haunted by his bad decisions. Cactus Shadows Students Abigail Nosan, Holly Beck and Sienna Kloss received “Outstanding” recognition for their video “Our Chinese Academics & Extra Curriculum”. Students created avatars to represent themselves and have an “animated” discussion about their likes and dislikes at school. The six students were chosen from over 80 entries in the 7-12 grade competition for being Novice Learners of Mandarin. Dr. Steve Bebee, principal of CSHS said, “Our students continue to amaze me with their abilities and talents when it comes to language acquisition. We congratulate our students and their accomplishments and for winning his award.” The ASU Confucius Institute hosts the Student Video Competition to encourage students to use Chinese to express their Chinese-learning journeys and love for learning Chinese through producing a video in Chinese. Students in grade 7-12 enrolled in a Chinese language class in Arizona schools were encouraged to participate in this contest. ASU’s Video Academy Award Ceremony was held on February 3, 2018.

Christine Marsh, CSHS English teacher and Arizona’s 2016 Teacher of the Year said, “The topic this year, “What is the importance of civility in civic discourse,” was so poignant, and it challenged the students to think about civic discourse in their own lives and in the broader society. Many of the essays from Cactus Shadows students were powerful, but four winning essays were especially insightful and creative. Most adults could learn something from our bright young students.” All students will be recognized at a special event at the Arizona State Capitol on February 14. First place winners will receive a $50 gift certificate and will have the opportunity to read their winning submission out loud at the event. Second place 3 winners will receive a $25 gift certificate; and third place winners will receive a $15 gift certificate. AEF’s website states: The Polly Rosenbaum Writing Contest is named for Polly Rosenbaum, a former House Representative in the Arizona State Legislature and teacher, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 104. This writing contest is a long- standing tradition honoring Mrs. Rosenbaum, who believed Arizona’s young people are the state’s greatest resource.

  • ROSE MOFFORD Honored As a Historymaker 1999
    Arizona HistorymakersJ Oral History Transcript Historical League, Inc. 8 2018 ROSE MOFFORD 1922 - 2016 Honored as a Historymaker 1999 Arizona’s First Woman Governor The following is an oral history interview with Rose Mofford (RM) conducted by Reba Wells Grandrud (RG) for Historical League, Inc. on June 5, 1998, in the home of Pat Mason, chairman of the 1999 Historymakers Gala 5, Phoenix, Arizona. Transcripts for website edited by members of Historical League, Inc. Original tapes are in the collection of the Arizona Heritage Center Archives, an Historical Society Museum, Tempe, Arizona. RG: Governor Mofford has been named a 1999 Historymaker by the Historical League of the Central Arizona Division of Arizona Historical Society. Governor Mofford, as you know, the Central Arizona Division of the Historical Society has a great collection of oral history tapes, transcripts, and memorabilia that was gathered when we were celebrating the United States bicentennial. And at that time, CAD, or Central Arizona Division, was the Phoenix Historical Society. It was housed in the Shackelford House at 1 242 North Central. In 1 976, February, you were interviewed by Karin Ullmann. And, of course, the focus at that time was on the Phoenix area and, mostly, your long time service with Arizona state government. I'd like to supplement that interview with some of your thoughts on what has happened in the 20 years since that interview. But, first, could we start with some background on you as a native of Arizona. Now, we all know that you were born in Globe, county seat of Gila County, but maybe you could tell us your name, birth date, something about your parents, what brought them to Arizona, that kind of thing.

  • 100 Years of Public Service a Message from Our Secretary of State
    100 Years of Public Service A Message From Our Secretary of State For more than one hundred years, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records has dedicated itself to preserving our state’s rich history and providing continued public access to the historical documents that tell the story of our magnificent state. On March 24, 2015 we celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the official creation of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records as an institution of the state. Few cultural institutions have the type of impact community libraries have on our society. With more than twenty-five million visits to more than two hundred libraries in Arizona each year, libraries are a critical thread in the fabric that forms our communities. Libraries make information and entertainment available to the masses whether it be the printed word or online access still unavailable to many in our state. Today, libraries are growing services to serve as job hubs for those seeking employment and as technology centers making advancements such as 3D printers accessible to everyone. In an era of unpreceded technological advancement, the State Library, Archives and Public Records division’s mission is more important than ever before. If we are to understand the present to plan for the future, we must have access to the past. Please enjoy this wonderful publication commemorating our one hundred years of public service! Michele Reagan, Secretary of State A Message From Our Secretary of State 100 Years of Public Service Published by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a Division of the Secretary of State, to commemorate the establishment of the State Library at the Arizona State Capitol by the Legislature in March 1915.
