Los Paseos Elementary School News
Los Paseos Elementary School students planted 21 new shade trees on the campus last week. The trees were donated by Our City Forest, a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating an "urban forest" in the city of San Jose. Our City Forest also provided expert guidance in how to properly plant, stake and care for the trees.
Live Oak High Alumni Gather
Graduates from 1938 through 1945 filled the Golden Oak restaurant as they gathered for one big reunion this summer. Ninety graduates from the eight classes attended the celebration. Morgan Hill resident Margaret Johnston, Class of 1943, said the reunion was particularly special because a former teacher and school counselor, Phyllis Thomas, was present.
Chamber Welcomes New MH Teachers
Chamber of Commerce members welcomed new Morgan Hill teachers in August with "goodie bags" created with items donated by members. This is the second year the Chamber's Education Council has prepared the bags to reach out to educators in the community and thank them for their contributions in the classroom. Approximately 80 bags have been distributed to newly-hired teachers in the Morgan Hill Unified School District, at Gavilan College – both the main branch and the Morgan Hill branch – and several private schools. The Chamber is still attempting to contact other private schools and education-related businesses in the area to distribute the remaining bags.
