Dear Math 8CP Parents,

The Math 8CP teachers would like to offer a MATH SUCCESS WORKSHOP for all of the Math 8CP students. The purpose of this meeting is to give students and parents the information they need to maximize student learning and success. To be most beneficial students should attend this valuable workshop with a parent. A variety of study tips and avenues for additional help will be presented along with information regarding the course.

Below are listed the two scheduled days and times. You have the choice of either Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2001 at 4:30 p.m., or Monday, Nov. 26, 2001 at 4:30 p.m. Please check one of the choices given below. The meetings will be held in room 2 (just inside the main gate to your right). Due to limited seating we will take the first 50 people who sign up for a session. If there are more than 100 people interested we will schedule additional meetings. You will be notified if your session is full. The talk will run about 45 minutes in length and then we will be available for questions for another 20 minutes.

Sincerely,

Teresa Coffman, Andra Munoz, David Matras
8th Grade Math Teachers

2 Students Win Awards for Traffic Safety Art

Two Ventura County students have won awards in the Automobile Club of Southern California's School Traffic Safety Poster and Communications Contest.

Joshua James White, a seventh-grader at Colina Middle School in Thousand Oaks, won a second-place award for his poster illustating the traffic safety theme, "Alcohol, Drugs & Driving Don't Mix." His teacher is Tyler Clark.

Linda Tran,, a sixth-grader at Los Primeros Structured School in Camarillo, won a third-place award for her poster illustrating the traffic safety theme, "When A Bus is There, Beware." Her teacher is Ellen Park.

The pair were among 24 first-, second- and third-place winners in the Southern California contest. Schools submitted 3,700 entries in elementary, middle and high school categories. Both Joshua and Linda received art supplies as prizes.

Submissions were judged on originality, art expression, visual impact and interpretation of the traffic safety theme.
