RESEDA SCHOOL WINS TECHNOLOGY AWARD Los Angeles Unified School District Board Member Tamar Galatzan announced the nine winners of her Technology Pilot Contest, each of whom will receive up to $35,000 of technol‐ogy equipment.

“As we go out and talk to teachers, principals and students, what we hear over and over again is a need for technology,” said Tamar. “That’s why we decided, as other projects came in under budget, to dedicate those funds to getting technology out to creative teachers with innovative projects that can be piloted right here in the Valley."

Outside judges with an expertise in technology, education and innovation selected the win‐ners, which included three elementary schools, three middle schools and three high schools.

Applications were judged on the core idea, whether the technology was integrated into the curriculum, whether there is a technology team on the ground at the school that can support the endeavor, and whether those who implemented the pilot would be willing to re‐cord their experiences, host other teachers, and share best practices.

Winners will be honored at a gathering with Tamar, and their projects will be tracked and monitored so they may serve as innovation hubs, and their successes can be shared with other schools.

The contest was open to any LAUSD or affili‐ated charter school in Board District 3, which has about 135 schools and includes most of the San Fernando Valley.

Forty five schools submitted 75 applications.

The goal of the competition was to spread scarce funds to teachers and schools with a

clear, creative vision on how to weave technol‐ogy into the academic curriculum.

Teacher Richard Feldman from Miller Career and Transition Center in Reseda, where dis‐abled students will receive desktop computers and iPads to learn skills that will prepare them for the workplace.

Miller Career and Transition Center: Special education students ages 15‐22 with moderate to severe disabilities will use desktop com‐puters and iPads to prepare for transition to employment. Computers will be used to teach a new class called Foundations of Computer Literacy and Graphic Arts, which will teach them basic computer skills and graphic design to prepare them for the workplace.

RESEDA POOL OPENING For the past year, the Reseda Recreation Cen‐ter has been renovating our public pool. The renovation involves the replacement of the existing pool and the pump house, the irriga‐tion system. The renovation has added a deco‐rative pool deck, perimeter fencing landscape, functional art and an irrigation system.

Five to seven years ago the city of LA proposed a proposition with both city funds and private funds. The decision was made to renovate the pool in hopes of making it more welcoming and useful to the public. The pool is now 9,000 sq. ft. and the pump house is 500 sq. ft.

The city has made the pool more eye‐catching by adding numerous functional art pieces, also known as shade structures. The shade struc‐tures are long towering metal polls with artful design like tropical trees imbedded in. The sun reflects the shape imbedded in the metal de‐sign and projects the design over the people to cause shade. These gorgeous art pieces attract the eyes of many on‐going people, inviting them to enter the pool area. The renovated pool sends off a fun welcoming vibe to many people. It’s now a fun place for people of all

pages to spend some leisure time during the summer. The city wanted to make the pool bigger and better in order to attract more peo‐ple. They aim to create a place of honor and celebration worthy of the neighborhood. The pool will have numerous aquatic programs such as, swimming lessons, competitive swim‐ming and lifeguard training. After years of plan‐ning and renovating the new gorgeous pool will finally open this summer.

FORMER RESEDA RESIDENT MAR‐RIES STATE SENATOR On April 27th Angela Monzon (formerly of Reseda) and State Senator Alex Padilla were married at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Senator Padilla represents California District 20.

for non‐traditional health care services such as: Herbalists, Masseuses, and Spiritual Healers and utility bills.
