 “China gate” holders Chris McDonald, left, and Waylon Singletary, right, usher in students (front row from left) Claire Smith, Haley Hanover, Josie Carlson and Mason Mitchellm and (back row from left), Mitchel Larson, David Montez and Layne Bohannon. Submitted Students covered the long distance during their elective and PE classes averaging six laps around the school track per student per session—a distance of 1.5 miles each time. To help keep campus litter from blowing into the ocean, students sometimes traded litter picked up on school grounds as their ticket off the track. The project began in September, shortly after the school year began, and ended Dec. 16. The students, taught by Rick Finley, Caralee Hoffmann, Pilar McEnulty and Helen O’Connor, celebrated the project completion with a ceremonial passing through the Dragon Gate back into China. Next the students made dragons for Chinese New Year’s and consumed an ample and delicious Chinese banquet provided by Wing Wah’s Restaurant. A great time was had by all! |
