Student Art Calendar artwork

This week, 14 students were honored at a meeting of the Tulare County Board of Supervisors for having their artwork chosen for the annual Tulare County Farm Bureau Student Art Calendar. The presentation ceremony coincides with the celebration of National Ag Week each year. This year’s calendar, “Celebrating Tulare County: #1 in Agriculture,” reflects the county’s status as the largest ag producer in the nation.

Members of the Tulare County Farm Bureau’s education committee, Jenn Sousa and Desi Molyneux, were on hand to introduce the winners to the supervisors. Molyneux reported to the board that this year the Farm Bureau received over 1,400 works of art for its annual competition – a competition which began as a bumper sticker contest in 1997 before expanding to a calendar.

Profiles in Character
Pleasant View ES

The Pleasant View (PV) Elementary School student leadership team is responsible for the school’s monthly CHARACTER COUNTS! (CC!) Store, CC! Pillar Raffle, communicating and running any activities for CC! Week, and doing skits and interviews for CC! assemblies held at the end of each month. Throughout the month, students can earn CC! tickets for displaying the Pillars of Character and receive tickets from teachers and support staff. At the end of the month, students visit the CC! Store and purchase a variety of fun, useful, and exciting items with their tickets.

Pleasant View teacher Tashima Irving said PV implements a “Culture of Pillar Character,” meaning students need to participate in and outside of the classroom in activities and tasks that promote positive character. She said, “We at PV have made it a priority to implement monthly activities for each pillar in the classroom. We allow students to earn CC! tickets for showing the character they are learning and hearing about, and reward students with awards and Pillar Packs (filled with goodies) for those that stand out amongst the rest."
