Celebrating Adult Education Week
DISTRICT NEWS |
“I want to show my kids that it is never too late to start something and that you can do it. This experience has been hard and emotional but if you want something you can get it if you work hard.” Janet is a great example of someone taking full advantage of the great resources that the Corona-Norco Adult Education Program has to offer. It was Adult Education Week, March 23rd -27th. The state-wide theme for 2015 was “Today’s Students, Tomorrow’s Workforce”. The theme aimed to underscore the vital role adult schools play in jobs and the economy. As recognized by the Corona-Norco Board of Education through Resolution No. 65, the purpose of Adult Education Week is to publically demonstrate the value of adult schools to our community and colleagues, while at the same time, celebrate our students and their accomplishments. Corona-Norco Adult School had events planned throughout the week including; a poster creation campaign, Adult Education Matters Newsletter distribution, student recognition, workforce fair, presentation from Corona Public Library, and visits from local business and district personnel. “For Corona-Norco Adult School, the goal for Adult Education Week was to give students opportunities to assess their goals, exposure to potential employers and careers, information about transitioning to college, access to services for family literacy, and an overall celebration of what they are accomplishing. It was a privilege for me personally to organize and be involved with this event and I look forward to next year!,” said Marci England, ESL Program Development. |
