A four-week summer program for migrant students will be honored this weekend with a Golden Bell Award for collaborative effort.
The Junior Otters program, which brings migrant students from the 4th to 8th grade to Cal State Monterey Bay for intense math and English courses, has been recognized by the California School Board Association with its Golden Bell Award. The program is a collaboration of Monterey County's Migrant Education Region XVI, CSUMB, and El Teatro Campesino, and California Mini-Corps.
The children look forward to their summer adventure because they love the arts component. The Herald has featured the program in the past.
“It is an honor to receive the highly respected Golden Bell award for our outstanding program. Through a strong partnership with CSUMB and El Teatro Campesino we are able to reach out to our migrant student population, providing English language arts and math outside the academic school year,” said Rosa E. Coronado, Director II, Migrant Education Program Region XVI, Monterey County Office of Education.
A delegation of Monterey County officials will travel to San Diego this Saturday to receive the award.
