State Senator Anthony Cannella (R-Ceres) presented awards to more than 100 students at Bolsa Knolls Middle School who participated in Red Ribbon Week on Nov. 2.
Red Ribbon Week recognizes the efforts of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, who was murdered in the line of duty. Every October, schools around the country encourage young people to lead a drug-free life.
That's a message we all know should be repeated loud and often, so good for the Bolsa Knolls students!

Monterey Peninsula College gets funds renewed for minority outreach
Monterey Peninsula College will receive up to $1.85 million over the course of five years to continue the TRiO Math/Science Upward Bound Program, which seeks to encourage low-income and first-generation high school students to pursue math and science majors in college and eventually careers in the field.
The program, a six week academy, simulates college by having students from all over the United States live at the University of California, Santa Cruz and study marine biology through classes in marine biology, mathematics, communications, foreign language, and computer skills. Students also attend a personal development class to increase their understanding of themselves, others and the college experience.
The program has been in place at MPC since 1990.

Monterey Peninsula College rolls Day of the Dead, College Day and Election Night into one giant party
They say it's better late than never, and MPC will host its Day of the Dead activities about a week after the actual celebration takes place. Good thing difuntitos don't care about that stuff.
But that's not all. The same day, the college will host an Election Night Party, and a Career and Transfer day. They'll be busy on Nov. 6, for sure.
The Dia de los Muertos festivities will take place from 11 a.m. till 1 p.m, and will include food, music, dancers, inflatable games and rides for students, faculty and the entire community. At the same time, the Career and Transfer Resource Center will be hosting over 50 national and area Colleges and Universities for Transfer Day, which happens once a year from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Services patio area.
Capping off the day, the Associated Students of Monterey Peninsula College will be hosting its 2012 Election Night Party. Food, refreshments, inflatable games and rides will be provided, as national and local election results come in from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the MPC Library’s Sam Karas Room and Caroline Page Garden.
Sounds like fun. I can't wait to see the pictures.
