Go Green Tustin

Tustin Memorial Academy receives award:
Tustin Memorial Academy (TMA) recently celebrated receiving the California Service-Learning Leader Schools Award. Tustin Memorial Academy was one of 11 California Schools selected for this award based on the ability of teachers and parents working together to help their students meet their Academic Performance Index growth targets while teaching children about civic responsibilities. TMA had an opportunity to share many of their special projects and lessons through a written application process and an on-site validation visit. During the visitation, Bette Wineberg observed the Outdoor Learning Center with children and parents watering the seedlings for the "Seed to Harvest" program for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Mrs. Mulligan's second grade students participated in a gingerbread assembly line as children learned the importance of working collaboratively.

TMA was extremely honored to receive this special award. Principal Cindy Agopian and parents Monique Nelsen and Marci Maietta-Wineberg attended the February 10th California Service-Learning luncheon where TMA was recognized by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell.

A plaque and a flag is proudly displayed at the school to remind students that they can make a difference in their school and the community.

Congrats!
