IN THE NEWS: Out with the old, in with the new: Vail Elementary sports modernized campus, tech improvements
January 12, 2020
After more than a year of construction and renovations, Vail Elementary School in Temecula officially celebrated the opening of its reworked campus with a grand re-opening Saturday, Jan. 11.
The elementary school is one of the oldest in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, first constructed in the late 1970s to serve Temecula’s very first subdivisions, was closed for the entire 2018-19 school year while construction crews knocked down one of its aging buildings to replace it with a new two-level structure and library, while also remodeling the remaining buildings. The campus opened to students for fall 2019, but construction was not finally completed until December, according to the school’s principal, Jimmy Evans.
The newly modernized campus features upgrades like in-classroom Smart Boards, but in remaking the school, the opportunity was taken to make other changes as well.

IN THE NEWS: Rose Parade Features Deaf Performer From Moreno Valley
January 1, 2020
MORENO VALLEY, Calif. — Few sounds are as distinct as a marching band—the power of the drumline combines with the deep sound of the tuba and the grace of the flute. Multiple instruments harmonize for each melody.
Yet there's a student in the Rancho Verde High School Color Guard who only hears one sound—silence. Leslie Gomez is completely deaf and stays in step with the rest of the band.
She’s been flying the flags for four years and says it was really hard at first to learn.
“My old coach had to teach me and I had to figure out how the flag worked, and she had to show me my hand movements,” Gomez said. “Then my sister was also in color guard and she taught me a little at home and now I understand.”
She counts out each beat to stay in step. While everyone else is looking forward for direction, Leslie looks to the side where her interpreter Carrie Ann is in sync with the music and signing the steps.
