Bicycle Safety 2002-2003
The San Joaquin Public Health District was here on Wednesday, October 16 to hold 2 assemblies on bike helmet safety.  There was a demonstration on the importance of wearing helmets while riding a bike and showed a 20 minute video on bike safety. In addition, they  provided us with 50 free bike helmets. Drawings were held for the bike helmets at both assemblies. 

All those who won the helmets were excited to have won.  Many said they would use their helmet. 
Alta and Leroy Taylor, members of the Kiwanis Club donated several helmets to children who could not otherwise afford them this year as well.  We are very grateful to them for their continued support.  The Lockford Kiwanis had to close their chapter last year  but the Taylors have personally committed to continue to help in any way they can.

Attendance Incentive Program Continues...

The Lockford Kiwanis ("Serving the Children of the World") Club graciously donated bicycles for the GRAND attendance prize for the year 2002-2003. Thank you Kiwanis! Photo of bicycles HERE!

Oak View School continues a good attendance incentive program under the direction of Jess Moreno, our Outreach Consultant and Rita Rabon, our school secretary. This will involve multiple efforts to award good and timely attendance at school including weekly classroom drawings form those children with perfect attendance, quarterly drawings for prizes, and monthly class awards for the classes with the best attendance rates.

CONGRATULATIONS  go to Mrs. Franke's 3rd Grade Class for the best attendance percentage! Despite the onslaught of illnesses, her class has managed to have a 98.75% attendance rate for the quarter!  Her class received the attendance trophy and a snack! This award is ongoing- congratulations to all classes who came before her and each class which follows! Keep up the good work!

Also, support is being offered to students who need to improve their attendance. These students will receive regular support, encouragement, and participate in drawings for prizes based on improvement in timely attendance.
