CIR Kick-Off Meeting

On Thursday, Sept 10, 2009, we held our first CIR meeting of the 2009-2010 school year. In the meeting, we discussed plans for the upcoming year that include; individual meetings with all students, college trips, college application process for seniors, community service projects and the role of the CIR Leadership Group within CIR. So far, the program is off to a good start. We are looking forward to making this year are most succesful yet!

CIR Awards Dinner 2009

This year the CIR Awards dinner was held at the San Pablo Recreational Center in San Pablo. By far, this year we had the best attendance of students, mentors and parents. Highlights of the dinner included awards to students who achieved a 3.0 GPA and above, speeches by all of our seniors, and scholarship awards to all of our seniors. We hope that next year our awards dinner is as succesfull as this one!
