In honor of Marlene
Thank you for commemorating my sister in such a beautiful way.
I found this rhsnewswire website and saw the great poetry and the trip in commemoration of my sister and just wanted to thank the contributors and trip organizers.
I also wanted to extend an invitation to everyone for a candlelit vigil we will be holding on Wednesday May 26th at Pinole Shores in honor of Marlene. Wednesday marks 3 months since her death. I will email the editor a flier.

RHS college fair
Several booths were lined at the main entrance of the school with representatives from such institutions as Western Career College, UC Davis, and Wyotech. Richmond High School held a College and Career fair on Thursday, May 20th,2010. These representatives offered interested students with a walk through of their individual colleges. Students also had the chance to ask questions concerning admission requirements, campus life, cost, etc. Blanca Hernandez, the organizer for Advancement, Motor,Alliance&Cause(A.M.A.Ca) says “I pursue a lot of advocation for AB540 scholarships for undocumented students.” Blanca’s organization helps undocumented students get higher learning advantages, which in the U.S. are a necessity. Normally, undocumented students only have a partial chance of getting a scholarship to go to college. Robert Hickerson from UC Davis says “Many student activities help you gain experiences for your career.” UC Davis is a college located in Davis, California. Yvonne Steffen says “Clark University is a very well known campus , I went to Clark.” A lot of information was given about these campuses which you may find on their websites.

Aqua Team Update: The mural
Reporter: Olachi Obioma
On April 24, 2010, Richmond High’s “Tree Huggers”, originally known as the Aqua Team, painted a mural at the El Sobrante Public Library. It took the team three weeks to figure out what picture was going to be on the mural and what story they wanted to tell through it. According to Daisy Villalvazo, a member of Aqua Team, “the priming on the wall went so fast, in fact it only took an hour. When the mural is done it will represent the earth’s cycle and the books on the trees represent . . .always learn[ing] from mother earth.” From day one, the students worked very cordially. At certain points the only thing that the students could do was wait for the paint to dry. For example, when they applied the primer on the wall, they were forced to wait in order to continue their project. Afterwards, the students came back to trace the outline of the mural. On the second day they did the actual painting. Approximately 15 students painted for 4 hours and finished the mural. Lots of them said it was a great experience.
