In Original Oratory, senior Jamie Ma won first. In Informative Speaking, Ma placed third and junior Gabrielle Platon first. In Program Oral Interpretation, Platon won first and freshman Amelie Heying placed second. Sophomores Rochelle Tran and Alexia Estrada placed third in Duo Interpretation.
The team now focuses on qualifying for the state championships held in Union City in April.

EarthWise

The EarthWise club’s mission is to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability in the Fullerton community.
The club, looking to recruit new members, will meet at lunch on Feb. 25 in Room 239 to discuss two upcoming projects: a recycling drive and an Arbor Day tree planting.
EarthWise hopes to encourage students to convert to eco-friendly and cost-friendly alternatives in their daily lives.
In the club’s welcome presentation, they provide ideas for inexpensive sustainability, like using LED light bulbs, eating less meat, and using reef-safe sunscreen.

Gymnasium construction

Starting March 2, all student and faculty parking in the stadium lot will be closed due to gym construction. Students with parking permits can park in the lot at the farm on the corner of Berkeley and Lemon or the non-staff spaces in the Lemon lot.
Construction for the new gymnasium will begin March 2, four weeks after the Feb. 11 groundbreaking ceremony.
To remedy the displacement of stadium parking, the school has restriped the parking lot at the farm with 55 new spaces and six new handicap spaces. Students with permits should begin relocating their cars to the farm lot or Lemon lot as soon as possible.

ASB Applications

The last day to submit ASB applications for the 2020-2021 school year will be March 2. Mr. Weinrich and Ms. Ortiz will accept applications in the front office and Mr. Shanebeck will accept applications in Room 67.
