FALL Principal’s Message
Edna Corrubia
Students and Staff of the Noll Program, It truly is an honor and privilege to have been selected as the Principal at Fremont Adult and Continuing Education (FACE). For the past 27 years I have worked in adult education — 16 years as a career technical education instructor and the past 11 years as adult school administrator. My initial goal is to continue to preserve the existing school culture and educational programs at FACE, and my long term goal is to expand class offerings that will prepare students for their next educational goal: employment and higher education. At your service, Gladys Kiefer, Principal
We would like to welcome Tracey Levy, the new Assistant Principal. She was born in Berkeley, California and now resides in Oakland. Tracey has been teaching for 20 years, helping students acquire knowledge in various subject areas. Tracey enjoys Bikram Yoga (hot yoga), baking pound cake, and meditating. Her favorite television show is the Mrs. Marple, a mini-series. Tracey’s favorite foods are sweet potatoes, cornbread, greens and especially kale with sautéed onions and carrots. She starts with music and dancing to set a joyous mood for the day. Interviewed by Christina, Sam, and Kartika Adults with Disabilities Program—Noll Center
Edna was a very caring and faithful friend to everyone at Noll Adult School. Edna, along with her nieces, Pamela and Priscilla, have been attending classes for about 10 years and enjoyed many friendships over the years. Edna was in Eric’s class and always sat in her seat next to Eric’s desk. Each morning Edna would faithfully give her dollar for lunch, and she would make sure the girls also handed over their money. She was like a second mom, always watching out for them. Edna had many special talents. Her assistance in preparing the daily lunch was a tremendous help to Eric. She would often help direct some of the other students in preparing the plates. After eating the delicious lunch that she helped prepare, she usually helped load the dishwasher. Edna enjoyed doing Yoga with Lori and creating different arts and crafts with Lorraine. In Current Events, the students were asked what they did over the weekend, more often than not, Edna would say that she had been window shopping at Southland Mall. A few years ago, Edna, Pam, and Priscilla went skydiving at iFLY, an indoor simulation of skydiving. What’s really amazing is that she would skydive almost every weekend. And of course, she enjoyed computer class and won many games of solitaire. Arguably, her favorite class was gardening where she enjoyed working with Vince (Noll gardener) and the twins. Edna will be remembered as a kind and true friend to all. The students and staff will miss her but know that she is at peace.

Native American Studies Program The Native American Museum houses a wide variety of authentic cultural artifacts and displays student and professional art work. These items are arranged and exhibited according to the 10 Native American cultural regions of North America. The students took the tour of the museum at the FACE site. In honor of Native American Heritage month, students toured the museum and participated in making Cornhusk Dolls. The liaison was Christine Swarts. She showed us artifacts and shared many stories about the Native Americans and how they lived, hunted, and survived living off the land. All the students enjoyed the tour.
There’s a Reading Center on campus! Students in our classrooms vary greatly in their literacy needs and ability levels. A literacy center has been designated for specific learning purposes including how to read, write, and spell. Students have multiple opportunities to participate in meaningful experiences and collaborate with others. It is designed to provide appropriate materials to help students work independently, with partners, or in small groups. A BIG thank you goes to Half Price Books at Fremont Hub and others for donating reading materials to the center.
Thank you Christine from all the students. We appreciate your time and sharing. By Barbara M.

We have started a new class called the Individual Cooking Class. Students get to learn first hand how to make their own meals by Chefs Lori and Jackie. We work together to:
In an effort to teach our students about relevant and current issues, we are developing themed-based curriculum that will expose them to new things and ideas. Topics will be covered in multiple classes and through a variety of activities. Here is a list of themes that will be covered for the 2015-2016 school year.
Plan - We decide what we want to prepare for a meal and what ingredients we need. Shop - We go to the store to buy the ingredients. Prepare - We read directions on how to prepare the food and then learn simple tasks that are involved with preparing the meal. We learn how to boil water, how to read the instructions, and how to measure ingredients.
November - Native American
Eat - After the meal is prepared, we get to take home a sample to enjoy.
