More than 10,000 books have been gifted to children under five years old across San Bernardino County through First 5 San Bernardino’s annual “Gift a Kid a Book” campaign. This year’s milestone was celebrated during the Miracle on Court Street event on Dec. 17, where 1,000 books were
available to local families. The campaign aims to promote literacy and early learning, offering children a meaningful alternative to screen time while nurturing their development.
Karen Scott, executive director of First 5 San Bernardino, reflected on the impact of reading. “Books are a timeless gift that can transport a child anywhere,” Scott said. “In
a world dominated by screens, a book offers an opportunity to connect, learn, and dream.”
Scott, who has served with the organization for 17 years, shared personal anecdotes to illustrate the power of reading. “As a child, I loved books so much that I’d First Five cont. on next pg.

The IEHP Foundation just awarded
$2.3 million in grants to 40 San Bernardino and Riverside area nonprofits, part of a broader $4.6 million twoyear investment through its inaugural Champions for Vibrant Health Leadership Network. The program, running from 2025 to 2026, aims to strengthen organizational infrastructure and develop leadership with-
in community-based organizations (CBOs) addressing social determinants of health.
Selected nonprofits include Catholic Charities Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, Mary’s Mercy Center, Never Stop Grinding Impact, and Rainbow Pride Youth Alliance. These organizations will receive unrestricted funding, allowing them to allocate resources based on their unique needs, such as staffing, technology, and capital improvements.
Investing in Community Needs
Unrestricted funding offers nonprofits the flexibility to address operational gaps and invest in their long-term sustainability. IEHP Foundation CEO Greg Bradbard explained, “We are investing not only in the mission of these organizations but also in the leadership that will shape the future of the region. Nonprofits know their communities best and need the freedom to allocate

often get in trouble for staying up late under the covers with a flashlight. I devoured stories like the ‘Nancy Drew’ mysteries, ‘Pippi Longstocking,’ and ‘Madeline.’ Those books sparked my imagination and curiosity,” she said.
The “Gift a Kid a Book” campaign is rooted in science that underscores the importance of early learning. Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain develops within the first five years of life, making these early experiences critical for lifelong success. First 5 San Bernardino’s initiative encourages families to choose books as gifts, fostering a love for reading and learning during this pivotal period.
“Parents and caregivers play a vital role in cultivating curiosity and a love for learning,” Scott explained. “Sharing a story not only builds literacy skills but also strengthens the bond between a child and their caregiver. A book can truly be the foundation for a lifetime of exploration and growth.”
To make book-giving accessible, First 5 San Bernardino provides recommended reading lists by age and online storybooks on their website. Families can also learn how to receive free books or support the campaign through donations.
The campaign reached new heights at the Miracle on Court Street, a festive event hosted by the City of San Bernardino from Dec. 5-22. On Dec. 17, First 5 San Bernardino transformed the space into a pop-up bookstore, with 1,000 books for young readers.
The event featured crafts, photo opportunities, roller skating, and a special performance by children’s entertainer Mr. Markus the Music Man, creating a magical evening for families.
“This campaign is about more than just handing out books—it’s about creating joyful memories and sparking a love of learning,” Scott said.

NSG Impact and Rialto Unified Partner to Combat Bullying Crisis with Social-Emotional Learning, Boxing Program
Community News
The Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) has approved an expansion of Never Stop Grinding (NSG) Impact’s innovative social-emotional learning and boxing program to four additional schools. With three campuses already participating, the program will now reach students at Jehue, Kolb, Kucera, Frisbee, and Rialto Middle Schools, offering weekly sessions starting Jan. 8, 2025, through at-least May 19, 2025.
The district’s Dec. 18 approval builds on the program’s success in fostering self-awareness, social skills, and resilience among students while addressing the persistent issue of bullying. The expansion comes amid heightened awareness of bullying’s consequences following a stabbing incident in October 2024 at Frisbie Middle School, where a student defending a peer was hospitalized.
NSG Impact CEO Darious Harris, a Rialto native and former professional boxer, underscored the program’s mission to provide students with tools to navigate challenges both at school and in life.
“It’s a pleasure to come back and make a difference in the district I grew up in. Kucera is a school I attended, and it’s important to bring awareness to bullying—especially now,” Harris said.

funds where they’re most impactful.”
Grants were awarded based on alignment with the foundation’s focus on vital conditions, including humane housing, access to basic needs, meaningful work and wealth, and lifelong learning. Organizations with annual budgets under $1 million will receive $50,000 over two years, while those with budgets exceeding $1 million will receive up to $130,000.
Some organizations plan to use the grants for staffing, including hiring additional personnel and creating growth positions to enhance their capacity and serve more clients. Others highlighted the need for technology upgrades, such as new software and computers, to streamline their work. “For most organizations, it wasn’t just one thing,” said Bradbard. “The funding will support multiple projects, allowing them to accomplish various goals and strengthen their impact in the community.”
Empowering Local Leaders
The Leadership Network also provides quarterly training sessions and two multi-day retreats focused on skills such as communication, strategic thinking, succession planning, and team building. Emerging leaders from each organization will participate alongside executive leaders to build a pipeline of future directors.
Carolyn Fajardo, CEO of Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino, emphasized the program’s collaborative potential. “This opportunity will enhance our ability to collaborate effectively and create lasting, positive impacts for the communities we serve.” She also shared that the grant will help strengthen their nutrition-focused programs and build meaningful partnerships.
toy distribution. In 2024, the organization provided over 1,000 turkeys and distributed more than 3,500 toys to families in need.
Addressing Health Equity
San Bernardino, a region with significant health disparities, stands to benefit greatly from this initiative. The IEHP Foundation prioritized nonprofits that serve vulnerable populations, including low-income families, communities of color, and rural areas. “We recognize that local nonprofits are well-positioned as trusted messengers to the communities they serve,” said Bradbard.
Participating organizations will also contribute to policy advocacy through trips to Sacramento, amplifying the region’s needs for state-level health equity initiatives.
The IEHP Foundation’s commitment extends beyond financial support. By addressing social determinants of health, the initiative aims to create environments that promote physical and mental well-being. “Healthy neighborhoods are built on good housing, access to nutritious food, and spaces that encourage healthy behaviors,” Bradbard added.
Nonprofits Awarded in the San Bernardino area include:
Cedar House Life Change Center
Catholic Charities Riverside and San Bernardino Counties
Children’s Fund
Mary’s Mercy Center
Never Stop Grinding Impact
Operation New Hope
The NSG Impact program incorporates all five social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies identified by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL):
Self-Awareness: Helping students recognize their emotions, values, and strengths while identifying their personal challenges.
Self-Management: Teaching students to manage their emotions and behaviors to achieve their goals.
Social Awareness: Encouraging students to show understanding and empathy for others, including peers and teachers.
Relationship Skills: Equipping students with tools to form positive relationships, work in teams, and resolve conflicts effectively.
Responsible Decision-Making: Guiding students to make ethical, constructive choices regarding their personal and social behavior.
These competencies are woven into the program alongside tailored lesson plans addressing bullying, literacy, numeracy, and public speaking, creating a holistic approach to student development.
However, a key focus of the program is addressing the emotional isolation many students experience.
Darious Harris, CEO of Never Stop Grinding Impact, shared that the funding will help establish a community center in Rialto at 898 Rialto Avenue. The center will offer college and career readiness programs, tutoring, gang intervention initiatives, a boxing program and more. Harris added, “The skills they are teaching us through the Leadership Network are imperative on how to run our organizations more efficiently. To get paid to learn how to run an organization better is unbelievable and a true blessing.”
The second portion of Never Stop Grinding Impact’s funding will support its annual holiday drives in 2025, including a turkey giveaway and

SBCCD Trustees Honor Gloria Macias Harrison and Dr. Anne Viricel with Emeritus Status
Community News
On December 13, the San Bernardino Community College District Board of Trustees unanimously granted “emeritus” status to former trustees Gloria Macias Harrison and Dr. Anne L. Viricel, recognizing their years of dedicated leadership.
Harrison and Viricel, who stepped down on June 30, 2024, were honored for their impact on the district, which serves Crafton Hills College, San Bernardino Valley College, KVCR Public Media, and the Economic Development and Corporate Training Center.
Emeritus status is reserved for those who meet strict criteria: at least eight years of continuous service, significant contributions to the district’s growth, and a commitment to expanding educational opportunities for the community.
It’s a heartfelt acknowledgment of two leaders who shaped the future of SBCCD and its students.
Gloria Macias Harrison
Harrison, who served on the board from 2012 to 2024, was celebrated for her decades-long commitment to ed-
ucation and student success.
Board Chair Dr. Stephanie Houston praised Harrison’s impact, stating: “Gloria Macias Harrison’s dedication and leadership have been instrumental in shaping our district’s success. Her passion for education and commitment to student achievement have set a strong foundation for our future.”
Chancellor Diana Z. Rodriguez highlighted Harrison’s influence on the district: “Trustee Macias Harrison’s deep knowledge of higher education, governance, fiscal matters, and regional dynamics has profoundly shaped how we support our students. Her leadership on the board was a guiding light, ensuring we provide highquality education and career training for both today’s and tomorrow’s students. We honor her exceptional service with deep gratitude and look forward to her continued involvement in the community she loves and serves so passionately.”
Dr. Anne L. Viricel
Dr. Viricel, who served on the board from 2015 to 2024, was recognized for her leadership and dedication to expanding access to higher education.
Board Chair Dr. Stephanie Houston also commended Dr. Viricel’s service: “Dr. Viricel has been a remarkable leader, not only within our district but also on a statewide level. Her unique perspective as a universitylevel business professor, nonprofit executive director, community advocate, mother, and grandmother enriched every decision we’ve made as a board. We congratulate her on her new chapter and remain deeply grateful for her contributions to our district and the wider community.”
Chancellor Diana Z. Rodriguez reflected on Dr. Viricel’s contributions: “Dr. Viricel’s wisdom and leadership were instrumental in expanding access to higher education and creating opportunities for our community. Her steady guidance as board chair during the pandemic helped us navigate challenging times and set a solid foundation that will benefit our students for years to come. I’m deeply grateful for her distinguished service and especially for her passion for arts education, which has greatly enriched our community’s cultural landscape.”
The SBCCD Board of Trustees expressed its gratitude for both Harrison and Viricel, whose legacies will continue to shape the district’s efforts to serve its 20,000 students and the broader Inland Empire community.
Fontana Unified Brings Holiday Joy to Families through 27th Annual ‘Fontana Santas’ Toy Distribution
Community News
Fontana Unified School District’s (FUSD) headquarters parking lot once again transformed into a Southern California winter wonderland as it continued its tradition of spreading holiday cheer to local families in need during its 27th annual Fontana Santas toy distribution on Dec. 21.
For hours, a steady line of cars moved through the festive event picking up gifts of school supplies, food, books, and information on readily available community resources before lastly visiting Santa and Mrs.
Claus, who handed out toys near their sleigh.
Volunteers of FUSD students, staff, and community members, including the entire Board of Education loaded each car up with gifts. For Elsie Avalos, who works in Maple Elementary School’s health office, it was a chance for her family to give back to the community as she volunteered alongside her daughters Joanna and Isabella.
“I just love seeing the happy faces, it is wonderful we can do this together,” said Elsie, whose daughter Isabella is a fifthgrader at Maple Elementary while Joanna graduated from Ju-
rupa Hills High School in 2022 and currently attends Cal State San Bernardino. “We were counting the days until this event. I love when the girls come with me, they see there are those who are less fortunate out there, it’s a reminder we are lucky with what we have.”
Fontana Santas is hosted in partnership with the Fontana School Police Department (FSPD), Fontana Teachers Association, United Steelworkers Local 8599, the Fontana Foundation of Hope, Fontana School Police Officers Association, Fontana Management Association, and more.
Donations of toys and other essential items were collected throughout the Fontana Unified community for a month-and-ahalf leading up to the event, with drop-off locations at the Fontana School Police Department and at all FUSD school campuses.
Fontana Santas dates to 1997 when Fontana School Police learned a Fontana boy ran away from home after Christmas because he did not receive any presents. Since then, the Fontana School Police Department and Fontana Unified Employees have collected toys and donations from local organizations and delivered them to students during the holidays, creating a
treasured tradition that has provided toys to thousands of Fontana Unified students over the last 27 years.
“Fontana Santas is a day all of us at Fontana Unified have circled on our calendars every year,” Superintendent Miki R. Inbody said. “We cannot thank our staff, students, and community partners for making this celebration possible year after year. It is an event that not only spreads holiday cheer but reinforces our identity here at Fontana Unified, showcasing the incredible generosity and unity of our community.”

With 25 years of service to the City of Redlands, Gonzales is a historian, archivist, and curator in the Special Collections Division at A.K. Smiley Public Library. Since 2013, he has managed the library’s Lincoln Memorial Shrine museum, overseeing its annual budget, personnel, and volunteer programs. He also serves as an adjunct professor in the History Department at University of Redlands.
Gonzales earned his bachelor’s degree in history from University of the Pacific and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Riverside.
Vice Chair Joseph R. Williams
Williams has represented SBCCD Trustee Area 2, which includes the communities of Muscoy, Rialto, and San Bernardino, since 2013. He is Community Agent of Strategic Partnerships for the Rialto Unified School District and serves as a governor’s appointee to the California Community Colleges Board of Governors.
Clerk Dr. Cherina Betters
Betters was appointed in June 2024 to fill a vacancy on the board, representing SBCCD Trustee Area 7, which includes parts of San Bernardino, Highland, Lake Arrowhead, and mountain communities. She was elected to a full term in November 2024 and serves as the Chief of Equity and Access for the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools.
The newly elected leadership team is set to guide SBCCD’s efforts in expanding educational access, promoting workforce development, and fostering partnerships that benefit the Inland Empire.
Covered California Hits Record Enrollment Before its First Key Open Enrollment Deadline on Dec. 31
Community News
Covered California has surpassed 1.8 million enrollees, reaching its record-high enrollment with over a week until the first open enrollment deadline on Dec. 31.
This open enrollment, 143,686 Californians have signed up for 2025 coverage as of Dec. 14, marking a 3 percent increase over the same period last year.
Another 1,647,162 Californians have renewed their coverage so far, a 4 percent increase over the same period last year.
“We have a record 1.8 million Californians already enrolled for 2025 coverage, but history teaches us the next week will be our busiest for new sign ups,” Covered California Executive Director Jessica Altman said. “We want to make sure every uninsured Californian understands that the most financial assistance ever offered through the Affordable Care Act is available here in California for 2025. Now is the time to take advantage of this financial assistance to start the New Year with affordable, name-brand health coverage and peace of mind for you and your family.”
With the first open-enrollment deadline of Dec. 31 quickly approaching, Covered California is urging consumers to sign up now so they can have their health care coverage for all of 2025, beginning on Jan. 1. Open enrollment will end on Jan. 31.
Nearly half of the new enrollees have come from four Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino) counties with 68,095 sign-ups.
Also, nearly 39,000 new enrollees identified as Latino,
while nearly 28,000 Asian Americans have signed up for coverage so far. Over 33,000 White Californians and over 4,000 Black Californians have enrolled, and over 28,000 Californians did not disclose their Race/Ethnicity.
Despite the continued progress, the latest data from the California Simulation of Insurance Markets (CalSIM), a model created by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, shows that there are nearly 1.3 million uninsured Californians who either qualify for subsidies through Covered California (591,000) or are eligible for Medi-Cal coverage (675,000), and they reside all over the state.
California’s Cost-Sharing Reduction Program Highlights Robust Assistance
In 2025, Covered California is offering more financial help for Californians than ever before. Building on the existing federal subsidies to help pay for health insurance premiums, Covered California is enhancing its cost-sharing reduction program that reduces the cost of accessing health care for consumers by lowering outof-pocket costs when they seek medical care, including eliminating deductibles in all three Silver cost-sharing reduction plans.
The cost-sharing reduction program for out-ofpocket costs is available to all
Californians with incomes above 200 percent of the federal poverty level (which is $30,120 for a single person and $62,400 for a family of four), while those under 200 percent of the federal poverty level will continue to have access to higher levels of benefits.
In 2024, nearly 800,000 existing Covered California enrollees are taking advantage of this program, and over
100,000 of our new enrollees have qualified for these cost savings and richer benefits for 2025. That means nearly 1.1 million enrollees have already enrolled in enhanced Silver plans for 2025.
Nearly 90 percent of Covered California’s enrollees receive financial help. Two-thirds of those enrollees are eligible for health insurance for $10 or less per month, and nearly half could get a comprehensive Silver plan for that price.
Signing Up for Coverage Is Easy
Consumers can learn more about their options by visiting CoveredCA.com, where they can easily find out if they qualify for financial help and see the coverage options in their area. Those interested in learning more about their coverage options can also:
Get free and confidential assistance over the phone, in a variety of languages, from one of more than 14,000 certified agents and community-based organizations throughout the state that provide free, confidential help in whatever language or dialect consumers prefer. Have a certified enroller call them and help them for free.
Use Covered California’s online calculator tool. Call Covered California at (800) 300-1506.
Californians who forgo health coverage will be subject to a tax penalty administered by the State Franchise Tax Board. The penalty for not having coverage the entire year will be at least $900 per adult and $450 per dependent child under 18 in the household. A family of four that goes uninsured for the whole year would face a penalty of at least $2,700.
