eslie Pjerrou, a fifthgrade teacher at Riley College Prep Academy in San Bernardino, was recently awarded for being one of 100 of the top teachers around the world for helping students succeed during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“Early on in the pandemic it was a challenge to teach, especially because I had never done any type of remote teaching and for the most part, it was a new concept for students as well. But the IXL program really helped me successfully guide my students through language arts, reading, writing, math, and science,” said Pjerrou.

The Elite 100 list, produced by IXL, a K-12 personalized learning program used by 13 million students, over 800,000 teachers, and Pjerrou was one of those recognized.

“The past few school years have been some of the most challenging, but they are also clear reminders that nothing is more important to a child’s education than support from great teachers. Dedicated educators have engaged, encouraged and empowered students so that they receive the best education possible,” said Paul Mishkin, CEO of IXL Learning. “This year’s Elite 100 is an outstanding example of

Alinea Medical Imaging's mobile unit will be at the Fifth Street Senior Center, located at 780 East 21st Street on Friday, February 25, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Appointments are encouraged by calling (877) 4AN-EXAM or by going to www.alineamed.com. Youth Enrichment Services/Santa Claus Inc. - chips, drinks, popcorn Individual faculty members have also dropped off canned goods and fruits Additionally, special funding through the Hunger Free Campus Bill allowed the resource center to partner with the Culinary Arts program and cafeteria to provide students freshly prepared meals, purchase gift cards for students, and purchase groceries from Stater Bros. The funding also afforded the resource center new freezers, shelving for the pantry, and various supplies to meet student needs better.

"Free mammograms are another example of San Bernardino collaborating with partners to provide important health screening opportunities for our residents," said Parks, Recreation & Community Services Director Lydie Gutfeld. "We are excited to work with Alinea Medical and will continue to look for additional health The Valley 360 Resource Center is staffed by the Student Equity & Success division, overseen by the Office of Student Life. The resource center is open to students registered for the current semester, with one visit per week.

The procedure is safe, fast, and the discomfort is minimal for most women. Elite real-time and determine who may need assistance; and from there I’ve been able to work them back up to grade-level,” continued Pjerrou. She said that the IXL program really helped her determine whether or not she needed to remediate any lessons, before moving forward as many students fell behind in their education between 2020-2021. “In 2020 and 2021 the greatest challenge was to get students to attend online class and get them to do their work. Getting them engaged was tough because, for many of them, there’s not someone standing over them ensuring they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” Pjerrou said. She also shared that this school year’s biggest challenge has been getting students used to the class-

The City of San Bernardino is home to thirty-three parks that span approximately five hundred acres of open space and developed land.

I had a two to a three-month adjustment period, where I had to get them back into working with classroom procedures. On top of that, there’s been lots of remediation because students came back to campus at different levels. Some students made progress and excelled with remote learning, but many of them did fall behind,” Pjerrou said. Pjerrou says that although she is appreciative of the recognition, she’s in it because she truly cares about preparing the next generation of students for success. “It’s crucial for us teachers to prepare our students for the future. My goal is to get students to realize what a great opportunity they have in front of them, the opportunity to be educated. I tell them, you’re getting this education, take advantage of it,” concluded Pjerrou.

Aguilar joins local housing leader s to highlight Affordable Housing Resident Ser vices Act Arrowhead Grove could be a model for affordable housing units across the country. “When residents in affordable housing communities have access to supportive services like afterschool programs and financial literacy training, it gives them opportunities- to grow and thrive,” Rep. Aguilar said. “We should be doing all that we can to help people make a better life for themselves and their families. My legislation will support families and build stronger communities here in the Inland Empire and across the country.”

I'm excited to see Congressman Aguilar use Arrowhead Grove as an example to expand the same opportunities my family has had to other communities.” The Affordable Housing Resident Services Act creates a fiveyear grant program under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide yearly funding to affordable housing property owners for resident supportive services. These services include after-school programs, education opportunities for youth and adult residents, mental health and substance abuse treatment, elderly care, financial literacy training and more.

Caden Center The NBA’s All-Star Saturday Night Showcase needs changes, and I am here to help

et another NBA All-Star weekend has come and gone. Team LeBron took home a 5th straight win behind 50 points and 16 3 pointers made from Steph Curry, along with a game winning fadeaway from LeBron. The actual game and the Sunday events honoring the NBA’s 75th anniversary were memorable and iconic. However, what occurred the night before reminded us all of a glaring problem in the weekends events that I will try to help solve. This problem being the Saturday night contests that include the skills challenge, 3 point contest, and dunk contest. We’ll start with the skills challenge. This year, rather than having individual players compete, 3 teams were made. Team Cavs from the host city Cleveland featuring Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Jarret Allen; Team Rooks made up of rookies Josh Giddey, Scottie Barnes, and Cade Cunningham; and a team made up of the 3 Antetokounmpo brothers. While the concept and team idea wasn’t bad on paper, it just was not it. This is mainly due to the fact that, people do not want the skills challenge anymore. It’s basic and does not have much flair to it, given it’s only meant to show off players’ basic fundamentals, which is nice but not made for the bright lights. However, there is a

perfect replacement: a tournament. The NBA can set up a 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 tournament of multiple teams. Just like on the playground, games can be scored by 1’s and 2’s to 12, or 2’s and 3’s to 21. To make sure some stars are involved, money to first place can be thrown in. Players can pick their own teams before hand and enter them. It would create great entertainment and showcase the isolation, street ball like skills of players. As for the 3 point contest, what you can do to up it is limited. But, there are some shakeups. As the NBA game has evolved, we’ve seen off the dribble deep 3’s become more popular. Maybe instead of shooting from a rack the entire competition, off the dribble step backs, fades, and pull ups can be added with point worth increasing based on degree of difficulty. Imagine Luka Doncic and James Harden having a step back contest from 30 feet to determine a winner. It would be endless entertainment. Now, for the one most difficult to fix: the dunk contest. The dunk contest has had some iconic moments from legendary participants such as Dr J, Dominique Wilkins, Kobe, MJ, Zach Lavine, Aaron Gordon, and so many more. Yet in recent years there have been mul-

tiple problems that have come up. One, lack of headliner names. Two, lack of creativity/dunks left to do. Three, the format. As for getting headliner names, money talks. Add a pot of up to a million dollars for the players and/or charity like they have done for the actual All Star Game itself and I guarantee at least 1-2 superstars take the bait. As for creativity, I mean there is a limit to how many dunks are possible. But maybe have professional dunkers assist or “coach” the players and give them ideas? This would also help promote street ball and other types of hoopers. Lastly, change the format. Simply add a timer or count every time the player jumps as an attempt. We watched Jalen Green jump 15 times for 10 minutes with no result. That kills the buzz and loses you viewers. Taking these measures can help make sure ASG Saturday is much better. So, there are some creative ways to spice up NBA ASG Saturday Night. While I understand there are things holding players back from participating such as possible injury risk and fatigue, the NBA has become very lazy and hasn’t taken many measures to make Saturday a better night. Hopefully next year, we see these ideas or something similar made a reality.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being

auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
