Third- through eighth-grade students at Zuni Hills painted selfportraits and worked collaboratively to make a peace rug for an art gallery exhibit. Last semester, local artist Ann Morton led art workshops in Debra Adams art classes and challenged the students to illustrate a more peaceful world in their art. In February, students and their families were invited to attend a reception at an art gallery featuring their work. Their portraits and peace rug is included in the Peace Makers art exhibit on display through April 29 in the Young Art Gallery located inside the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts.

As a Peoria Uni�ied parent, full-time healthcare worker and Governing Board member, I understand h o w valuable time is to district parents. We take on enorBeverly Pingerelli Board Clerk m o u s commitments to ensure our children �lourish in their knowledge and life skills. We’re hopeful as they grow and learn — aspiring towards a future �illed with opportunity that a quality
education, and a steadfast work ethic, offers. My husband and I are proud to say our children attend Peoria Uni�ied schools. Even with our hectic work schedules, as parents we �ind quality time to connect with teachers, coaches and fellow parents or attend our children’s extracurricular activities. It’s these experiences that enrich our students, our schools and our community. As parents we are a key participant in the educational process; we must be involved, informed and
advocate for our schools. I urge district families to take a look at the excellent resources and information on our district website and review our Signature Programs in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), Fine Arts, Language Immersion and Career and Technical Education programs. With our district celebrating its 125th year of educating students, I ask fellow patrons and parents to consider ways of becoming more involved with our district schools.

Arizona’s Governor has proposed a state budget that touts it will put more money into the classroom, when, in actuality, it will reduce classroom spending by depriving teachers of vital support services they need to make sure students graduate ready for college and careers.
Childcare Options for Spring Break: March 16-20 Peoria residents: The City of Peoria’s AM/PM program will hold Spring Break Camp at Cheyenne, Frontier and Paseo Verde Elementary schools. For more information, visit the Community Services Department at www.peoriaz. gov, or call 623-773-7137. gov l
Glendale residents: Peoria Uni�ied’s new EXCEL after school program will hold Spring Break Camp at Desert Valley Elementary School. More information is available at www.peoriaud. k12.az.us, in the Programs and Services drop down list. l
l
The City of Glendale’s G.R.A.S.P. program will hold Spring Break Camp at Sahuaro Ranch Elementary School. For more information visit, www.glendaleaz. com/parksandrecreation, or call 623-930-2820.
Although the proposed budget is unclear where public schools are to make mandatory reductions, Peoria Uni�ied is currently studying several options which include a four-day school week, vs. reducing or eliminating positions that directly impact the health, safety and academic excellence of students. The Governor’s cuts to public education will have ripple effects on our future workforce and Arizona’s economy for generations to come.
GET THE FACTS: The proposed budget calls for a mandatory 5% reduction in non-classroom expenses. In Peoria Uni�ied, that equates to $3-5 million for the district in areas that directly impact the health, safety and academic excellence of students. The proposed budget redirects $700,000 from the a Student Success fund — which Peoria Uni�ied gives directly to teachers — to charter schools. 87% of Arizona’s students attend public neighborhood schools; 13% attend charter schools. In addition to the annual $10.6 million reduction in capital, which funds building and maintenance repair, buses, textbooks and technology, the proposed budget reduces another $4.7 million, for a total of $15.3 million. In the last �ive years, Peoria Uni�ied has already reduced more than $24 million from its budget, including nearly 300 positions. Students in the district have not received new math textbooks since 2002. Per pupil funding for Peoria Uni�ied students is nearly $4,000 less per student than the national average, perpetuating the notion that the state continues to rank 48th in the nation in per pupil funding for public education. l

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Use #MySchool and #OurFuture to spread the word on social media about how cuts to education will hurt the Arizona economy and our future work force. Contact your elected of�icials and make sure they know that the proposed budget will hurt public schools and have negative repercussions on our local economy. l

125-Year Alumni Feature Story: Bri�any Mengel, PHS Class of 2005 Peoria District alumni Brittany Mengel graduated in 2005 from Peoria High and here is her story: “Both my parents struggled with addictions. Then, my mother moved in with someone else and decided I couldn’t move with her. I lived by myself in a studio apartment from my sophomore to senior year.

I was very lucky to have a strong support system from my “foster” family at Peoria High. There were days when I didn’t really see the point of anything. I looked around myself and saw students excited about clubs or test grades and I was worried about making rent. I carried a chip on my shoulder, I was angry. The staff at Peoria High helped me to see the light inside of me when everything else was dark. Arlene Bruce took me under her wing and never let me go. My Human Psychology teacher, Mr. Treguboff, told jokes �irst thing in the morning, which gave me something to look forward to each day. Ms. McCollum’s no-nonsense attitude in journalism and life helped me to learn how to push on and get the assignment done. In Honors English, Mr. Jennings opened doors in my

mind and heart that I didn’t even know were closed. Our endless dissection of classic literature gave me a love for the power of words on a page. Ms. Moore was my choir teacher and NEVER settled for anything less than my best. Finally, Mr. Alyward helped me not only graduate high school, but also college. He tutored me through math blocks on the way to becoming a teacher. I have been teaching third-grade at Peoria Elementary for four years. I could not have done it without my Peoria High School teachers.”
