The continuous hydrologic cycle The hydrologic cycle is the continuous circulation of water from land and sea to the atmosphere and back again. Water evaporates from oceans, lakes and rivers into the atmosphere and this water later precipitates as rain or snow onto the land it once evaporated from. The water usually infiltrates (seeps) into the soil and rock from which some is transpired back into the atmosphere by plants. The remainder becomes ground water, which eventually seeps into streams where it evaporates or flows to the ocean.

Kindergartner Christopher Martinez’s Valentine’s Day party at Herk Bouris Elementary School was supposed to be a fun day with his classmates. The six-year-old went shopping with his mom, handpicked a box of Angry Birds cards to pass out to his friends, along with treats. However, on Feb. 12, the day before the party, Christopher received a school suspension for having an autism-related breakdown in class. The Martinez family is upset saying their child’s needs are not being met and their concerns are not being addressed properly by the Menifee Unified School District. His father, Clifford Martinez, reported that when he came to school at the end of the day to pick up his son he found him sitting in the office.
