A taste of Rio is brought to you tonight by our chefs, our ASP officers, Rosie, our vice president, Sophia O, our secretary, Harper, our pride commissioner, Aurora, our reading commissioner, and Ella, our spirit commissioner. and me, your ASB president, Talin. Together, we'll be sharing how our clubs and events at Rio Vista help create a welcoming, engaging school experience for our students. So, sit back, relax, and watch us cook. Next up is what's on the menu. Take a quick glance at everything Vista brings to our school community. First, we'll share an overview of ASB and how we support student leadership across our campus. Next, we'll highlight our ELAB programs where many of our clubs take place after school. Who doesn't love a little show and tell? We are excited to spotlight a few of our most popular clubs and activities, sharing our day of awesomeness, family nights, and what's next on the menu at RIA.
I was a flyer for a while and then I just got like really tall. I hit a growth spurt like freshman year and I was like, whoa, I can't do that anymore. But I really enjoy backspotting. It's definitely been my favorite. >> Stunting is definitely like it's a huge plays a huge role in our performances and um it's just really like so many fun things go on like so many little tiny like jokes and stunts we get to do. And honestly, it just like shows how cohesive we are as a team whenever we stunt and whenever we are able to accomplish like big performances and show off like what we can really do. But yeah, as my role of stunt captain, I pretty much find stunts to do, come up with counts a lot and make sure that everyone is working well together and if they have questions, I can tell them like what's going on or like you know.
This is a cute one. This is me um I dyed a little strip of my hair right here as my act of rebellion freshman year of high school. I love it. >> This is cute. This is cute. >> I knew you would love it. Okay, thank you. >> I'm going to keep it forever. >> Maestro, maestro. >> Just sign right here. >> Okay. >> Right here? >> Sure. Sure you want to sign it? >> Sure you want >> Beautiful. Oh my god. How did you even find that? >> I didn't do anything. >> It's from Okay. >> Okay. >> From 2012. >> Okay. >> 2012. >> Okay, 2012. Almost senior year then? >> This was sophomore year prom. >> Wow, so beautiful. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. How are you? >> What are we doing? >> I just need you to sign something for me.
We need to use $350,000 our capital improvement money to make up the difference in order to, uh, avoid the bid. Uh, so once the committee approves the lowest bid, if it's the lowest bidder, um, and approves the use of the 350 from capital improvement and can sign a contract with project. We used 335. >> Oh, 335. Right. >> Not 350. >> 335. >> Am I right? >> Yeah. 335. Round 350. The numbers here. That's good. 335,000. And they um in order to uh offset the cost. >> Just so you know, the capital improvement committee did okay. this uh to bring for for a vote. Can I get a motion for that uh final figure of 335, please? >> Make a motion for you take a vote on that chair, please. >> Discussion discussion. um for the uh the program is the purpose of doing this to expand the program or just to make more room make more space because it's crowded in there.
>> The intention of this program in our office, this makes a perfect square. We're going to observe >> different variables in action. >> That was not a question. So our students then have to solve for that and figure out why the variables are impacting its movement through the different challenges that they go through. So last year you heard from us regarding the grade four aggra science unit and last year Steph and I pushed into classrooms to run this program in all grade four and grade five uh classrooms. We have then critiqued and changed the curriculum a little so teachers can now run this in their own classrooms with their own students. So, one of the workshops that we led teachers through was how to change instructional strategies and also how to implement a lot of these hands-on activities. So, I want to take a moment to walk you through what the storyline process looks like in the aggra science unit.
After a thorough review of the students academic transcripts, community leadership involvement, and personal statements, the Poente Project statewide office recognized five students from AUHSD. Um, and as if I call up the students, if they can please come forward. We have Uber Magnala Pina from Anaheim High School. We have Siri Hernandez Santos from Catella High School. We have Pearl Ta from Laura High School. >> Mia Garcia for Magnolia High School. Karen Martinez Aguilar from Savannah High SCHOOL and Puja Amir from Western High School. >> Congratulations to you all. Thanksgiving. Just kidding. >> That's Brian. >> I would now like to recognize um some folks in the room. We have uh Mr. Nish Patel, city of La Palama mayor. Thank you for being here. We have Jeff Morgensston, ASA president. Um, he might be in the other, he might be in the lobby. Heather Hutner, president of CSEA.
Each part of our menu is designed to build culture, connection, and community. Now, I'm going to share about ASB at Rio. ASB is all about leadership, service, school spirit, and student voice. As student leaders, we help plan events, support our school community, and make sure students feel included and heard. Service is important to us, whether that's through kindness activities, helping at events, or supporting schoolwide programs. We also work hard to build school spirit by creating fun experiences that bring students together. Most importantly, ASB gives students a voice. We listen to ideas, share feedback, and help turn those ideas into action. Some of our chef specials include spirit days, assemblies, family events, and student led activities. Let's talk about our tasty side dishes that make a difference. Our ELO programs give students hand-on learning opportunities that go beyond the regular school day. These programs encourage creativity, teamwork, and student choice, so students can explore what they're interested in and try something new.
Um you talk about performing um rally in the valley. That would be Clear Water's first time competing um in cheer. Um how did that go? And kind of tell us like kind of that like how that day went for you. Um and I mean I do know well you guys got uh the highest right the highest >> reward. I don't know how what they call it but >> Superior. You guys got superior. Uh so kind of how how did that day go? Like what was the day in the life of that one? >> Um definitely woke up very nervous. I mean, first time in Clear Water history like doing anything like that. So, being getting to be a part of it was just like nerve-wracking, but it was so much fun. Just like waking up knowing that you're going to do something big and be a part of history like really it was really fun.
>> Oh. >> Hall pass. >> And then can you look at the back when you get the chance? >> Don't you ever call me >> Where did you find this card? >> I do. Where did this come from? >> What a great picture. >> Look how skinny and tan. Look at this metallic makeup. How long ago is that? About 25, 20 years ago? >> Can I ask just like where did one acquire this? >> We don't know. >> We will never know. >> Ma'am, now what are you doing today? >> Good. >> Can you do me a favor, can you like just sign right here? Whenever you're ready, you look at the back. There's something else there for you to sign. Not right now, you can just sign the front first. Thanks so much, ma'am. Now on your cue we flip over the back whenever >> Wait, can you write Benjamin again?
Kids are really too close. It's too much equipment in there. So, in order to get more space in there, that's what the addition is going to allow us to move the freshman program into this addition. It's not a huge addition, but it's going to allow us to put the freshman program in there and then open up a lot of space in the upper class part. And where is this additional? >> It's going when you look at when you come up to the right side of the school up there and you look where auto body is. Do you know where is >> if you look at between the two garage doors going in between garage doors? >> Okay. And so within this contract to do that um part of expanding the building will include the equipment with it or is this just to pack? >> So the in the build in the space itself we don't need any equipment.
So, one of the first investigations that students take part in is observing sandpaper. I only have three pieces, so not everyone is going to get this opportunity. Uh, and they look at the sandpaper through the lens of the magnifying glass. Some of you may see that you can see the particles on your sandpaper. Some of you will not be able to find those particles. And that is an observation we want students to have is that sometimes there's particles that are large enough to see while other times they're not large enough. And so, thank you. This leads to the idea of particle size in soil. is if there's different particles in sandpaper, can that relate to the particles in soil? And so they then they then investigate three different soil types. Lo, which is your traditional dirt, clay, and sand. They mix it together in water and shake it all up, and then they let it settle.
Lacy Munger, APGA co-president. Jennifer Sasai, Alta, President Lauren Claxer from Fullerton Unified School District. And I believe that's it. It's moving on to our 8.1 student representative report. Leah, hello again everyone. So today we're starting with Cambridge Virtual Academy. And at Cambridge Virtual Academy, we had a very, very fun field trip to the Crystal Cove. And at Crystal Cove in Newport, they were able to explore marine life by rotating through hands-on stations where they collected fun things like plankton and recorded data through microscopes and examined the organisms. They also had a fun social called the event movie night trivia, which they were able to bond. And they also had the control altdelete spirit week. And that's a very fun play on words where they got to show their school spirit. Next, at Cypress High School, Cypress High School successfully hosted and celebrated social justice day with hundreds of students exercising their social justice through so speeches, presentations, performances, and more.
Now, we're serving our tasting menu, just a few examples of our Elo clubs. Charlmix Adventures give students the chance to explore the outdoors and stay active. Flavor Labs allows students to experiment, create, and learn hands on activities. Made to order creations is where students design and create using tools like 3D printing and brain bites supports students by giving them time and help to complete homework and build academic skills. These side dishes may seem small but they make a big difference for our students. Have an have an adventurous appetite? This is this hiking club is for you. This club gives students the opportunity to explore the outdoors, stay active, and work together as a team. Students love being outside, trying new trails, and spending time with friends in a positive environment. Tramix Adventures has been a great way to promote wellness, teamwork, and confidence for our students.
But um yeah, I just like I really just think that it was a new experience and just something fun to learn and I hope something that they continue on >> like throughout the rest of the cheer >> career at Clear Water. >> Mhm. Um definitely since it was something we've never done before, there were a lot of unknowns and like hills to get over um regarding just like the flow of the performance and we didn't know that we were supposed to do a cheer right before it. So we got counted off for that. But >> um yeah, I'd say it went well. There's obviously a lot of nerves that come with performing in front of people, but yeah, it went good and I'm excited to see what they can do in the future. >> Mhm. It was definitely more of a mental like challenge against our own team.
Oh god. That's old. >> What does it mean? What does it mean to sign it? >> Where did you even find this? >> Facebook Marketplace. >> Marketplace? Mr. Kaminski. >> Mr. Kaminski, how are we doing today? All right, what we got? >> Can you sign this? You have to sign the front and then the back. >> What is it? >> Well, I mean you can just press it up here, you know, just sign You can sign the bottom. Look at the back whenever you're ready. >> Is that truly how you spend your Saturday nights? >> Yeah, that is. That's what I do. >> I think it's great. With the harmonica and everything. >> I did that in >> A man of many talents. >> College. Morning. >> I need you to sign something for me cuz I'm like a little actually tardy today. >> Me?
Originally when we designed it we would put a new spray booth in that equipment and take get more space in the existing shop but because of the cost we wanted to reduce the cost. It would have been more costly to do that. uh we decided to take one of the uh spray booth that's in there now, remove it and put the new one in its place because that way we didn't have to replace all the mechanicals. So that saved us about $200,000 and because we didn't get what we wanted in the grand uh made it more doable. >> Uh so that's what we ended up doing and in some ways I think it's better because it gets the freshman out of the space of the classroom. >> Thank you. Um last question. Um, when was uh bid posted for the auto body edition? >> That was posted I'm going to say about probably five to six weeks ago.
In the first picture here, you will see them making observations of their soil shake. So here students are developing and using models to further their understanding. So you can probably see even from the back here uh feel free to pass that. Um is it all the same throughout? No. We see distinct layers. And so students determine through this model that not all soils created equal and that particle size might be playing a a variable in why the soil settled the way that it did. This leads to them asking questions about, well, how else is soil interacting with water, which has them move on to another experiment where they test how fast water flows through soil and how much water gets through the soil. So, they would have a cup with holes that is propped up. They pour water in. So, you'll see in this picture, they're taking the time it takes for that water to flow.
Board members, community members, and the Orange County Superintendent, Dr. Stefan Bean, came out to support this annual event. They also had the Stop Hunger Foundation youth grant come and help them and they were able to celebrate students and teachers and work together to support that. Next, at Gilbert High School. At Gilbert High School, they had their 8th annual hunger drive. In this way, they were able to bring their community together to support and bring awareness to people struggling. They were also able to have the opportunity reading at Madison Elementary and work with students to make them feel special. They also had soccer games and an esports team compete this week. Next, at John F. Kennedy High School, they had a choir show and a very amazing choir show. May I say this month, Kennedy at the academic datathalone team consisting of 14 members participated in a 1920s themed competition.
Interested in building on your baking skills? Our flavors are coming together through our cooking and baking club. This is one of our most popular ELO programs because students get hands-on experience while learning real life skills. Students practice following directions, working as a team, and building independence, and they're always excited to see what they create. Labor Lab is a student favorite and a great example of learning that's both fun and meaningful. Supporting students beyond the classroom is our LEAP program. LEAP provides students with a supportive space to grow academically and socially during extended learning time. It helps students build confidence, stay engaged, and feel successful beyond the regular school day. Programs like LEAP show how Elop supports the whole child, not just academics. More the made to order kind of person? Then take a look at our unique 3D printing club. Here, students design and create 3D printed items with a purpose, not just for fun.
So like we we're competing against ourselves like to be the best that we can be versus against other people to earn our highest rating. >> Yeah. Uh I was there firstand uh supporting my girlfriend and it was pretty great to watch. Um honestly pretty entertaining. Uh I enjoyed it. I think you guys did really well and definitely think you earned that uh superior. Um >> thank you. and uh being seniors um and doing cheer for a long time and enjoying it and being in that captain leader role like is there any chance you'll be doing it in the future or have you kind of closed that chapter of cheer after this season? >> Me personally, I really would love to cheer in college. I'm definitely keeping my options open right now, but it's not I'm not like definite on where I want to go. But if it's something that I can do in the future, I would love to continue doing it.
