Dolores Huerta's birthday at McCallum HS

Tami and I made a spring semester visit to McCallum HS and really enjoyed talking with students, faculty, one of the police officers and school staff persons who stopped by the table.  Many told us that they were glad to see us because Navy recruiters had been tabling in the same spot yesterday.  As always, students were very imaginative with the art materials and helped prove our point:  peace is creative!

One of our stickers features Dolores Huerta holding a "Huelga!" sign and the words, "La Paz Requiere Coraje"  (Peace Takes Courage).  It was good to learn that today happens to be Dolores Huerta's 83rd birthday.  It's also a national day of action for immigration reform.  Si se puede!

We were set up across the hall from a table where students were selling tickets for this coffeehouse event, which is a fundraiser for the student literary journal, Excalibur.  Nice!

It was good to learn about the Excalibur journal

The talented student who did this carried her art supplies -- brushes and water colors -- with her.
