Avery, CA...On Wednesday evening the VUSD board meeting was filled to overflowing. The VUSD classified employees are seeking to receive what they perceive as a long overdue pay raise and also the recognition of their contributions to the VUSD Students. Enclosed on the second page is the entire letter that was submitted to the board and read at the meeting. Also at the meeting Board Chair Ralph Emerson addressed the disruption that was caused by one of the board members before the Easter break at Michelson Elementary.

Young Computer Builder Raises Money for Mind Matters |
|
Posted by: Andy_Johnson on 04/24/2014 11:51 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA ... A hand-made computer, created by Nicholas Tribble, 18, a senior at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, has resulted in a $2,000 gift to Mind Matters, the Murphys based clinic that treats autism and related disorders. When faced with the need to select a senior project, Tribble decided to use his interest in computers to create a unit from scratch and house it in a custom crafted case. To finance his project he created a raffle in which the winner would be given the computer, his expenses would be met, and the remainder of the money donated to Mind Matters. At ten dollars a chance, he was able to raise more than $3,200. The lucky winner is Judy Matson, Director of Music Ministries at Foothill Community Church, which Tribble and his family attend. Matson plans on using the computer at the church, replacing a very old model she had in her office. She will receive her unit after April 28, the day the students must present their projects to the school and the general public. “We are very proud of Nicholas and his accomplishments,” says Dr. Ryan Thompson, the founder of Mind Matters and its current Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director. “We will put his generous donation to good use in our Fast ForWord program, a computer centered learning lab.”
