Congrats to our December Volunteer of the Month, Angel Chiu! Angel is regularly spotted around campus volunteering in the media center, at Popcorn Wednesdays, and behind the scenes at musical productions. Last month, she spent many hours photographing the 2nd and 4th grade plays and assisting students with their Square One Art projects. We are grateful that Angel shares her creative abilities with our Trailblazers! As volunteer of the month, Angel will receive a reserved parking spot for the month, a vintage DTES t-shirt, and a small token of appreciation of our appreciation. Thank you, Angel!!!📘🍿📸🎨
