Our intermediate school is located in the middle of two rival gang territories. Our school is frequently tagged as these gangs mark their territory. Students also come from high poverty areas. Many parents work several jobs simply to make ends meet. Our students achieve despite these hardships. We have been an AVID national demonstration school. Along with our feeder high school, Santiago, we are the only middle and high school AVID demonstration school in Orange County. We have also received the Title One Academic Achievement Award. Garden Grove Unified School District was one of the recipients for the Broad Foundation Award. Despite these awards, there is no funding for my art program. Despite their rough backgrounds, my students attend school every day and care their learning. Art is way for them to express themselves. Through art, they escape their gang neighborhoods. My classroom is a safe haven where turf wars and criminal activity doesn't exist. It allows them to be who they are.
