Two Devoted Working Teams K eep our campus clean stated a sign .on the Common ' s wall. The school year of ' 86- ' 87 was aiming to keep students from littering on the school grounds. In their effort to keep the cam- pus clean, the custodians asked for help from students as well as teachers. It was to be a joint effort to strive for clean and neat sur- roundings. It wasn ' t only the custodians who worked hard. The cafeteria workers saw to it that students would never go hungry. Some might think that the last place students would want to eat would be the cafeteria, but, come on, it wasn ' t that bad!! Before school, at break time, and at lunch, students piled into the cafe- teria to purchase anything from juice to cookies. Sometimes the cafeteria was a place of frustration because of the amount of people seeking one thing: FOOD; but at other times the cafeteria seemed like a second home to the many students that had 25C for a piece of coffee cake at break time. The custodians and the cafeteria workers worked very hard through out the year. Estancia was privi- leged to have had two devoted working teams. Custodians And Cafeteria 223

Learning a New Skill ESL- English as a Second Lan- guage, is a fairly new pro- gram for the growing lan- guage minority student popula- tion, Mr. Juarez said. ESL, a shel- tered English skills development class, had three different levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Ad- vanced. Additional classes were offered at Adams School, where students spent the first four periods study- ing English and then came back to Estancia for their remaining per- iods. Migrant Education is a program that helps students who have a mi- grant life style and that move from city to city. Mr. Valenzuela said, It ' s to help them close the gap. The program served 480 Mew- port-Mesa students. Services were limited to students whose parents or guardians have worked in agri- culture or fishing in the U.S. and have made at least one move. What was the difference between ESL and Migrant Education? Mr. Valenzuela said, ESL is English as a Second Language, whereas in Migrant Education we teach differ- ent courses, such as math, sci- ence, and history. These two progr ams, ESL and Migrant Education, were important to Estancia. The determined, hard working students were excited to learn English skills and American culture. Maria Diaz said, 1 like learning English for in the future I want to get a job. Ati ' ' ' ' fc».
