Student of the Month for October -- Ponderosa High  School
We are thrilled to start up the Student of the Month program again by honoring Grace Liberati as the Student of the Month (October) for Ponderosa High School.  Grace joined us at our October 8 Zoom meeting, along with her parents Jon and Sandra Liberati and her math teacher Neal Rosengren.
 
Grace has served the Ponderosa community in a variety of roles, including as an English tutor, on Student Council, Ponderosa Activity Cabinet, Ponderosa Athletic Council, Link Crew, and as an officer in DECA.  She is a member of the National Honor Society and the National English Honors Society. She has also been on the varsity tennis team throughout her high school career and serves as the manager of the boys’ tennis team. 
 
Grace has applied to a variety of colleges and is considering majors in criminology, political science and journalism.  Congratulations, Grace!  We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Care to Hear Program is Now Available

Hearing Associates created the Care to Hear program to help those in need of hearing healthcare who cannot afford it obtain the help they need. Care to Hear was founded to diagnose and treat those with hearing loss and limited resources so that they can improve their quality of life, relationships, and ability to seek and maintain employment. If you believe that someone you know may benefit from our Care to Hear program, contact John Molina (jmolinahearingdoc@gmail.com) and Hearing Associates today.
