ELEMENTARY AWARDED GRANT DURING MATH, SCIENCE & MOVIE NIGHT

Dozens of Pantera Elementary School students and their parents recently attended the school’s Math, Science and Movie Night, where they learned about the new math standards, explored robotics, watched a movie under the stars and had a surprise awaiting them.

During the jam-packed event, which was hosted by the Diamond Bar school’s Parent Teacher Organization, Principal Todd Riffell was presented with a $12,000 grant check from Darryl Montgomery, Wells Fargo president for the Eastern Gateway of Southern California. The money will go toward a new copy machine.

“This grant is a result of the great collaborative efforts among the parents and teachers at Pantera Elementary,” said Pomona Board of Education President Frank Guzman. “I congratulate them on their foresight to seek out what resources are available to support and enhance their school.”

As part of the event, guest speakers from Diamond Ranch High School presented their robotics program, and Ganesha High School students held a science exhibit in the quad area, where young learners participated in hands-on experiments and learned about the programs at each school.

Additionally, math specialist Grace Greenleaf presented parents with information on the Math Common Core State Standards. Greenleaf encouraged parents to look for teachable moments, actively engage their children and help them computation.
