Today's guest is Christopher Gomez Wong. I invited Chris to be a guest on the podcast because I wanted him to promote Calexico Farmer's market,  Chris has been a huge part of Calexico's Farmers Market since day 1 and he's been doing this as a volunteer for the past 6 years.  This is one of the many things Chris does for our community ... for the youth in our community.  He is also the advisor for the Calexico High School Eco-Garden Club, where he also volunteers his time, Chris shows our students how to grow and maintain a small garden of an assortment of vegetables and spices that are then used by the culinary class at Calexico High.  For his day job Chris works for University of California Cooperative Extension, where he works with groups in our community that fall under the SNAP-Ed program one of the most interesting parts of his job and the part he hope Calexico teachers can take advantage of is where comes in and helps teachers and students work on a small garden, teach them PE activi

Today's guest is Calexico city manager Mr David Dale. This was my first time meeting Mr Dale and to be honest I was kinda nervous. A city manager is a very essential part of our city, I believe that he or she is more important than a city council member or a mayor. He's in charge of making sure that day to day operations of our city are running smoothly and he or she is also in charge of making sure all the policies and regulations our city council pass are implemented efficiently and effectively. Mr Dale has a lot of experience to take on this position but I think Calexico is a different monster and I think so far he's taken the punches well. I can honestly see a brighter future for Calexico at the helm. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jose-alejos3/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jose-alejos3/support

This week high schools across the nation are celebrating inclusive school week. An event held during the first week of December and it celebrates "the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference and other factors. " I sat down with Ms Cami Sturdevant so she can talk to us about the importance of this week and how "Circle of friends" tries to live this on a daily basis. We had some technical difficulties but I hope that you can hear past that and listen to the true message of this episode! If you want to help out the circle of friends you can contact Mrs Sturdevant for more information at cami@cusdk12.org .

Today I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Calexico High School's new athletic director Ms Lorena Rodriguez. I really wanted Lorena to stop by because I feel that an AD is an essential part of our community and mostly our students because we are here to educate them weather it's math, English, science, sportsmanship, responsibility and respect and I feel like Lorena has the background and experience in education and coaching to transmit this to our students and parents alike. A great point that Lorena made was that kids playing sports in high school are "student athletes" and sometimes we leave out the "student" part. I really wanted our community to put a face to our new AD because I feel she can and will do a great job and we need to support her in any way possible!!
