News Release: Renown Mission Bay High Preservationists Set Fundraiser for New Orleans Performances

NEWS RELEASE from the Mission Bay High School Band Boosters

Contact: Jean-Paul Balmat, Mission Bay High School Music Director

858-273-1313 x113
www.missionbaymusic.com

For Immediate Release, 2/29/2016

Renown Mission Bay High Preservationists Set Fundraiser for New Orleans
Performances

San Diego's Boogie Woogie Queen, Sue Palmer, headlines a March 17 fundraiser
to help the nationally known Mission Bay High School Preservationists jazz
band to raise the remaining $10,000 for its April performances in legendary
Preservation Hall in New Orleans.

The New Orleans performance will allow the Mission Bay students, aged 16-18,
to experience one of jazz's most famous venues, as well as meet and learn
from jazz greats in New Orleans.

"This will be a great experience for our students," said Jean-Paul Balmat,
director of the high school's music program. "There are a relatively few
professional musicians that are able to play at Preservation Hall, much less
students in high school."

The fundraising performance is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 17, at
the Pacific Beach Woman's Club, 1721 Hornblend St, San Diego, CA 92109.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the event. More information at
www.missionbaymusic.com.

The program is sponsored by the Mission Bay Band Boosters, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit that supports the Mission Bay High music programs.

Today's Preservationists continue a tradition of more than 30 years at
Mission Bay High School, a magnet high school in Pacific Beach. Jean-Paul
Balmat, the current music director, is the second former Mission Bay High
music student to return as to his alma mater and teach.

"Our program is nationally known, which sets a very high standard for our
students," said Balmat. "This is the kind of program that motivates kids to
work hard in school, to graduate and continue their education."

Music is a major draw to the school, which uses International Baccalaureate
academic standards. Mission Bay High draws many of its students from
communities outside of the beach areas, with some students spending more
than an hour each day on bus rides to school.

The Preservationists have performed at the Sacramento Music Festival, San
Diego Jazz Festival, House of Blues, Jazz Education Network Conference, KUSI
News, Fox 5 News and KSDS Jazz 88.3-FM.

More than $5,000 for the trip has already been raised for the trip, with
major contributions from the Mission Beach Woman's Club, Pacific Beach
Woman's Club, La Jolla Woman's Club, LSU Alumni Association, America's
Finest City Traditional Jazz Society and the San Diego Jazz Party.

The Preservationists will be performing with San Diego diva Palmer at the
March 17 event. Best known for her beehive-wearing stint with blues diva
Candye Kane in the '90's, Palmer has been making her mark in the last decade
with her high energy band, the Motel Swing Orchestra, and her flashy boogie
woogie stylings.

MEDIA EVENT ADVISORY – AVISO DE PRENSA DE EVENTO

Love of Learning Campaign to Deliver 35,000+ Free Books for San Diego

Special Distribution Event Feb. 24 in Serra Mesa for 35 Nonprofits, Agencies & Schools

WHAT:

The "one-stop" free distribution of more than 35,000 new Disney-themed children's activity books in Spanish to designated nonprofit groups, community agencies and schools across the county that serve low-income, immigrant populations. The effort is part of For the Love of Learning (Por El Amor al Aprendizaje), a regional campaign by The Molina Foundation during February to show children the value of books and promote household literacy.

The distribution ― to take place in and around the old Serra Mesa library building ― will feature a total of 35 organizations stopping by to get their donation of colorful publications, which include titles such as "Tron," "The Incredibles" and "Toy Story."

Among the organizations sending trucks, vans and cars for the pick-up: Cesar Chavez Service Clubs, Jewish Family Service of San Diego, Kiwanis Club of Sweetwater, National City Public Library, North County Community Services, San Diego Unified, SD Council on Literacy and San Ysidro Health Center.

WHEN & WHERE:

Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2016 ― 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

Vehicle Line-Up / Book Distribution / Sample Book Displays / Interview Opportunities with Recipients

(Old) Serra Mesa Branch Library

3440 Sandrock Road (at Hurlbut Street), San Diego 92123

WHY:

There is a growing nationwide "word gap" problem impacting how kids achieve and how families progress. The gap is the dramatic difference in vocabulary levels between economically disadvantaged children and their more affluent peers. By age 4, middle- and upper-income children can hear up to 30 million more words than poorer children. Research also shows that in some low-income neighborhoods there is only one book available on average for every 300 children.

The Molina Foundation, based in Long Beach, CA, is aware that in areas of San Diego County access by households to books and other educational resources is generally scarce. The local visit, which will include "Book Buddies" reading activities at two public schools on Feb. 25, is one of several distribution events the Foundation is sponsoring over the next few weeks for high-need communities around Southern California.

WHO:

For the Love of Learning is presented by The Molina Foundation in close partnership with the San Diego Public Library Foundation. In addition, local employees from Molina Healthcare are scheduled to provide support as part of the company's Volunteer Time Off program, which encourages employees to give back to the community by providing paid time off to do volunteer work with local charity organizations.

BACKGROUND: Mission Bay High School’s tutoring program began with the goal to not only provide academic support across the curriculum, but to provide resources to develop the whole child.  ACES, the After-school Center for Excellence and Support, is a voluntary after school tutoring program that aligns its commitments to the community with the four suits from a deck of cards.  The Ace of Hearts represents a holistic approach to mentoring, providing access to an array of services to benefit social and emotional growth.  The Ace of Clubs represents a club/community effect, providing a consistent place for students to gather to further their education.  The Ace of Diamonds represents a balanced approach to support English/History, Math/Science, Foreign Language/Fine Arts, and Special Populations such as International Baccalaureate, English Learner, or Special Education students.  Finally, the Aces of Spades represents digging deeper, through access to one-on-one instruction with expert teachers.

 

ACES offers helpful reference materials, access to computers, printers, and supplies, free and healthy snacks, college tutoring from SDSU and UCSD students, specialized help for CAHSEE/PSAT/SAT prep, college application counseling, and mentorship for life, college and career.  Currently, about 100 students a day are working at ACES under the direction of a staff of teachers from all content areas  The program’s mantra is “Every student, every time” which refers to the program’s commitment to engage with every one of the 100+ students who enters ACES after school to help them continue their education every single day.

 

The ACES program at Mission Bay High School is supported by the funding from the IMIN After School Program in the San Diego Unified School District.  The MIN brand was developed by student groups who frequented after school activities.  When referencing their after school involvement, they would often times simply say, “I’m in dance” or I’m in robotics”.  The phrase “I’m in” stuck and became the district’s brand for the high school after school program.

 

The IMIN After School Program funding is made possible by the 21^st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) grant.  The ASSETs grant is a state-administered federally grant that provides five-years of funding to establish or expand before-and after-school programs that provide disadvantaged students (particularly students who attend schools in need of improvement) with academic enrichment opportunities and supportive services to help the students meet state and local standards in core content areas.  Each program must consist of three elements:  academic assistance, educational enrichment, and family literacy services.  The grant was awarded to start in July 2014 at sixteen high schools in SDUSD including Mission Bay High, Clairemont High, Hoover High, Kearny Engineering, Innovation & Design, Kearny Digital Media & Design, Kearny Science, Connections & Technology, Lincoln High, Madison High, Morse High, Point Loma High, San Diego High School of Business, San Diego High School of Science Technology, San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, Serra High, and Twain High.

 

The IMIN After School Program in SDUSD is coordinated at twelve different high school campuses by two contractors.  The program at Mission Bay High School is supported by arc.  arc is an after school and experiential education provider.  They create transformational learning opportunities that empower youth to realize their full potential.  arc Co-founder, Brad Lupien, describes what they do at school sites as, "we fill in the gaps to form an arc around, over and as a bridge to their education by offering experience, opportunity, and connection where it did not exist. We build the arc that supports their growth; we help students draw their own arc that leads towards a promising future."  arc coordinates the after school programs at ten high school campuses in the district.  They also coordinate programs in Orange County, Los Angeles and Tennessee.

 

The San Diego Unified IMIN After School Program is coordinated for the district by the Office of College, Career & Technical Education.
