Standing Ovations - Comments
“Javier Ramirez has gone the extra mile to help our Spanish-speaking families feel more included at Nordhoff. He has been a key liaison between our two communities and never hesitates to be a translator and presenter, even though he has other responsibilities at Chaparral High School. It is clearly evident Javier genuinely cares about inclusion and providing the same opportunities for all our OUSD families, regardless of any language differences.”
“Thank you for the much needed school supplies. I was able to pick them up today at school! I appreciate the Family Fund for helping all students in need this year, especially with everything going on this was very much needed and the materials will be very useful in my classes. Again thank you for the work you have done to get these supplies to students in need.
