Cañada Middle College Newsletter
Welcome to Oh Cañada, the student-run newsletter for the Cañada Middle College Program!
Here, we will display student achievements, campus and program news, and other fun aspects of Middle College. We hope to show how to give our readers a glance into what our program is about and provide insight into our students' lives, both inside and outside the classroom. If you are a student, we encourage you to share with us any of your accomplishments, whether it be in sports, arts, classes or anything else you are proud of. Thank you for checking out our newsletter. We hope you enjoy it!
Youth of the Year Award: Maria Casique
Maria received the Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year Award for her community service. As a sophomore, Maria became an intern and was involved in the Oye Conference. The following year, she got involved in outreach for the Boys and Girls club as well. She worked with the Workshop Committee and engaged with local organizations that focus on solving community concerns. She was the vice chair of the Teen Advisory Board and is currently working on a scholarship website for undocumented and documented students. Maria is also working on creating a teen hang out area in downtown Redwood City in conjunction with local developers. In addition, she’s working on three different events, one of which being a movie night in the square for teens. At Sequoia High School, she started a leadership club to provide community-engagement opportunities to students
