An Act of Goodness...
Sharing a great story! Two Bonita Vista High School students found $180 at Southwestern college this past week at the bus stop. They went into the SWC main office to report it. SWC Police Officer Adam Cato verified these students turned over $180 that they found. Wow! What a great story about the integrity of our Barons. We don’t always get to hear the day-to-day acts of goodness displayed by students, staff or community! We are very proud of our students!
