Each year, high school students in the 11th grade participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). While the California Department of Education waived the assessments for all students last year due to COVID -19, the English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics assessments will be given this year remotely to all juniors.

Additionally, current Inspire seniors will be taking the California Science Test (CAST).

Students will be testing in two groups:

• Students in Group 2 will test in ELA on May 5-6 and Math on 12 -13 May @ 1pm
  
• Some students will be in Group 2 for both ELA and Math tests in May. These students have a math and English class for periods 7 and 8.

About Concurrent Enrollment The Concurrent Enrollment Program allows students to enroll in college courses while simultaneously attending their high school (or lower grade) or adult education program. Credits earned through this program may be used to fulfill high school and college certificate, transfer, or graduation requirements.

Who Participates? Any student that is currently enrolled in high school (or lower grade) and/or pursuing a high school diploma or equivalent. This includes students attending noncredit or adult education programs.

Each year on April 19th, National Garlic Day celebrates a vegetable also known as the stinking rose. The fragrant and potent root has been seasoning dishes for thousands of years.

This stinking rose is a member of the lily family. This family also includes onions, leeks, and shallots. While garlic originated in Asia over 7,000 years ago, it is used in a variety of cuisines.

Garlic is quite versatile, too. It is also used for medicinal purposes. The mighty bulb is considered an herbal remedy for colds and may reduce blood pressure and cholesterol. Modern science has also proven garlic’s antibiotic properties.

Myth and superstition reek of garlic. The most familiar one suggests that garlic wards off vampires. This same theory seemed to work on witches, werewolves, demons and other such evils one could come across. Folklore also tells us garlic grew from satan’s left footprint when he left the Garden of Eden; Greek midwives kept evils spirits away with it, and courage filled Roman soldiers who consumed the bulb.

Consider our dreams and garlic, too. Our dreams often have meaning. Dreaming of garlic is no different. To dream about garlic in the house suggests good luck and if the dream includes eating garlic (perhaps in a pesto sauce), there might be hidden secrets. Over 300 varieties of garlic grow around the world to dream about as well!

Gilroy, California claims to be the Garlic Capital of the World. Will Rogers was once quoted as saying it is “…the only place in America where you can marinate a steak just by hanging it out on a clothesline.”
