June, 2010
Over 1,000 people were in attendance! It was very moving to hear the speeches but best of all were the comments and awestruck looks from parents and students as they walked around the campus. Can’t wait to post final photography to our website in September and give everyone a closer look at this amazing campus.

The New Mendocino K–8 School:
A Community Dream Realized
Story by Margi Gomez
Contributing editor, Lisa Norman

Here’s a quote from the article the QKA marketing department thoroughly enjoyed: “I think that the new school has a great stage, kitchen, plants, playground, library and classrooms. I think the whole school is awesome. P.S.…It’s totally twenty-first century,” Sofia Seim asserts.

The new Mendocino K-8 campus will be featured on our website in early 2010.

Last July QKA gave Giants tickets to Napa Valley Unified School District. Superintendent John Glaser decided to take two 6th grade boys—who had the time of their lives! Mr. Glaser assures us the ball he caught (thrown between innnings by an outfielder) was given to one of the boys. We can’t think of a better way for these tickets to have been used! Thank you to Mr. Glaser and NVUSD for their permission to post these photos.
