CCAE wishes to congratulate the adult education programs in Glenn County: Glenn Adult Program and Success One Charter, on their 30th anniversary and 10th anniversary respectively. On Tuesday, October 8th current and former students and staff members celebrated together in Orland, California. The theme of the event was “The Past, The Present, The Future”. Speakers included Mr. Ryan Bentz, Superintendent of Glenn County Schools; Ms. Lorena Chavez, Student; and Ms. Linda Riggle, Glenn 2 Greatness Network Chair. Representatives from the offices of Senator Brian Dahle and Assemblymember James Gallagher presented certificates congratulating both programs on their longevity and accomplishments in the community. The highlight of the evening was a video edited by staff to combine excerpts from “California Adult Education: One Hundred Fifty Years” video with the history of adult education in Glenn County. The sense of pride in the programs created to serve the communities of Orland and Willows was evident. At the end of the event participants were invited to write down their hopes for the future of adult education in California on slips of paper which were sealed in a time capsule to be opened in ten years. We look forward to being invited back in ten years to open the time capsule and find out if our predictions for the future of Adult Education in California have been realized!

 Manuela Gonzalez, better known as “Manny,” is amazing! As a Custodian that travels between campuses, she assists CCAE members with staff and student events throughout the year. MCAS recently closed an entire campus for renovation and moved to a different campus nearby. Manny has worked tirelessly throughout the year to assist teachers pack up and move boxes, clean out cabinets, and make the big move. Because of Manny’s leadership and assistance, the move went smoothly and students and staff were welcomed to a new campus on the first day of class.
When asked about her favorite aspects of her job, Manny shared, “Seeing everything that is involved in helping the students, and knowing that CCAE is here to fight for us and keep our programs going.” Manny’s positive energy is a bright spot for students and staff. Beyond her daily tasks of keeping the campuses clean and well maintained, Manny assists CCAE volunteers in preparing for events throughout the year. She shared that being a CCAE member has impacted her career by boosting staff and student morale throughout the year. Manny reflected on one of her favorite experiences, stating “Being witness to all the hard work the students put into learning a new language and finishing all of their credits needed to graduate and seeing them walk is the most awesome thing I get to witness.” MCAS is grateful for Manny and appreciates her positivity, professionalism, and dedication to CCAE.
