Neighborhood Crime Watch Meeting at Zan Wesley Holmes Jr. Middle School

Neighbors in the Encino Hills Community meet each month to discuss school and community safety and protection at a Neighborhood Watch meeting.

Zan Wesley Holmes, Jr. Middle School is their meeting site at 7:00 p.m. every second Wednesday. Homeowners are welcome and encouraged to gather at the school, which is regularly a center for community activities.

This evening, parents, students and community members learned valuable safety tips and received reports about neighborhood happenings.

It was good community meeting.

Thanks to Encino Neighborhood Association and Neighborhood Watch President Joel Campos for an informative meeting.

Barbara Moham is Principal of Zan Wesley Holmes, Jr. Middle School.

A Teacher's Creed

"In the classroom on the first day of a new school year, I am eager to meet my students. I have rehearsed my greeting and first day’s remarks, but no matter how many years I’ve prepared for this procedure, it’s always new. My heart pumps a bit harder, faster; I feel adrenaline like an athlete, or like an actor, or maybe like a novice public speaker. It’s a marvelous feeling, this first day, because I know that something special is going to happen, and I know it because I’ve experienced it before and I know that I will experience it every time I meet a new class throughout my venerable career. And then they’re seated before me and I smile at this special feeling. This is an assembly of students, yes. But there’s so much more, because each of these young persons is more than just a student entrusted to me. Each of these students has a story to tell, a lifetime, however brief, of experiences, a history in volumes whose richness and depth I can barely begin to fathom. And so as I absorb the first glimpse of these young charges, I must appreciate the extent of my responsibility, of the privilege I’ve accepted in presenting these young souls my special knowledge. In offering them my talent and passion, I am adding an enormous array of new bright stars to the vast firmament of their minds, stars that will never have time to fade in their lifetimes. I will be part of their story. And I know that each of them will always be part of mine. And that’s a good feeling, a feeling that is perpetually renewed, revisited, and rewritten in A Teacher’s Creed."
