We are happy to announce the recipients of this year’s Young Alumni Changemaker Award, Justin Babler-Kuebler ‘21 and Nala Urrutia ‘21. The Young Alumni Changemaker Award began in 2022 to recognize that Live Oak students do not wait to make an impact in their communities. The award honors current high school juniors and seniors who graduated from Live Oak that model empathy and responsibility, demonstrate a capacity to create change in the community, and inspire actions in others. 

This month 3 East students visited 826 Valencia to learn more about the craft of writing and published their own book: Don’t Delete Us. The field trip was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore creative writing, work collaboratively, and grow their confidence in the writing process. While at 826 Valencia, students were supported by writing coaches, a ghost writer, illustrator, and four courageous parent chaperones.
