At Orange Glen Elementary School on Tuesday, EUSD superintendent Luis Rankins-Ibarra announced an unexpected donation, which not only came as a surprise but was also the largest gift the district ever received.
Once Rankins-Ibarra connected with Scott's representative, he explained some of the work EUSD had been doing to learn more about the needs of the roughly 14,000 students in the district and how to best serve them, but he didn’t think much would come of the conversation.
Rankins-Ibarra said students want to acquire the skills that will help them once they leave the classroom. He mentioned tasks like writing a check, applying for a loan and learning how to cook a meal. While the students at Orange Glen Elementary might be too young to understand the concept of a mortgage, they were quick to chime in with ideas on what to do with the new funds.
Eliezer Olea Dionicio, a fifth-grader at Orange Glen, chimed in with a request that was equally wholesome.
