Each week, the Temple City Kiwanis Club
recognizes outstanding students and their
teachers from Cloverly, Emperor, Longden and
the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center.
Kiwanis treats students and their teacher
to lunch. Students receive a certificate, a letter
for their parents, a bumper sticker, a gift certificate
from The Hat restaurant and a photograph
of them receiving their award. Their
photo is also published in Temple City Life and
displayed in the Temple City Unified School
District lobby.
The Temple City Kiwanis has been serving
the community since 1939. Members are dedicated
men and women who desire to make a
difference in the quality of life for the youth of
Longden Elementary School
The Kiwanis Club of Temple City honored
Aziel Delgado, Stephanie Shih and
Julia Cheng, three outstanding students
from Longden Elementary School on
May 24. Attending with the students was
Asst. Principal Robert Westgate.
Aziel is 11 years old and in Ms.
Jennings’ class. He enjoys reading and
studying. Aziel said, “The best things
about Longden are that you can wear
anything appropriate for school, the fun
projects, and books.” If he could change
one thing, it would be to have a bigger
house. Personal goals are to rebuild the
Twin Towers, go to college, become good
at Math, and have a good job.
Stephanie is 11 years old and in Mrs.
Korsavong-Yi’s class. She has a younger
sister and enjoys drawing, singing, dancing,
photography, swimming, and ice
skating. Stephanie said, “The best things
about Longden are the big campus, the
Oak Ave. Intermediate School

Legrand and Vivian Song, two outstanding students from
Oak Avenue Intermediate School on May 31, 2011. Pictured
with the proud students is 8 th grade teacher, Marta
Bourjeili.
Jacob is 13 years old and in Mr. Loyal Perry’s class.
He has a brother and sister and enjoys art and playing
baseball. Jacob said, “The best things about Oak Avenue
are the Advanced Art classes taught by Ms. Lee, my
friends, and Ms. Bourjeili, my English teacher.” If he could
build one thing it would be a nice home for homeless
people. Personal goals are to make varsity baseball next
year at the high school, to achieve higher than a 3.5 GPA,
and to become captain on his travel baseball team.
Vivian is 14 years old and in Mr. Loyal Perry’s class.
She has a younger brother and enjoys art, classical guitar,
cross country, biking, classical literature, and movies.
Vivian said, “The best things about Oak Avenue are
the great teachers and staff, the visual arts department,
and the environment.” The best thing that ever happened
was becoming a part of leadership in the L.I.F.E. Club.
She would like to start a worldwide campaign that
spreads love and comfort to people who need assistance.
Personal goals are to build a computer that can cure any
type of disease or disability, to become a better person,
to be a member of the Advanced Art class by her Freshmen
year at TCHS, and she would love to travel the world
for academic learning and experiences.
