Friends and relatives of the late Laura Rodriguez joined school district officials on July 26 to break ground on the school named in her honor. Rodriguez, who died in 1994, founded Chicano Park and Logan Heights Family Health Center. She was named one of the One Thousand Points of Light by President Bush in 1991. Her legacy is also honored in a mural in Chicano Park painted by artist Mario Torrero. In 2003, more than 100 community members suggested that a new elementary school in Barrio Logan be named for Laura Rodriguez. During the groundbreaking ceremony, the audience was treated to a special song written and performed by local folk singer Jose “Pepe” Villarino. He titled it “Laura Rodriguez: Light of the Barrio.” Laura Rodriguez Elementary School, located at 825 S. 31st Street, is one of eight new Prop MM-funded schools now under construction throughout the district. It is scheduled to open in fall 2007 and will serve 650 students of Barrio Logan, helping reduce crowding at nearby Logan and Perkins elementary schools.

Monroe Clark Middle School sixth graders got a lively introduction to ˇCARNAVAL! at the Mingei International Museum of Folk Arts in July. Brought to the museum by ArtsBusXpress, the students toured the Carnival Exhibit and then made their own Carnival masks to wear as part of a giant puppet parade planned at their school. Excited students donned their masks to march with their puppets from Clark Middle to Rosa Parks Elementary in a community-building celebration to welcome graduating 5th graders to their new school.
