TVUSD COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Check out this exciting recap of this year's Battle of the Burgers, held at Pechanga Resort Casino on Saturday, October 12th! This sizzling competition brought together some of the Valley's top restaurants to compete for the title of Best Burger, judged by both a panel of experts and local burger enthusiasts.

But it wasn’t just about burgers! TVUSD CTE culinary arts students had a unique opportunity to participate in the Best Loaded Fries contest. Students collaborated with Pechanga chefs to design their loaded fries creation, from concept to delicious final product.

All proceeds from the event benefit TVUSD's CTE Culinary Arts program, helping to equip students with real-world skills and industry knowledge for their future careers. Dive into the action and witness the passion, creativity, and teamwork that makes this event a true community favorite!

Before the battle began, nearly 70 high school students aspiring to careers in hospitality and culinary arts were given a unique opportunity that could shape their future. On a special field trip to Pechanga Resort Casino, they toured the state-of-the-art kitchens and collaborated with professional chefs to create their own "loaded fries" recipes. In this video, created by Pechanga Resort Casino, hear from one of the students as they share their passion and dreams for a future in the culinary industry.

Every year, we ask our TVUSD families to complete a brief survey. The survey, which will run from October 16th through November 1st, assists the Governing Board and District as we strive to continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of all our learners, and prepare students for college and career readiness.

This week's Staff High Five is Jonathan Ramirez, CHS Band Teacher. "Seeing him guide our students to success with love and discipline in his second year at our site is exciting. Under his direction this year, PSEG has added 50 new members, moved up a division, and invited our feeder middle schools to play at our last football game. " @tvusd.parentcenter
