Oh, the Places You'll Go!

This past week students in our Advanced Photography classes and members of our Asian Cultural Appreciation Club went on a field trip to the Huntington Library. Even though it was pouring rain, our students had a great time. They had a private meeting with the Linde B. Lehtinen Senior Curator of Photography. She brought out various photos and books from their archive that guests don't normally get to see. What a great trip!

Mr. Torres is a veteran Northview teacher who teaches Spanish. He has graced us with his kindness and passion for the past 17 years. He enjoys sharing the language and culture with students. He loves to immerse students in the language to allow them to become fluent and knowledgeable.

Mr. Torres is a devout Catholic who attends mass every day. He volunteers much of his time with the church and feels fulfilled helping people who are struggling and in need of support.

It is a testament to who he is as a human. Selfless and compassionate. His bright light radiates. Thank you, Mr.Torres for being such a positive Viking member.
