Principal’s Message— Voting time is here! Help decide the
direction of your child’s school district. In the last local bond measure election, only 37 % of votes were cast by voters under the age of 50. We need our parents’ input. Get informed about Measure A – Clovis Unified’s facilities bond that would provide updates to old schools and construction of new schools to ease overcrowding – and vote by Nov. 3. Learn more: cusd.com/2020bond.
National Chocolate Day 6th grade celebrated by going on a virtual field trip to a chocolate adventure to learn all about chocolate while enjoying their favorite choco-late snack.
Measure A on the November Ballot—FACT: In this election, Clovis Unified has a need-ed facility bond on the ballot that DOES NOT RAISE TAX RATES and allows for HEALTH & SAFETY UPGRADES at every school; MAINTENANCE & UPDATES of ag-
ing schools; and new construction to help protect the quality of our schools and PRESERVE PROPERTY VALUES. Learn more at cusd.com/2020bond.

Celebrations
Around the World Diwali is India’s biggest and most im-
portant holiday. It is celebrated for 5 days
in October or November each year. Di-
wali means “rows of lighted lamps.”
Houses all over India twinkle with tiny
lights from clay lamps called diye. They
often call the celebration the festival of
lights. Homes are cleaned and windows
are opened in the hope that Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth, will visit. During Diwa-
li, gifts are exchanged and feast are pre-
pared. Diwali is as important to Hindus
as Christmas is to the Christians. Diwali
marks the beginning of a new financial
year for businessmen. Old accounts are
settled and new ones are opened.
Filipino American History Month— FAHM is celebrated in the United
States during the month of Octo-
ber. October was chosen to cele-
brate the month to commemorate
the arrival of the first Filipinos
who landed in what is now Morro
Bay, California on October 18,
1587. It is also the birth month of
Filipino American labor leader
Larry Itliong. In California and
Hawaii, where many Filipino
Americans reside, Filipino Ameri-
can History Month is widely cele-
brated. 2006 was a pivotal; year as
it marked the centennial celebra-
tion of Filipino migration to the
United States.
What is Title 1? Title 1 is a federal program
that provides categorical funds to schools with
more than 50% of the student population who
qualifies for free/reduced lunch. The purpose of
the funds is to ensure that all children have a
fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain
a high-quality education and reach proficiency
on state content standards and assessments. All
CUSD schools that are Title 1 are School-Wide
Programs. This is a comprehensive reform strate-
gy designed to upgrade the entire educational
program at Mountain View. ALL students benefit
from Title 1 services, not just those that qualify
for free/reduced lunch.
What are categorical funds? These are
funds allocated based on the number of students
enrolled at MV. Title I funds are used for the
purpose of assisting students in mastering stand-
ards. Funds are also used to assist our parent
community with parent involvement and en-
gagement opportunities.
