We bid farewell to the many graduates of Ventura. It is always great to share this event with them. Happily, we have several graduates who will be stopping by, having graduated with media production skills acquired here. Enjoy the summer and send your younger siblings on to CAPS for our youth program. There are a few spaces remaining in the final week.
Of course, we learned a lot at the Knowledge Bowl. It’s the annual event where seniors are pitted against high school seniors from Buena in a test a knowledge. It took place at the Aegis center and is available for viewing on Facebook, Vimeo and You Tube. Spoiler alert – the teams tied. Looking for a rematch next year.
More Ventura Rocks is coming your way. This week is another session with Pam Baumgardner and a great local band. Check out the series everywhere. You will get a taste of the rich and varied music scene right here in Ventura.
