Magnolia School District

"As part of the Anaheim Ducks S.C.O.R.E. program, Maxwell School was visited by Ducks TV announcer John Ahlers, Wild Wing, and several other members of the Anaheim Ducks organization.  Mr. Ahlers spoke to the 4th grade students about the importance of teamwork and helping each other to achieve their goals. A signed jersey was presented as a gift to the school. Maxwell appreciates the generosity and support of the Anheim Ducks and their S.C.O.R.E. program!!!"

On December 3, 2011, the Magnolia School District Board Members, Superintendent Dr. Ellen Curtin, and Principals Elizabeth Nordyke and Gregory Merwin accepted the prestigious California School Board Association’s (CSBA) Golden Bell Award.

The Golden Bell recognizes Esther Walter and Robert M. Pyles (RMP) Schools’ outstanding collaboration and partnership with Orange County’s Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership (GRIP). Working closely with GRIP for the past five years, Walter School and RMP have dramatically increased student attendance, energized parental involvement, and, most importantly, prevented countless at-risk students from joining gangs.

With only 50 “Golden Bells” awarded to educational organizations across the state, the Magnolia School District is deeply honored to be one of this year’s recipients.
