Week 8–- Perspective

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.
