Briefly in Education

Two Estancia High School students were among the 141 who received

Prudential Spirit of Community Awards on Friday at the Westin South Coast

Plaza.

The students are local honorees in the nation’s largest youth

recognition program based solely on volunteerism.

The Estancia winners were Anh Do and Vanessa Hernandez.

Anh is the president of the Key Club and spent time at Project Cuddle

working with foster children.

Vanessa spent six months in the Republic of Malawi on the African

continent, where she taught English to children twice a week. She also

spent most of her time at the Open Arms Infant Home.
