Teaching Staff Celebrating 20th Anniversary at CCP

This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of both David Aliamus, Site Supervisor at Half Moon Bay School-Age Center and Lorena Velazquez, Assistant Director at the Half Moon Bay School-Age Center.  

​They started within a week of one another and in the same classroom!  For many years, Lorena was a lead teacher in our Montara school-age program.  20 years later, they are back together as a team managing the HMB school-age program and Sports Camps in the summer time.

CCP and The Big Lift Literacy Initiative

CCP is part of a national demonstration project, The Big Lift, which is funded by San Mateo County and the Social Innovation Fund at the Corporation for National and Community Service.  The Big Lift leadership team includes Anne Campbell, San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools;  Carole Groom, President of San Mateo County Board of Supervisors; and Erica Wood, Chief Community Impact Officer of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.  We're proud to represent the Coastside community in this program to provide quality early learning experiences that positively effect literacy outcomes through elementary school.

Program Highlights

During this school year, we enhanced our early childhood programs by working with a professional development coach, hiring great new teachers, and implementing Raising A Reader in most of our classrooms.  At our Summer Camps, we're getting great feedback for our new Innovation Station camps where school age kids create and learn through project-based challenges which change throughout the day and are chosen by the campers.
Children in our El Granada and Montara Before/After School Centers created these beautiful canvas paintings to serve as displays at our Dine for CCP fundraiser.  The children, working in groups, planned, sketched and then painted their creations for the event.  Through this fun and creative process, the students learned about giving back to the community and completing a project on time.
We were lucky to receive a donation of bikes and helmets from Odyssey.  The kids were beaming to have these new bikes to zoom about!
