Department of Motor Vehicles

Late night, last place for the day the Department of Motor Vehicles. I start to understand the "east side" people around me were talking about...... because in the Evergreen area I can't really feel the "east side" kind of feel. But during this scavenger hunt, I think I now understand how they feel...... and I think that's the most valuable lesson I learned via the hunt. (迷之聲: 你學的還真少......)

DMV is a state-level government agency that handles vehicle registration and driver licensing, "DMV" is not used in every state but this term is universally understood particularly in the context of driver's license issuance and renewal. 

Meet with Vito Chiala - Principal of William C. Overfelt High School

Because it's a Thursday night and there are presentations and tests Friday, James and I didn't have the time to wait till the meeting is over. We met with Mr. Vito Chiala the Principal of William C. Overfelt High School, he's a really kind person and told us the meeting will go on maybe to 10 or 11pm and where the agenda was. After a short talk with him we took a picture with him and he went back in to grab his card for us, saying that even though we couldn't meet with the school board members we can still tell our teacher we met a principal. 感動落淚, 天下竟然有這麼好的人>< (擦淚


ESUHSD Annual Organization & Regular Meeting

After taking the picture with the sign of the school board, we went in and take a picture with the meeting. Surprising not a lot of people in the meeting and it's cool to see some student representatives speak to the school board.

I creeped in the meeting and grab an agenda out, it was a really really LONG meeting, it starts from 4pm and it was still going when the time we left which was 9:30pm. The meeting was basically about approving and discussing millions of stuff, nominations and elections for the next term of school board members.


East Side Union High School District School Board

Three days before the dead line of the scavenger hunt James and I meet up at 7pm to finish it, Where's Matthew? Apparently he got lucky, he met two representatives and was at an event by accident before we met up that afternoon.

The last time I had been here was two years ago with my mother, there were some problems with the transfer to Evergreen Valley High School. Because we are the "east side" I believe...... this places is in the middle of nowhere. Actually I was pretty surprised to see there were lights for the sign of the school board...... 我不是故意的......

The ESUHSD administrates 18 high schools with a combined enrollment of approximately 24,500 students in the area of San Jose. The schools include 11 comprehensive or traditional and 7 alternative high school programs. It's the School Board Evergreen Valley HS is in.
