2006 Yearbook.

Breaking The .Ice
It's a theme that didn't come easily to the Yearbook Staff. Breaking the ice. It is something hard for everyone. A new school with new people, and many obstacles to face before developing friendships. Everyone is different, some are shy, some are not, but all of us have the same problem how to break the ice.

Chilling With The Campus Supervisors

Q: What is the funniest thing you've seen while working at Placerita? A: One of the funniest things I've seen was last year when a young man tried to hop over the gate, which was unlocked, and got stuck upside down by his shoelaces. Joe came and we got him down. The funny part was me running.

Q: What is the best or most interesting part about this job?
A: The best part of the job is interacting with the students because of all the different personalities and fun things they do.

Q: What is the funniest thing you've seen while working at Placerita? A: One of the students was pounding his watch with a pen. So I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Breaking my pen."

Ivy Ransom
Q: What is the best or most interesting thing about this job?
A: Watching the children ending elementary school and mature into young adults.

Taylor Arnone performed a very funny comedy act (top left hand corner). Austin Kowalczyk had the time of his life playing his guitar and singing Time of Your Life (top right hand corner). Caitlin Rudd sang her heart out to The Wizard and I (bottom left hand corner). Corrine Johnson and Alex Dominquez fought to be the best singing Anything You Can Do (bottom right hand corner). Miky Tayoba and Everett Bichara danced to Any Way You Want It (middle left hand). Spencer Garmen did a great job as Napolean Dynamite and rocked out towards the end of the show (middle right) . This was an outstanding talent show, congratulations to all performers and Mrs. Kennedy, who made the talent show possible.
