Hollingworth Elementary School is teaching students it’s never too soon to start thinking about college.

As part of the “No Excuses University” college-readiness
program, teachers on the campus at 3003 E. Hollingworth St. have each
adopted a college for their classroom to learn about throughout the
year.

Flags of the adopted universities hang in front of the
kindergarten through sixth-grade classrooms, representing the Rowland
Unified students’ spirit of their adopted schools.

Every classroom had a flag to hang, except Cynthia Alvarez’s kindergarten class.

Find out what college the kids adopted in Jessica Donnelly’s story at COLLEGE.
