We are so very pleased to report that Todd Groves of El Cerrito has been selected to receive the West Contra Costa Public Education Fund (The Ed. Fund) "Distinguished Citizen Award" for his "countless hours" as a volunteer on behalf of students at El Cerrito High School and Portola Middle School. Among other notable contributions to the students, school and community, Todd was instrumental in bringing WriterCoach Connection to the two El Cerrito schools, mobilizing the community to fund and find volunteers for our first program in West Contra Costa County.
Todd will be honored at the Ed Fund Gala on Friday May 18th. Read all about it and/or obtain tickets in the El Cerrito Patch.
Meantime, here's Todd, at our first coach training session in West County, in the library at El Cerrito High School back in 2010. See if you can spot him, in his trademark baseball cap!
