(Washington, D.C.) On Saturday, October 12, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano hosted a military academy info session at Southeast Academy High School in Norwalk to give students, parents, and educators a chance to learn more about educational opportunities in our nation’s military academies.
“Military service academies provide a path to higher education and leadership training for young people who wish to serve their country,” Napolitano said. “These students are the boldest and brightest, and I hope to directly assist you in pursuing your dream of attending the academy of your choice.”
(Washington, DC) Throughout the month of May, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano held five free, public mental health workshops in her district to help reduce stigma and raise awareness as part of National May Mental Health Awareness Month. The events were organized with the assistance of the 38th District Mental Health Consortium, a group of local experts, activists, and physicians who work to improve local mental health services and advise Napolitano on mental health.
This month, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano’s 38th District Mental Health Consortium held 3 free mental health workshops in East Los Angeles, Pomona, and Rio Hondo College as part of National Mental Health Awareness Month. The workshops educated the public about the warning signs of mental health issues, connected people with available mental health resources, and encouraged them not to allow stigma to prevent them from seeking help. Next week, 2 more workshops will be held in Norwalk and Hacienda Heights.
(Santa Fe Springs, CA) On Saturday, May 7, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano honored 21 women who had been nominated by volunteer organizations for exemplary service as the 2011 “Women of the Year” at a ceremony at Santa Fe Springs Town Center Hall in Santa Fe Springs.
(Washington D.C.)- On Saturday, April 9, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano held a ceremony honoring the winners of the 2011 38th Congressional District Art Contest, “An Artistic Discovery,” at the Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights.
Napolitano was not able to attend the ceremony because of voting in Washington, D.C., but she was able to view the works of art and sent her congratulations to the young art students in the competition.
(Washington D.C.)- On Tuesday, March 1, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano was honored by the National Guard Youth Foundation for her strong support and advocacy for the Youth ChalleNGe Program in her area and in the halls of Congress.
“To date, Youth ChalleNGe has graduated 104,000 cadets,” Napolitano said. “These are students who might otherwise have dropped out of school but instead were supported as they charted a newer, brighter path through life. It has been an honor to assist this program and its exemplary efforts to help our young people, our future leaders.”
