Through Pawsitive Readers, children read aloud to shelter pets at the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter, building confidence and strengthening literacy in a calm, encouraging setting. While young readers practice and grow, the animals benefit from soothing interaction and meaningful social time. It offers a warm opportunity for kids to improve their skills while providing comfort to the pets in the shelter.

Bloomington High School’s girls volleyball program launches its season with a home opener at the school gym, guided by a new coaching staff committed to reshaping team culture. The organizers ask neighbors, businesses, alumni, parents, and other community members to help create a high energy celebration that shows the athletes they are seen, supported, and valued. Requested contributions include donated balloon decor for the entrance and court, music or DJ services to energize the crowd, and photo or video coverage to preserve the memories. Filling the stands with loud, positive support is a priority as well. The initiative seeks to build pride for Bloomington High within the Colton Joint Unified School District, where programs have felt overlooked compared with schools like Colton High and Grand Terrace. Those able to help can connect with Head Volleyball Coach Karla Canez.
