S
ummer school returned to Baldy View ROP this year
from June 15 to July 23! Students had 10 Career
Technical Education (CTE) courses to choose from that
included Sports Medicine, Pharmacy Clerk, Medical Assistant, and
Healthcare Occupations. For the first time, online CTE courses
were available in the CTC computer lab through Baldy View
ROP’s partnership with Odysseyware. Each course provided the
hands-on education that BVROP courses provide during the
regular school year and completing students earned 10 high school
credits each.
Alta Loma High School Sophomore, Yisrael Holt, enrolled in the
Introduction to 3-D Animation course taught by Instructor Gerald Jo to
help him develop his skills as an animator. Yisrael entered class with a
goal of learning how to upload quality work on video based platforms.
“It was a really nice experience taking this class. I made new friends
right away and that really let me be comfortable and do my best with
my animation,” he said. Sharing what he would tell another student
about ROP, Yisrael added, “You’re going to learn a lot, you’re going to
meet new people, and you’re going to have fun learning. It doesn’t have
to be in animation, either. There are many ROP classes available.”
Students were also provided free snacks during lunch time. Baldy View ROP partnered with
Campfire of Southern California to provide free snacks and looks forward to a continued partnership
for future collaborations.
The Summer School session ended with a visit from California
State Senator, Connie Leyva, who visited several classrooms as she
toured the Career Training Center on Tuesday, July 21 (photos and
story on page 3).

Three Don Lugo High School Alumni, Gabriel
Ramirez, Melissa Flores, and Jasmine Bonsel
each took Instructor Sam Abdelmalek’s Baldy
View ROP Culinary course (now Food
Production and Catering) while in high school.
The course involved a Community Classroom
component at Fazoli’s in Chino Hills. All three
students were hired at Fazoli’s to continue
working as permanent employees.
Jasmine Bonsel currently works as the Assistant
Manager and said about her current position, “We’re
like a family here at Fazloi’s. There are ups and downs
as there are at any job, but it’s always worth it. It’s great
when things run smoothly and the customers are
happy.” Regarding Baldy View ROP, she added, “ROP
is really something high school students should take
advantage of while they can. When you graduate high
school, everything costs money so to be able to take
these courses for free is a great learning experience.”

The Baldy View ROP Commercial Photography course at Etiwanda High covers topics including operation of camera
systems, basic and advanced photographic principles, flash photography, and digital photo editing software such as Photoshop.
“You can talk about taking pictures all day, but the only way to really learn how to do it, is just to do it,” Commercial Photography
Instructor Charles Wolfe said. “If these students are going to be prepared for success, they have to get plenty of trigger time behind a
camera.” In a typical week, students might spend one day in the classroom studying a presentation on photography techniques and
principles, and the rest of the week outside with cameras, practicing what they’ve learned.
The job market continues to grow for photographers, as many professional shooters move towards a mobile, independent operation.
“It’s as easy as getting a camera, a car, and some basic equipment. That’s enough to make photos most consumers will love,” Wolfe
said, “but, that’s only possible when students work to learn how to operate equipment properly and market themselves.”
Three students who took the course during the Spring 2015 semester are currently working in the photography industry now.
Christine Ogden, who graduated from Montclair High School last school year, and Tyler Fewer, who graduated from Etiwanda last
school year, are both working as independent photographers. Etiwanda senior, Stevie Sherwood, has been hired as a model and
lighting assistant for Natalie Ann Photography.
Thank you to Instructor Charles Wolfe and Etiwanda Career Technician, Roberta Brazelton, for sharing this story! Do you have a

Alumni Profile
“ROP provides students an opportunity to explore what it’s like to work in a specific career field. We
get to leave the bubble and experience real-life working conditions with people from various
backgrounds. Secondly, ROP equips students with the skills necessary to apply for jobs. Having
completed an ROP course further enhances the applicant’s profile and provides something interesting
to talk about during interviews.”
Thanakrit Bandasakdi with
Instructor Pat Campbell
- Thanakrit Bandasakdi Airside Operations Department, Suvarnabhumi Airport - Bangkok, Thailand
Thanakrit Bandasakdi attended Claremont High School as a foreign exchange student from Thailand for the 2007-08 school year. He took the
Airport Careers course with Instructor Pat Campbell to better explore the airport industry. Getting to class was not always easy. While his
second host family was able to give him rides to and from the old Ontario Airport terminal where the course still takes place, at first Thanakrit
relied on public transportation to and from class! However, Thanakrit shared that civil aviation has been his passion since he was young, and
the ROP course he took exposed him to the industry in a variety of ways.
“Mrs. Campbell taught from her own experience and gave us our own hands-on experience in the industry. We met airline professionals,
toured the Ontario Airport and its facilities, heard from an American Airline pilot about his career, and even heard from the K-9 police unit. In
the classroom, she is a very entertaining teacher who always kept us interested.”
Thanakrit also learned how to properly write a resume in his course and how to prepare for an interview. He said that four years after he took
the class, he was still using the resume he wrote in Airport Industries as a model for his subsequent resumes.
“It led me to employment in the Airside Operations Department at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand,” he shared.
Today, Thanakrit’s work builds off of much of the work he did as a student in Airport Careers. He assigns check-in counters, allocates baggage
reclaim carousels, and makes flight announcements. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Mahidol University
International College in Thailand is working on his Master’s Degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

Residential and Commercial Construction
The Residential and Commercial Construction course taught by
instructor Steve Perez at Upland High School, gets students
involved in a large-scale construction project from the ground up.
Students begin by learning the basics of construction including
safety and protective gear, how to properly hammer nails, how to
saw wood and gradually learn more complex tasks such as
putting together a structural frame, painting, minor plumbing, and
minor electrical work. The semester long course culminates in the
construction of a single apartment unit.
Ayala High School senior, Ben Kao, who has previously completed
multiple Baldy View ROP courses to explore various career paths,
had a natural interest in construction and enrolled in this course to
explore the industry.
Instructor Perez instructs Rancho Cucamonga sophomore,
Tyrone Pratt, how to properly hammer a nail into a board
“This is a good opportunity to learn about what I want to do in the
future. It’s kind of like a test run for a career, and a one-of-a-kind
experience. This class gets you right into the trade, is really handson, and isn’t your usual classroom environment,” he said.
Mr. Perez shares with his class the opportunities that are available
to them in the construction industry so they are prepared and
knowledgeable about the workforce.
Instructor Steve Perez instructs his class how to properly and
safely use power tools, such as a jig saw
Special thanks to
Utility Worker,
Daniel Castillo,
for his help in
preparing the sign
for display to the
community!
“Look at any bridge, freeway, or structure. These aren’t easy to
build, but with a good attitude students can learn how. Construction
is a trade where employers really want to keep you. They hire
young workers wanting to keep them around for a long time.”
