Dear Palm View Christian School family:
As many of you know, we had attempted to keep the school going by merging with another local Christian school. While that did not happen, it has paved the way for other merger talks.
Life Church, under the leadership of my friend, Don Sanderson, has been asked by our denomination officials to consider merging his congregation onto the Palm View property and becoming the new lead pastor. For those that may remember, Don's youth pastor was our featured graduation speaker 2 years ago. Don has been a chaplain with the Whittier PD since he moved out here from Ohio five years ago. He serves as a sectional presybter and coaches churches through transitions. I see him at community events on a regular basis. Pastor Don Sanderson's capable leadership is what is needed in our church in this season.
For all those that consider Palm View as your first or second home because of the successful 25 year history of our school, I can assure you that Pastor Don and his team will also make you feel welcome.
The church has set aside Sunday, June 27th as the date of the vote affirming a merge. I would ask that all families keep the church in prayer during this time. For those that would like to attend special prayer meetings, please come to the sanctuary on the next two Monday nights.
As that Sunday, June 27th, will be our last day at Palm View as we head to Wichita, KS, we are excited as to the future possibilities that still lay ahead in Whittier.
Sincerely,
Rev. Marvin J. Miller, M.Div
Associate Pastor for Christian Education, Palm View Assembly of God.
Principal, Palm View Christian Schools (PK-8)
The text of the proposed resolution is below.
WHEREAS, the leaders of Palm View Assembly of God, located at 7106 Sorensen Avenue, Whittier, California, and the leaders of Life Church, Whittier, located at 16431 Leffingwell Rd, Whittier, California have entered into discussions regarding a possible merger of the two churches, and,
WHEREAS, these leaders have been in much prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this possible merger, and,
WHEREAS, the leaders of both congregations have agreed to recommend the merger of the two congregations, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the membership of both churches be combined into one membership roster, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the name of the newly merged church be Palm View Assembly of God, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the newly merged church will operate under the current Corporation for Palm View Assembly of God, and the Current Constitution and Bylaws of Palm View Assembly of God, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the current church boards be combined into a single church board (11 total), and that the newly merged church board be authorized to elect its own corporate officers and determine a schedule of rotation for board member elections, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the merger shall become effective immediately upon receiving an affirmative vote of 2/3rds of all members present and voting by both congregations, at a special meeting of each church called for the purpose of voting upon the merger, and after receiving an affirmative vote of the Executive Presbytery of the Southern California District of the Assemblies of God, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the corporate officers of the newly merged congregation be authorized to file the necessary documents related to the merger with the Secretary of State for the State of California.

Youth Music Outreach
Congratulations for another successful semester of music to the following students:
The final end of the year performance at East Whittier Methodist Church on Saturday night was excellent. It was exciting to see how far our beginning band students have come and what they have to look forward to as concert wind ensemble and jazz ensembles brought down the house!
While Palm View is closing, YMO has been part of the Whittier area for over 12 years. It is the only youth music orchestra in the area. I encourage our students to remain a part of the program as long as they can.

Rio Hondo & Natalie
The entire K-8th Grade enjoyed Wendy Velasco, cellist from the Rio Hondo Symphony as she demonstrated different string instruments at Palm View.
Playing a little Haydn and some Brahms, she illustrated the difference between classical and romantic music.
Having some fun with the teachers and students, she played theme songs from current movies. Even though the teachers had first chance to guess the movie, they still lost 5 to 1. Thanks Coach Jer! Otherwise we would have been blanked!
If any student still has a question regarding string instruments, please ask your parents to help you click on this link and email our guest, Wendy Velasco.
On Thursday, our adventure continues as we discover brass instruments!

Fred C Nelles Update
State chooses Brookfield Homes to develop Nelles site in Whittier
By Mike Sprague, Staff Writer Posted: 05/19/2010 04:21:01 PM PDT
Shown is an aerial view of the now-closed Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility. (Photo courtesy state Department of General Services)WHITTIER - The state has chosen Brookfield Homes, a national home developer locally based in Costa Mesa, to develop the 73.8-acre now-closed Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility.
Negotiations between Brookfield and the state still must be completed before a final deal would go to the state Public Works Board for approval, said Eric Lamoureux, spokesman for the state Department of General Services.
"They were the ones who had the best offer for the property," Lamoureux said.
Neither the company nor Lamoureux were willing to provide details about the offer.
The property has been vacant since 2004, when the state closed the 113-year-old prison.
The state earlier this year had selected the development team of Lewis Operating Group of Upland and Shapell Homes of Beverly Hills to develop the property, but negotiations fell apart. Officials from the state and the developers declined to talk about what happened.
Brookfield Homes once partnered with other companies and the city to develop the Nelles site. However, the deal never went through.
"We're hopeful this time that it will end in a purchase and development of the property," said Adrian Foley, president of the Southland division of Brookfield.
The final deal is expected to include a significant downpayment with the final sums coming when the city has approved a project, Foley said.
"We've very excited," Foley said. "It's in a wonderful city and location."
Foley said he expects their proposal for the site to be some kind of mixed-use development of residential, commercial and office space.
Whittier City Council members have said they favor a development alternative calling for 45 percent residential, 35 percent commercial and 20 percent other uses, such as medical offices.
Foley said he is aware of the city's expectations and expects that formula to be used as a base to develop a plan.
Jeff Collier, director of community development, said he's happy that the process is now moving forward. "We want to see the deal consummated so we can see this site put back into productivity," Collier said.
Once Brookfield and the state reach a final deal, the city will begin working with the developer on a plan for the property.
"Once we get that plan, we can kick off the environmental impact report process," Collier said.
He said it could take about a year to 18 months from when the city gets a plan until the Planning Commission would hold hearings.
Brookfield Homes is a publicly traded company with $1 billion in assets that builds about 800 homes a year nationally.
The company also builds about 350 homes annually in the Southern California area, Foley said.
"We are building in Irvine, Anaheim, Ontario, Long Beach and Santa Clarita," he said.

In just one week, on May 21st at 2 PM, all students and parents are invited to the mock wedding of Jeremy and Melissa, produced by the 5th - 8th graders. Since the actual wedding is in July and many of us can not attend, we have decided to celebrate early. Gifts are optional!

Santa Fe Springs Christian School Meeting
The meeting for all interested parents who desire to attend Santa Fe Springs Christian School will be held on Thursday afternoon at 5 PM at the Santa Fe Springs location.
As you recall, an anonymous donor has offered to cover the costs of the 10% discount offered to Palm View students and their families. For more information, you may contact Richard Brown, principal of Santa Fe Springs Christian, or Sean Landeros.

Santa Fe Springs Christian Schools has blessed Palm View Parents
As many of you know, I am only endorsing accredited ACSI K8 schools - Whittier Christian, Santa Fe Springs Christian, and Montebello Christian are the only three schools in this region that meets those requirements. These schools have proved their financial stability through independent auditing practices as a component of accreditation.
Richard Brown, principal of Santa Fe Springs Christian and a long time friend contacted me this afternoon. An anonymous donor has agreed to cover the costs of a 10% discount on all current Palm View students to enroll at Santa Fe Springs for the Fall. God is good!
There will be several stipulations to this offer -- first, families accounts at Palm View must be in good standing. Second, a minimum of ten students must choose to enroll. Most likely, the offer will be such so that after 9 payments are made the final month installment is free. The details of this offer will be presented at a meeting this Thursday night at the Santa Fe Springs campus just off the 605 / 5 interchange at Florence Avenue. Please contact Sean Landeros tomorrow (Wednesday) after school for more information.
My thanks goes out to both Richard Brown of Santa Fe Springs and Mike Ely of Whittier Christian for making quality Christian education available to our Palm View families.

Whittier Christian Schools
Dear parents:
Now that Pastor Tom and the the combined school and church board have issued their final decision about the school year, I am able to announce that Whittier Christian Schools and their superintendent Mike Ely have been very gracious and helpful in our time of transition.
All 1st - 7th grade parents who wish to enroll at Whittier Christian are eligible for a special offer which ends on May 30th. Up to a $800 discount will be given per child. All parents who still believe this is unaffordable for them can also apply for financial aid. It is my belief that a quality affordable education can still be made available to our families.
Whittier Christian is the only ACSI accredited K8 school remaining in Whittier and is the closest to sharing my personnel core values and direction of Christian education. As part of ACSI accreditation, financial records are regularly reviewed for continued viability and sustainability. A school improvement plan is also in place. For those of you interested in learning more about them and the special offer they are making only for current Palm View students, you may do one of three things:
1) Visit the Jr. High Open house tonight (May 7th at 7 PM).
2) Join me in visiting the special Palm View only open house on Monday, May 10th at 7 PM. This open house will be geared to questions that our Palm View family will have at Whittier Christian's Newlin campus.
3) Pick up one of Whittier Christian's brochures available at the Palm View School office.
Of course there are two other quality ACSI accredited K8 schools in our regional area:
Feel free to connect with Richard Brown (Santa Fe Springs) or Ernie Castro (Montebello).
Thank you for allowing me to serve you these past number of years,
Sincerely,
Marvin J. Miller
Principal, Palm View Christian School.

May 7, 2010
Dear Parents,
Last night the School & Church Boards met to make a final decision about the 2010-11 school year here at Palm View Christian School. It is with sad and heavy hearts that we made a unanimous decision that, due to low enrollment, we will be unable to provide 1st grade through 7th grade for next school year.
However, the following classes will be provided at our school:
*Preschool (Mrs. Gloria Sifuentes and staff)
*Kindergarten (Mrs. Sara Santos)
*8th grade (Mrs. Centmeyer)
We want to thank all the parents who made efforts to register for next year. That being said, let me share the following information that you need to be aware of:
1) During the last week the enrollment numbers for next year went from 62 students to 57 students.
2) On Monday, May 10, we will begin the process of returning your registration fees to you.
3) Parents must pay their tuition in a timely manner! The board set policy last night that states:
If a parent does not pay their student's April 30th tuition, by Friday, May 14th at 3:30 PM, the student will not be allowed back into class on Monday, May 17, until payment is received.
4) Let's all agree to finish this school year in a way that is pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Pastor Tom, and the School and Church Boards.

Goodbye Pastor Tom
As many of you may have now heard, Pastor Tom and Debby announced that at the end of the school year, they will be resigning the church and relocating to Springfiled, Missouri. Their last service will be Graduation Sunday, June 13th.
For the past six years, we have had the pleasure to serve with them in the church and school. Our very first Sunday at Palm View was the Sunday he was voted in as pastor. Our last, just as his, will be the 8th grade graduation of 2010. God has larger plans than all of us know.
While this came as a surprise to me, both Teresa and I wish him well in this new transition. As we prepare for our move to Kansas at the end June, we understand what it means to go in a new direction and to walk in faith.
We continue to pray for Palm View and all our students -- past, present, and even future.

What School?
I have been hearing this question a lot lately.. What school should I go to?
FIRST, how about Palm View? A number of parents are still excited about the potential for Palm View continuing next year under new leadership. I have been speaking to prospective parents at Stater Brothers, Harris GMC (Yes, they are still open too!) and around the community. Ask your friends to register before May 4th, and to your part -- pay your bill on time!
SECOND, if not Palm View, then who?
First, if you value a quality Christian education with the same high teacher quality and academic standards, there are only a handful of choices in the area. Second, the one thing that most parents overlook is the sustainability and viability of a Christian school when they make their choice. Just as one of the group of parents that used to be part of Brethren. Third, no one takes a look at the national trends and other tell-tale signs that a school might be in danger of closing. Vance Nichols, a long time ACSI administrator has been doing research on this for several years.
The current trends indicate that church sponsored schools under 120 students in the US are rapidly closing. Schools are 100 are in imminent danger of closing. The thought many schools have is to outlast the other -- but that usually only keeps them open 1 year longer. That is why we attempted a quality merger with another school in order to keep affordable Christian education in Whittier for the long term.
We have negotiated deep discounts, additional financial aid, and potential jobs for our teachers at one of the three local Christian schools whom I beleive will still be here for the next ten years. That will be publically announced on Wednesday, pending the outcome of the May 4th board meeting.
If you would like more information, please contact me directly.
Thank you.

Goodbye Whittier
Dear Palm View Family:
Last week’s announcement that our beloved school was closing after 25 years was one of the most difficult and emotional days of my life. As many of you know, once I realized that there was no way for me to figure out how to keep the school afloat during this economic period, I turned in my resignation, still hoping against hope that something would work out, and with no real idea what my family would do next. I thank the board for extending the timeline this week in order for new families to enroll.
As some of you have heard by now, I was called after the meeting on Monday and offered another position at Bethel Life Christian School in Wichita, KS. During the course of this week, we have decided to accept that offer. My wife and I will be introduced to their congregation on Sunday morning, May 2nd. In the evening, we will be introduced to the city of Wichita at the 10,000 seat Intrust Arena where I will share my vision of what quality Christian education can be during the schools annual fundraiser. Much of that vision has come to be reality over the last five years I’ve been involved at Palm View. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives. I don’t think many people realize the quality and caliber of the faculty we have had over the years. My hats are off to them for doing such an innovative and creative job with few resources.
As the school year winds down and as I enter this transition period, my focus will be on final celebrations of our graduates. Our team will continue quality instruction through the very end of the year. Please continue to pay your tuition bills on time in order that we can pay their salaries.
I have enjoyed our friendships, and covet your prayers. The one thing I have been constantly reminded during this time is simply this – The Lord prepares a path for those that seek Him. Walk in His ways and you will never go wrong.
To those that have known us during our 23 years in Whittier, we will announce a date for a final going a party sometime in June. We would welcome your presence!

FREE Wheelchair Mission
On Wednesday last week, we welcomed Mike Kenyon from Free Wheelchair Mission as our speaker. He presented a high quality, durable wheelchair constructed from a simple plastic lawn chair that is given away in impoverished countries. Many wheelchairs have been recently shipped to Haiti to help the victims of the recent earthquake.
Each wheelchair only costs $59.20. Our chapel offerings for the rest of the year will be going to support this important ministry which helps people function in their daily lives.
I have issued a challenge. If by the the night of the talent show, (Friday, May 14th) enough monies have been raised to purchase at least 10 chairs, I will have my legs shaved. If enough comes in to purchase 20 (nearly $1200), then I will have my head shaved bald.
In order to help motivate the students towards this goal, the remaining Fridays of the school year will be $1 free dress days. Please continue to bring offerings for chapel for the rest of the year. No other class room fundraising will be used for this.
To learn more about Free Wheelchair Mission, look for their link on our news site.

Announcement
Here is the text of an important letter all parents should have received by today from Pastor Tom Cederblom:
March 15, 2010
Dear School Family,
Four years ago I asked Marvin Miller to be the principal of Palm View Christian School. He has done an incredible job and has helped Palm View to dream big dreams while at the same time taking many great strides forward.
Unfortunately, Marvin has expressed to me his intent to not return as principal next school year (please see his attached letter). As many of you probably already know, Marvin recently became a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God. Marvin has shared with me his desire to be able to pastor (perhaps even pastor a church that would minister to families with disabilities).
I would ask three things from you at this time:
1. Please express your love and appreciation to Marvin for the great job that he has done. He has poured himself into this school and into the lives of students and parents.
2. Please pray for Marvin and Teresa as they search out what God has for them in the days to come.
3. Please register your students for the 2010-11 school year, and as a reminder, the early registration deadline is April 2. The church and school boards will be meeting this month to begin searching for a principal and to begin making plans for next year.
In times of transition like these the Bible always speaks to my heart, and I am reminded of these words, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
If you have comments or questions please do not hesitate to talk to me on campus, call me at the church (562) 698-2564 or email me at tom@palmviewag.com.
Trusting in Him,
Pastor Tom Cederblom.
Here is the text of my resignation letter
Dear parents, teachers, staff, and students:
It has been five years since Pastor Tom first asked me to serve on the school board and teach math. Shortly thereafter, he asked me to consider leaving my position in corporate management and to serve as principal. For the last 4 years, I have put all my time and energy into making Palm View an excellent school. We have come a long way in 4 years, yet there still lies much work ahead.
In life’s journey, we often arrive at unknown crossroads. After much prayer, torment, and struggle, I have decided not to return as principal in the fall. This year’s 8th grade graduation will also see me commencing a new episode in my life. That chapter is not yet written, the pages are blank; I do not know the future, but I do know the One who holds it.
Over the years, I have walked with many of you through illnesses, financial despair, disciplinary issues, arrests, divorce, and much, much more. My prayers have always been that you as parents, and students, would experience God’s love in all that we do.
Thank you for entrusting me with developing your student into a Christ-believing leader who will make a difference in this world. I will treasure it for eternity.
With Honesty,
Marvin J. Miller, M.Div
Principal, Palm View Christian School

Audio Announcement Text
Good Evening!

Earthquake
Good morning Palm View Parents!
Aside from some books off shelves and a few things on the floor, the campus looks relatively undisturbed. Every room has been checked and it is safe for all students to come to school today.
Some of our younger students may feel scared. Rest assured that our teachers will comfort them throughout the day.
If there are any additional major earthquakes during the upcoming days or weeks during school hours, rest assured that we have a plan in place, along with emergency food and water.
If you have changed any emergency contact numbers recently, now is a good time to update those with the office.
Have a wonderful day!

SCIENCE CENTER - Kindergarten Field Trip
Page Museum - La Brea Tar Pits - Field Trip 5th - 8th
The 5th - 8th grades will be taking a bus field trip to the La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Musuem this Friday, March 19th. Permission slips are going home. The cost is $10. The bus will leave at 8:30 and return at 2:30. Please bring a sack lunch.
Parking for Bones
For those that are interested, I am actually 4 days younger than David Boreanaz, and no, you will probably not see him here.
Those of you that enjoy trivia, will remember that our former dance teacher also had a role in a previous Bones episode 3 years ago.
Please pay attention as you drop off your children, as our entry traffic flow pattern may be different.
Go Green!
That's right! We want to Go Green! for St. Patricks Day!
All students do NOT have to wear your chapel uniform this Wednesday -- but you may come decorated as your favorite leprachaun! -- So, get out your Lucky Charms! Say hello to Mr. Green Jeans, and find a friendly clover! Decent Jeans allowed.
ATTN students: -- Even though it's free dress, if it's not appropriate and not St. Paddy's day oriented, you had better bring a uniform shirt, just in case. No logoed shirts for rock bands, shoe companies, or other slogans are allowed. This is still a chapel day and we will be agressively enforcing the uniform policy.

From Mrs. Centmeyer - Note of Thanks
ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO:
Mr. Miller for his wise input and financial support; the PTF for the financial support and the etiquette books for the girls; the Student Council for the flowers; the Parents who prepared and brought food for the event – thanks, the food was so delicious. God provided us more than enough to what we asked for! Thanks to the parents and friends who donated their time and services to help out in every way – setting up the tables, decorating, cleaning up, and many more; Mrs. Garcia’s sister-in-law for her ideas for the Tea Party; Darlene’s grandma for the tea pot cake – so beautiful and delicious – everyone took a picture of it before it was cut and served.
Mrs. Rios, Mrs. Rojas, Mrs. Santos, and Mrs. Chavez did a great job in judging our fashion show – the girls looked fashionable as they already are. Thanks for your time and wise judgment. All other girls, 5th – 8th, you too looked so wonderful--keep it up! Mothers, providing your students care and support they need, prove you are the best!
Mrs. Perez, Mrs. Cossyleon, thanks for keeping me on track and for everything. Mrs. Cederblom thanks for the prayer. Other teachers, staff, and friends who attended and helped out, your effort and contribution to the event were so remarkable. I can’t thank you enough. Of course I will not forget Mrs. Patsy and Mrs. Sam. Thanks for the beautiful invitation cards and support.
Special thanks to Pastor Tom for allowing us the use of the fellowship Hall and checking that the heater was on, Pastor Charlie and his men for clearing up the area after their breakfast, and Mr. Santos for checking that the campus is safe to all of us.
Last, but not least, Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Tremain, thanks to all that you’ve done to make this occasion a great success! You set the tone to this event.
Thanks again to All!

Bowling for College?
The 8th grade girls are headed to Rio Hondo College for the AAUW Math & Science Conference on this Friday with Ms. Garcia, while the 8th grade boys are headed to Mathematical Bowling at Friendly Hills Lanes with Mr. Miller and Coach Jeremy. There's a good chance they won't let us try this experiment...
Gravity Experiment using a bowling ball
In this experiment, you will be able to determine the height of building using a bowling ball dropped from the top. You will need a bowling ball and several stop watches
Procedure
1.Weigh the bowling ball
2.Drop the bowling ball from the top of the building.
3.Record the time of free fall with several stopwatches, from the instant of release until impact with the ground. Determine the average of the times.
4.Determine the height (x) of the building using the bowling ball's free fall time, where x = g*t2/2
5.Calculate the velocity of the bowling ball upon impact, using v = g*t where t is the time in seconds after it is dropped.
6.Calculate the momentum of the bowling ball upon impact, using p = m*v
