Due to several events occurring in the city, and the Christmas and Thanksgiving breaks, we did not have a chance to share with the community the SRO Student of The Month for November. 

Introducing Blanca Lopez

Aside from her great athletic skills, she has a great sense of helping others. Blanca is a member of the Azusa High School's "Link Crew." This group consists of other seniors who assist the incoming freshman with adjusting to life on the high school campus.
