On Monday, May 11, Mayor Ishii will be hosting the 30th Annual Berkeley Mayor's Student Awards.
The Mayor’s Awards were created to honor Berkeley High School, Berkeley Technology Academy, and Independent Study students who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in the following categories: Citizenship, Communication, Community Service, Extraordinary Effort, Leadership, Performance/Visual Arts, and Sports/Athleticism.
The event will take place on the UC Berkeley campus and will include student performances, speakers, and remarks by Mayor Ishii. We expect to present awards to over 150 students.
Although this event is not open to the general public, if you would like to view the festivities and celebrate these amazing students, the program will air live on YouTube and on cable TV Channel 33 via Berkeley Community Media at 6 pm. |

Berkeley is fortunate to home to a diverse and significant number of nonprofit organizations that provide vital support and services to the community and raise awareness about important issues.
This month, we’re spotlighting an organization in District 6: |
|
|
Friends of the Fountain and Walk |
|
|
|
Friends of the Fountain and Walk is an all-volunteer, state and federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit group that led the effort more than a quarter-century ago to restore The Circle Fountain (Grizzly Fountain) and Walk to their original glory.
That project constituted the largest privately-funded public works project ever undertaken in the City of Berkeley. Today, they continue as stewards of these civic treasures: raising funds, volunteering, and working hand in hand with the city to maintain and improve them.
