It was a rainy day in Menifee on January 17th, 2020, as Freedom Crest Elementary Student Melody Mooers was awarded a gift card donated by Newport Pacific Land Company. In place of the “Freedom Friday” assembly, normally held outdoors, the ceremony was held in the administration office due to the ground being wet from the rain. Every month, a teacher selects two SOAR students who demonstrate being safe, organized, accountable, and respectable. SOAR student’s names are placed into a monthly raffle to be selected to receive a gift card donated by Newport Pacific Land Company.
