3), replace our sound system in the MP room which feeds the stage as well, and provide additional classroom funding for
learning materials and projects.

Mrs. Ruth Espinoza. She is entering the world of retirement and we are so happy for her! Mrs. Espinoza
will be greatly missed as she has worked in CCSD for many years and been my constant support for my
past five years here at David M. Cox. Mrs. Espinoza put her heart and passion into her work and has
meant a lot to our students and staff here at DMC. We will be welcoming Mrs. Athena Janosik into the
position of Office Manager and Ms. Gianna Penney into the position of School Registrar upon
Mrs. Espinozas retirement. They are both amazing women and we look forward to a smooth transition.
