Honorary Councilmember Paola Lumbreras
At the March 1 Council meeting, Paola Lumbreas, a 5th grader at Acton Elementary was the Honorary Councilmember. Once upon a time, she was “the new kid” and learned how scary that can be.

She has demonstrated how to change her unpleasant experience into a better one for others. WATCH THE VIDEO
