Cooking a steak "rare" means leaving it on the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side. I also learned that filet mignon (from what I hear, the most tender and expensive cut of meat) is best enjoyed rare. "Don't come in here and ask me to cook the New York strip well done," said Martin. "That takes away from the steak." I agree with Martin on that, however, like I mentioned, not sure that rare is the way I want to go for now.

Immanuel Schools– The Difference is Life Changing!
Speaking of restaurants, one of the places where I do eat the food rare is Yoi's. Yoi's is the Japanese food eatery in the shopping center across from Reedley College. I enjoy their salmon sashimi bowl. I don't know why, but I can eat uncooked salmon just fine, yet can't eat a "rare" steak just yet.
So, aside from our conver- sations about steak, the Bar- cellos' told me all about the history of their restaurant and how they enjoy serving the community here in Reedley. I wish you both much success in the future and keep up the great work.

The Kings Canyon Unified School District is one of 373 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 9th Annual AP® District Honor Roll.
To be recognized for this award, the district had to, since 2016, increase the number of students who are participat- ing in advanced placement (AP) classes while also increasing or maintaining the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher.
Reaching these goals showed that KCUSD was successful in identifying motivated and academically prepared students who were ready for their AP classes and exams.
“Success in Advanced Placement is a combination of students’ own motivation and the opportunities educators provide for them,” said Trevor Packer, Senior Vice President of AP and Instruction at the College Board. “I’m inspired by the
teachers and administrators in this dis- trict who have worked to clear a path for more students of all backgrounds to earn college credit during high school.”
Helping more students learn at a higher level and earn higher AP scores
"I’m inspired by the teachers and administrators in this district who have worked to clear a path for more students of all backgrounds to earn college credit during high school.”
– Trevor Packer Senior VP, College Board
is an objective of all members of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college pro- fessors. Many districts are experiment- ing with initiatives and strategies to see how they can expand access and improve student performance at the same time.
In 2018, more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, or both, and/or consideration in the admissions process.
Inclusion in the 9th Annual AP Dis- trict Honor Roll is based on a review of three years of AP data, from 2016 to 2018, looking across 38 AP Exams, including world language and culture. The follow- ing criteria were used: districts were re-
at least 6 percent in medium districts, and at least 11 percent in small districts. They were also required to increase or maintain the percentage of Ameri- can Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander stu- dents taking exams and increased or maintained the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students
scoring 3+ on at least one AP Exam. Other requirements also included to improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 2018 percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher to the 2016 percentage, unless the district had already attained a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP stu-
dents earn a 3 or higher.
Because those outcomes were
achieved among an AP student popu- lation in which 30 percent or more are underrepresented minority students (American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/ African American, Hispanic/Latino and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander) and/or 30 percent or more are low-income students (students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), a symbol has been affixed to the district name to highlight this work.
