the Restroom Overlooks
a part of the Valley
towards the 101 Freeway
System
~~Many students used the bathroom breaks to enjoy
the view, make private phone calls and to take a
breather between subjects and lectures. Many
enjoyed the views and the comradery of rejoining the
school force to soon re-brand in the workforce. Class
programs times are Morning 8:30am-12:30pm or
Evening windows 6:00pm-10:00pm to meet the
needs of the community who may still be working full
time or care for their families. ~~
