The Mountain View-Los Altos district board honored three outstanding students this month.

Alta Vista senior Ivan Joshua Henriquez-Nunez was recognized for his academic growth and leadership. He helped organize a food drive at his campus, collecting over 350 pounds of food for families in Silicon Valley. He paints original logos, decals and scenes on plain Converse sneakers and is considering designing his own line of shoes.

Mountain View student Julien Roth was honored for his outstanding academic achievement and volunteer work. He has volunteered over 1600 hours of service at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto. In addition Roth has played competitive club soccer, basketball and participated in a few triathlons.

Los Altos high student Mark Levin-Gesundheit is the Entertainment Editor at the school's newspaper, the Talon. Levin is an avid writer, who describes his fiction short stories as "quirky, humorous and kind of ridiculous."
