This news came into the Tribune today:

Randy Clawson, winner of the Arizona Cardinals Quarterback Community Award, named the Tempe Union High Schools Education Foundation as his charity of choice to receive a $10,000 check at the December 14th Cardinals football game. 

Mr. Clawson was nominated for the award because of his dedication to education and his spirit of volunteerism.  He has volunteered as a member of the Tempe Union High Schools Education Foundation for the past several years because he believes that education is an essential part of a child’s life and hopes that students can get the best education necessary for their future.  

Randy not only volunteers with the Tempe Union High Schools Education Foundation but also provides services to many organizations throughout the Valley.  Through his volunteerism he has demonstrated a passion for making the community a better place to live and has provided an invaluable service to the Tempe community. 

The Tempe Union High School District students, parents, staff and the cities of Tempe, Phoenix and Chandler are the true beneficiaries of his commitment.

The city of Tempe’s television station is giving citizens more insight into their schools.
Tempe 11 now is airing, on the channel and online, the Tempe Elementary School District’s twice-monthly governing board meetings. District crews will tape the meetings and Tempe 11 will air them Tuesdays at 10 p.m., Thursdays at 4 p.m. and Fridays at 10:30 a.m.
The channel also is launching a new program: “Tempe 411,” which features on-location looks at the city’s history and future. The Oct. 12 pilot episode will take a look at places in Tempe rumored to be haunted.

Finally, Tempe 11 has introduced a new logo, which has been redesigned after many years.
