An Amazing Encounter at Adams Elementary School, Costa Mesa

 An Amazing Encounter at Adams Elementary School, Costa Mesa Sometimes we meet people that motivate us to do more. You know, you just want to "be more" around them. Maybe it's because we all just want someone to see something in us that we don't see in ourselves... or simply we want to be liked.This morning I met with a person that inspired in me those feelings.Principal Gabriel Del Real... or Gabe (as he asked to be addressed) wants to make a difference in our children's lives and along with his caring staff of teachers and administration, has worked tirelessly to implement and improve upon every child's experience from reading programs. His goal & it WILL happen... every 5th & 6th grader WILL have a chrome book.Ready to campaign that Character Matters, Gabe has his stamp of nurturing these young minds to be curious and thrive.In place is a music program being taught by Bridgette Duffin who travels between Adams Elementary and Anderson Elementary in Newport Beach. The children just performed at our annual Egg Hunt (Egg-Citement in TanagerPark) last weekend, and what a treat!!!Parents, students and the audience were all engaged!!!The joy on the children's faces as Ms. Duffin led them through their songs was electric. Changing Lives!Torelli Realty made a $250.00 Donation to the music program and children's T-Shirts will be funded by us next year as well.Gabe, who has been with Adams Elementary for 4 years is not going anywhere until he sees his programs come to fruition at his dream school.This is a guy who DOOR KNOCKED the neighborhood inviting parents to come see for themselves why Adams is the destination school of choice in Costa   Mesa.We can't wait to see what he has planned next and support him for "Being The Change" in our Community.
