On May 24th, students completed the solarization of the Dojo Cafe. Located on the corner of 44th and El Cajon Blvd, the Dojo Cafe is truly a community cafe. The Dojo represents City Heights and its spirit of helping hands and open hearts. With the skilled leadership of Steven Steppe and the IEBW,the students added solar panels to the cafe roof and added several large panels to the lot. The project began with the students attending 2 five-hour sessions of OSHA-10 training. This training taught the students how to avoid workplace accidents, proper work place procedures, and all about personal protective equipment. This training is essential for job site safety, and now these students are certified for life. The next step was taking the students to the site. They met with the clients, Carlos and Tayari, to see what they were hoping for the students to do. The students took measurements of the property and took notes on what they needed to do. The OSHA training really paid off as the students had to wire panels, carry heavy equipment, and venture onto the roof. This "field trip" was no vacation. The students cleaned, carried, built, adjusted, climbed, wired, and worked hard. All of this hard work was possible with the awesome mentoring of Steven Steppe and the IEBW. The next time you stop by the Dojo Cafe, take a look at what the students have accomplished and get an awesome cup of coffee.

ClickSafety's OSHA-10 is a training course that teaches recognition, avoidance, abatement and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces. With the support of IBEW, NECA, and EWMC, our students were given the opportunity to take the course and receive their OSHA training for free. 10 Juniors, 12 Seniors, and 2 excited teachers completed the program, passed the exam, and successfully received their OSHA-10 certification. OSHA-10 training never expires, so these students will be able to use this throughout their entire lives. This training allows them access to real job sites and opportunities in the actual field. Juniors who worked on the Dojo Project used this training directly, reminding each other when someone was close to breaking safety protocol. Do you know the proper way to climb and carry a ladder? They sure do! Students attended 2, five-hour sessions. It was a lot of hard work and tons of information. At the end of 2 very informative days, they finished with knowledge, opportunity, and pizza. You can never forget the pizza.
One way SABE succeeds is by offering real world, on-the-job experience to our amazing students. SABE Juniors who are in AP Language have been provided the opportunity to work with a community partner to install solar panels, creating a system that will allow the business to run entirely on solar power. The Dojo Cafe is a unique coffee shop set in the diverse community of City Heights. Their mission is to serve delicious coffee while collaborating with community, businesses, and non-profits to provide unique and valuable experiences. The Dojo Cafe already utilizes some solar power. However, in order to join the growing trend of respecting the environment and striving for sustainability, they have decided that they would like to go totally solar. Who did they contact? SABE, of course! There is no one better to serve the community and work towards more sustainable world than our own Hoover High SABE students. Junior SABE students are reading Hersey's Hiroshima as a joint study between their American History and American Literature classes. On December 7th, the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, students gathered in the quad to read the name of fallen soldiers and give respect to those who died for their country. As a part of the project, SABE freshmen and sophomores joined the remembrance activity.
