More coverage of Banning High

The Palos Verdes Peninsula News ran an article today about the project that went on at Banning. Here's a piece:
At Rolling Hills United Methodist Church, there’s a newfound sense of pride — pride in a school and pride in a certain group of students. But that school isn’t on the Hill and those kids aren’t from the Peninsula. It’s Banning High School and its students in Wilmington.

On Saturday, May 2, about 30 members of RHUMC spent the day painting, shoveling and cleaning alongside at least a sixth of Banning’s students.

As the 30 volunteers filtered onto campus, many were met by rap pumping out of a loudspeaker in the middle of campus and at least 550 teenagers and parents ready to serve.

“It was really good for people to see the reality of what life is like at some place outside of PV, and see that there’s pride and that people really care about getting an education,” Jo Hunt, a RHUMC member and Peninsula resident, said.
