Inc. announced today that its 2015 Fuel Your School program generated $500,000 to help fund 538 classroom projects, including 223 focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), to help connect real world experiences to classroom learning for 40,089 students at 151 public schools in select cities in and around the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County. Students at the Da Vinci Innovation Academy received a Physics Fun Park Electronics Discovery Kit. The kit will be used to help students gain a better understanding of the laws of physics and how these concepts are used to create and run an amusement park. “Children remember concepts best when they have the opportunity to discover why something works,” said Darlene Wonggaew, recipient teacher at Da Vinci Innovation Academy. “The items Chevron’s Fuel Your School program helped fund will allow my students to create their own Physics Fun Park by building games and rides that incorporate magnets and electricity, while learning the laws of physics behind the games.” Through the Fuel Your School program, Chevron contributed $1 when consumers purchased eight or more gallons of fuel at participating Chevron and Texaco stations in select cities in and around the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County during the month of October, generating $500,000 to help fund eligible classroom projects at local public schools. The Fuel Your School program is part of Chevron’s total commitment to education. Chevron has invested nearly $250 million since 2013, supporting programs that focus on STEM education initiatives designed to arm students and teachers with the critical skills and resources needed to succeed in jobs of the future. “As a company full of engineers, we are happy to help encourage our local students to explore STEM education and possible future careers requiring STEM-based skills,” said Frank Semancik, general manager of the Chevron, El Segundo refinery. “The impact this program has already made on our students is incredible and we’re proud to help provide with the materials needed to help make learning fun and engaging.” This year, Chevron’s Fuel Your School program generated more than $8.8 million for local classrooms in 21 U.S. communities and benefitted more than 1 million students by providing them with needed supplies. Chevron fully funded the traditional Fuel Your School program in 16 U.S. markets and local Chevron and Texaco marketers helped fund five additional markets. Since its inception in 2010, Chevron’s Fuel Your School program has helped fund 33,685 classroom projects at 5,155 schools in the U.S. The program’s impact has grown each year to support students in many communities where Chevron has business operations.• On December 15, 2015, the Torrance City Council approved a temporary suspension of street sweeping parking enforcement during the holiday season. From December 20th – January 3, 2016, the Torrance Police Department will not enforce street sweeping parking violations. However, street sweepers will continue to run during this period. Residents are reminded of the importance of keeping our streets clean; when possible, please try to comply with posted street sweeping restrictions.
