Beautiful Space Crew needs your help! They are preparing to create an up-cycled bottle cap mural. It will likely feature the earth and trees, so they are seeing more brown, blue, and green bottle caps. Using waste to create art helps build awareness about plastics in our environment.

Watch our former Conway student, another young presenters at the TEDx event in Escondido, speak about a compelling topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aW4J_eTQGc. Zander Chan enjoys soccer, video games, and the epic adventures of One Piece. Beyond the virtual battles and on-field victories, on of the most fulfilling chapters of his life was his tie as a past of the leadership Crew at Conway Academy, known as Ambassadors. As an Ambassador, he had the privilege of welcoming newcomers to the school, sharing its spirit, and leading informational tours. Beyond the school gates, he seized opportunities to speak at notable events hosted by EUSD, amplifying the school's voice in the community. Along the way, he has been honored with awards for his athleticism, dedication as an Active citizen, and academic achievements as a Scholar at Conway. Excited for the next chapter of adventure, both on and off the field.
