At 9:15 a.m. Monday, Nov. 28, just before its annual assembly, "Courage to Stand," Oakland Elementary School is hosting a presentation recognizing Ricardo Caldera, a fourth grader who was wounded during a break-in at his home last month.
Principal Reggie Robinson will present Caldera with a trophy for his bravery in shielding his brother from gunshots.
Following the presentation will be a "Courage to Stand" assembly at 9:30 a.m., a three-screen video presentation by Companies for Kids encouraging students to stand up for what is right when it comes to issues like bullying and peer pressure.
