High Tech Elementary 5th Graders present Cause for Paws Adoption Event on Saturday, January 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at NTC Park in Liberty Station. Students have been challenged to create an awareness and fundraising campaign by building dog houses and cat condos, raising funds through student designed calendars, advertising, and hosting an event. “I love this project because it gives the students an authentic reason to research, write, and do math, all while they are engaged in designing and building these amazing structures to help rescue animals. The students have worked so hard to bring this project to its fruition and I believe it's going to be a beautiful event this Saturday,” said Jeff Govoni, 5th grade teacher at HTe. The event will feature local animal shelters, including Animal Pad and Whiskers Without Borders where they can both adopt pets and learn about ways to volunteer or support as well as a special appearance by Shorty Rossi, philanthropist and Pit Bull / Bully Rights Activist. Students will display their custom build dog houses and cat condos. In addition, students will share what they learned throughout the process. Plus, attendees can bring animal supplies to participate in a raffle for prizes (one raffle ticket per pet supplies item; all pet supplies will be donated to your shelters). Additionally, you can get your own pet caricature with locally renowned artist Marco. In attendance will be our seventy 5th graders, their families, and other family and friends from our High Tech Community. High Tech Elementary’s mission is to create a school community where students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world and teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations.

A faithless shepherd, a lovelorn shepherdess, and a charlatan magician meet in a pastoral tale of jealousy, romance, and magic. On January 27 and 28, at San Diego’s historic Liberty Station, Cinballera Entertainment presents Bastien und Bastienne, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s first opera, paired with an original ballet of the same story. On January 27, it would have been Mozart’s 268th birthday! In honor of this occasion, Cinballera is putting on the rarely performed Bastien und Bastienne, which he wrote at age thirteen. This charming, one-act chamber opera features only three characters and displays the young composer’s early genius in its beautiful melodies. It will be sung in German with live piano accompaniment, but the extensive dialogue will be spoken in historically-inspired English, to better present the story. The second half will feature the world premiere of a brand-new ballet based on Bastien und Bastienne, written and choreographed by Rebekah and Tiffany Brannan. Set to Gabriel Faure’s pastoral orchestral suite Masques et bergamasques, it tells the story of the opera through dance! About Cinballera Entertainment Cinballera Entertainment is an independent fine arts production company, founded by sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan in June 2023. The name stands for Cinema, Ballet, and Opera, its three main areas of focus. Last year, they put on four original productions at unique locations throughout San Diego County. Like all Cinballera productions, Bastien und Bastienne will be staged with subtlety, taste, and decency, so viewers of all ages and backgrounds can come. However, they are not geared exclusively to children; they tell mature, exciting stories in a clean, artistic way. Operatic soprano Tiffany Brannan will star in the opera, and professional ballerina Rebekah Brannan will play the leading lady in the ballet. They will be joined by a group of talented professional singers and dancers. Don't miss this delightful tribute to classical music and pastoral romance!
