Benjamin Holt chosen as distinguished school

Lodi Unified's Benjamin Holt College Preparatory Academy in Stockton was only one of three middle and high schools in the county recognized as a distinguished school by the state of California.

The other two include Escalon High and Jefferson Middle schools. The statewide honor was announced last week.

The 2009 California School Recognition Program directly focuses on California's students and their entitlement to an equitable and rigorous education, according to a press release from the state Department of Education.

The California Distinguished Schools Award identifies and honors those schools that have demonstrated educational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap.

Do you have an all-time favorite T-shirt?

Everybody has one of those T-shirts they refuse to throw away, no matter how grubby and faded it is. No matter what's going on, when you put that shirt on, you get comfy and your mind fills with all the happy times you've had while wearing it. Some were gifts. Some are souvenirs from family vacations. Others were found in the back of grandpa's closet.

If you have a favorite T-shirt — and we know you do — we want to hear about it. Tell us all about the shirt: How long you've owned it, where you got it, why you love it, how it makes you feel and how have you kept your wife from throwing it out with the trash. It doesn't matter if it's new or old, you just have to love it.

Send your T-shirt stories (about you or someone you know) to Lodi Living Editor Lauren Nelson at laurenn@lodinews.com or call 369-7035. Make sure you leave a name and phone number.
