Thank you for listening to Montbello Memory Mapping on The Voice of Montbello Podcast! In this episode, we hear from Montbello Educator Ginny Lorbeer. Ginny taught Montbello High School’s founding class in 1980 and led the Pep club, cheerleading, and student council. She addresses negative stereotypes Montbello youth have faced and how Montbello High School became the center of the community and instilled a sense of pride in being from Montbello.
Ginny also spoke to us about some changemakers that are products of Montbello High School.
This is episode one of the Montbello Memory Mapping Podcast Series, where Montbello Youth interviews Elders from the Montbello Community. You will learn more about how Montbello came to be and how it has developed into the thriving community it is today.
Interviews are performed by youth podcasters Lucero, Kylejay, Yannis, Mohammad, and Lea with support from Mayra Gonzáles, Franklin Cruz, Josue Rodriguez, and Paul Clifton.
