Di Giorgio Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Arvin, California. Its student body derives from portions of Arvin, California and from the unincorporated, rural Di Giorgio, California. ==History== Founded in 1897, Di Giorgio Elementary School is the oldest elementary school in Arvin. Two versions of the campus exist: an old, discontinued building alongside a basketball court, and the modern 33 acre campus.〔http://wwwstatic.kern.org/gems/digiorgio/DiGiorgioSARC200910EnglishFi.pdf p.4〕 The two are right across the street from one another. Prior to being named Di Giorgio, the campus consisting of the discontinued building (single room schoolhouse) carried the name of Rockpile School. Following the first years of operation, the school would close eight years after its opening due to low attendance rates.〔http://lamontparentcenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=115&Itemid=79〕 However, it would later open again. Enrollment would then "triple" during the 1930s.〔http://lamontparentcenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=115&Itemid=79〕 Following the burning of the original schoolhouse, agricultural entrepreneur Joseph Di Giorgio would donate $150,000 dollars and 40 acres of land on Christmas Eve, 1945.〔http://www.silvertips.org/History_Local/DiGiorgio%20History.htm〕 Rockpile school would then change its name to Di Giorgio School to honor the gift. Today, Di Giorgio Elementary School has an enrollment of approximately 220 students, taught by nine teachers, and supported by 22 staff members in total.〔http://www.digiorgio.k12.ca.us/staff〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DiGiorgio Elementary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
