Saraí Tijerina, a fifth-grade teacher at J. Robert Hendricks Elementary School in Flowing Wells Unified School District, is named on the International Literacy Association’s 2023 30 Under 30 List.

The list honors emerging leaders who are working to create positive change in the global literacy landscape.

Tijerina, 26, is in her fourth year of teaching. She was recognized for creating deep roots with her school community and helping create safe learning environments, especially for students struggling at home. In her free time, she also assists Spanish-speaking families with interpreting.

During the district’s remote learning format during the pandemic, Tijerina often took the time to drop off schoolwork at students’ homes and followed up with the families by phone or email.

And despite the challenges the pandemic caused for schools throughout the state, Tijerina’s fifth-grade students outperformed their school district peers in 2021, scoring 31% higher in English and 53% higher in math.

“I know there are students who need me to be that one teacher for them and that is why I am a teacher,” she said, noting that several of her teachers made all the difference in her life while she was growing up.

Last year, Tijerina was also given the Chicanos por la Causa’s 2022 Esperanza Latino Teacher Award for helping her students achieve high assessment scores and playing a large role in connecting Spanish-speaking families with educational resources.

A BASIS Oro Valley student was one of the top 300 scholars in the Society for Science’s 2023 Regeneron Science Talent Search.

The talent search is known as the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors, organizers say.

Matthew Kim, a 17-year-old student at BASIS Oro Valley, was selected as a top scholar for his project titled, “Slowing Down Ice Melting from Thermal Radiation via Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Eggshells.”

The 300 scholars will each receive $2,000 and their schools will be awarded an additional $2,000. The scholars were chosen from a pool of nearly 2,000 applicants, based on their outstanding research, leadership skills, community involvement, commitment to academics, creativity in scientific questions and exceptional promise as STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) leaders.

For more information about the Regeneron Science Talent Search, or to find a list of the 300 scholars, visit www.societyforscience.org.

The application cycle for the Marge Christensen Gould Memorial Scholarship, which awards $1,500 to one high school senior, is now open.

To be eligible, students must currently attend Catalina, Sunnyside, Desert View, Star Academic, Project More or TAP high schools and graduating with the class of 2023. Applicants must also have a GPA of 2.5 or higher, provide two letters of reference and their unofficial transcripts, and be accepted at a not-for-profit college or university.

Scholarships are renewable for one more year to qualifying students. Students can find more information and application materials by visiting www.margegouldscholarship.org.

The Marge Christensen Gould Memorial Scholarship helps students pursue post-secondary education, in honor of former Catalina High School teacher Marge Gould, who worked with at-risk students and served the school for 28 years.

Tucson-made documentary looks at teacher struggles in AZ

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD News 13) - The bell rings at Flowing Wells High School for Nathaniel Rios’ 4th period AP U.S. History class.

"Don't be tardy, have a seat, let's go," he exclaimed as kids took their seats.

It’s crunch time with only two days until the big test for college credit. It is Rios’ job to make sure they are prepared.

"I feel like I have a legacy," he said.

He’s been at Flowing Wells High School for 12 years and teaches the most challenging classes of U.S. Government and History offered, yet he faces challenges of his own.

“With three kids at home, to be responsible I have to look at that every year and say is teaching a sustainable part of my life and of my family’s life?” asked Rios.

But if something doesn't change, Rios - like many other teachers - is afraid he won't be able to affordably call his school halls home much longer.

That narrative is one every Arizona teacher knows well.

One a locally made film hopes to change.

‘Teaching in Arizona’ take a look inside Tucson teachers’ classrooms - including Rios'.

The movie began production in January of 2018 and continued through the Red for Ed movement. It aims to spark conversation about better education.

Red for Ed sparked change in the state a year ago and got teachers more money in their paychecks by 2020.

"We're really hopeful that that comes to fruition," said Katie Rogerson, Chief Operating Officer of Tucson Values Teachers. "But there is still so much more that needs to be done."

One of those things: more money to benefit students.

"I don't have the ability to take kids to city hall and do field trips like I want to," Rios said.

It shows teachers' struggles.

Rios scoops ice cream on the weekend for extra cash for his family, and so he can continue to do what he loves.

Back in his classroom, kids write in crayons and markers to compare time periods of our past, an interactive way to help kids remember history.

But Rios' students may be witnessing it in the making.

"10, 20, 30 years from now if I'm lucky enough to still be teaching," explained Rios. "I will be able to help students understand where they fit."

Tucson Values Teachers funded the short documentary.

They've held screenings around the state since the beginning of April.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, they've opened a link to the public to watch from anywhere until May 12.

It's fight night! UFC 249 is set for Saturday night, and two Arizona natives are on the main card: Tucson's Dominick Cruz and Safford's Justin Gaethje.

Nicknamed "The Dominator," Cruz (22-2) — who last fought in 2016 — will look to recapture the bantamweight title from Henry Cejudo (15-2), a Phoenix-based fighter. ESPN+ will air the main card as part of a pay-per-view package.

UFC 249 was originally scheduled for April 18 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The COVID-19 pandemic forced UFC Dana White to move the event to VyStar Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Cejudo was initially scheduled to fight Jose Aldo, but Brazil's travel restrictions prevented Aldo from leaving the country.

The UFC event is limited to fighters and coaches, all of whom have undergone COVID-19 testing leading up to the event. Ronaldo Souza was pulled from his bout with Uriah Hall in after testing positive.

"It's surreal," Suzette Howe, Cruz's mother, told the Star on Saturday via telephone from Florida. "The amount of precautions they're taking here to make everyone good — all the fighters had to be tested. The buzz is crazy hot. We all have to stay separated, which is very hard for teams to do. But everyone is doing their best. ... I'm not allowed to go in. They're being very critical of who enters the facility."

Cruz, a Flowing Wells High School graduate, has dealt with a slew of injuries since UFC 207 in 2016, including plantar fascia tendinitis, a broken arm and shoulder injury.

"He's ready. I'm very excited for him. This is his third title comeback over all these years. ... He's ready to come in and do it again," Howe said.

Gaethje, whose family owns Morenci copper mine, will face Tony Ferguson in the main event, which is expected to begin at 9 p.m.

UFC 249 prelims begin at 5 p.m, with the main card beginning at 7 p.m.

Here's a look at the fight card:

Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje (Interim lightweight title)

Henry Cejudo vs. Dominick Cruz (Bantamweight title)

Francis Ngannou vs. Jair Rozenstruik (Heavyweight)

Calvin Kattar vs. Jeremy Stephens (Featherweight)

Greg Hardy vs. Yorgan De Castro (Heavyweight)

Anthony Pettis vs. Donald Cerrone (Welterweight)

Vicente Luque vs. Niko Price (Welterweight)

Fabricio Werdum vs. Aleksei Oleinik (Heavyweight)

Carla Esparza vs. Michelle Waterson (Women's strawweight)

Bryce Mitchell vs. Charles Rosa (Featherweight)

Ryan Spann vs. Sam Alvey (Light heavyweight)
