Middle School Students Go “Old School”
Torrance students at Calle Mayor Middle School were recently assigned a
community service project. Among them were two seventh-graders, David
Tanioka and Rajiv Cherkupally, who thoughtfully chose to direct their
efforts to raising money for cancer research. The boys went about this
the old-fashioned way: selling cookies and refreshments at their lemonade
stand. Their kindhearted, hard work paid off, and they were able to raise
just over $54. Using their bicycles for transportation, the boys found
their way to Torrance Memorial’s Foundation Department where they
hand-delivered their generous donation. Thank you, David and Rajiv, for
your positive contribution to the community!

David Tanioka and Rajiv Cherkupally shared a smile when they delivered
the proceeds from their community service project.
