MY MEMORIES of COACHELLA VALLEY USD & COACHELLA VALLEY NEWS UPDATES: this was a site originally on posterous which I had to salvage after they suddenly sold out and shut down...it's about my time teaching there before coachella became famous for the music festival (although that's not far from the school where I taught)...i will also be adding periodic news updates about the valley 020715
