General Manager Kevin Ng poses for a portrait in the new downtown Palo Alto location of coconut pudding store Tong Sui. A lot of first timers that came and tried us and then return all the time, Ng said. I think eventually, they [customers] are more into the fitness and into the healthy lifestyle.

HELPING HAND — Rachel Dial lends support to students in an English 9A classroom where she co-teaches with fellow English teacher Hunter Reardon. A high number of students with IEPs are placed in co-taught periods such as this one. “It’s been challenging because the numbers seem to be increasing and we definitely see a larger number of students with IEPs tend to be students of color,” Dial said. “There are actually many students who don’t have IEPs or 504s that also struggle and need extra support.” Photo: Miya Whiteley
