Kids knighted in Thousand Oaks

THE DRAGON SLAYER- Weathersfield Elementary School third-grade teacher Peter Jpel pins a medal on student Elijah Dictor, 8, as he is knighted by King Dean DeBinion and Queen Karen Sue Akridge at Conejo Creek Park North last Friday. Jpel's students have been "slaying dragons" all year. In a program that culminates in spring, Weathersfield students seek academic achievement as knights.
