Bill Wilkinson writes:

The symposium “Gold Stars for Schools in the Campo” will be held Monday, February 26, at 5PM in the Rosewood Ballroom. The event features experienced Mexican educators telling their stories of success in the campo schools. Following the teachers’ panel, discussions in smaller groups on related issues will provide an opportunity for the audience to participate. This cross cultural event is free and open to the public. Panelists will present in Spanish with simultaneous translation.

The event should be very informative and highlight programs that are working in the campo. The discussions following the panel will be greatly enhanced if we have an informed audience that works on educational issues. Please reach out to your members and friends and invite their attendance.

Thanks and see you at the event.
