Parent Ambassador Welcome Back

Friday, September 16th marked two traditions in South Texas. One signifying Mexico’s independence from Spain, and the other marking the start of a new school year filled with conversations, workshops, activities, and planning for parents representing the Vanguard Academy GEAR UP Project. The GEAR UP Parent Ambassador Welcome Back took place at the historical Museum of South Texas History where parents commemorated the holiday dressed in traditional Mexican attire paired with local breakfast from La Morenita Bakery consisting of delicious pan dulce and hot coffee. Parents from across the district came together for capacity-building workshops on topics such as communication and project management as they began planning for their first-ever district-wide parent conference that will take place at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
