She met with the Superintendent to thank him for all he does for our district and for allowing her to speak at several of the elementary campuses recently.
Mr. Gonzalez welcomed Paola with open arms and has invited her to come and speak with our students whenever she can.
Paola is a great role model for the younger generation as she is the prime example of what hard work, good grades, and determination can do!
