🇺🇸 A lo largo de la historia de nuestra nación, los afroamericanos han servido y realizado inmensos sacrificios por nuestra libertad. Más de 5,000 afroamericanos libres y esclavizados lucharon en la Guerra Revolucionaria, mientras que aproximadamente 179,000 lucharon durante la Guerra Civil para poner fin a la esclavitud. En décadas más recientes, los Buffalo Soldiers, la Asociación Nacional de Enfermeras Graduadas de Color y los Tuskegee Airmen sirvieron a América con distinción.

Hoy en día, nuestras fuerzas armadas están lideradas por los generales Lloyd J. Austin III (Secretario de Defensa) y Charles Q. Brown Jr. (Presidente del Estado Mayor Conjunto). Demos un saludo y reconocimiento a estos notables afroamericanos que protegen nuestra democracia y nuestro país. 🎖️👏

Fantastic Saturday at the financial aid workshop organized by our local school district! It was the first event of its kind, aiming to become an annual affair. Great to see many students and parents actively participating, starting, and completing their financial aid applications. Despite a national glitch in the application software causing some issues, the event was a success. Excitingly, three lucky students won Chromebooks, although two were unable to collect them as they had left early.

With additional workshops planned through early March, this event, engaging almost a third of our senior class and their parents, was an amazing start.

Special thanks to our dedicated staff members for their exceptional support, including early morning preparations and guiding seniors and parents in the open lab sessions. Here are some snapshots from the event.

We hope you will share this accomplishment!

Congratulations!"
