🌎 Supporting Bilingualism, Biliteracy, and Student Success 🌟 Thank You, Hoover Team! 🌟

A huge thank you to Ms. Garcia, Mr. Sater, Ms. Herold, Mrs. Benson, and Ms. Mitchell for dedicating part of their summer break to attending the Annual Conference on Two-Way and Dual Language Education!

Their commitment to continuous learning is one of the many ways we strengthen Hoover’s Dual Language Program and provide the best possible education for our students.

Together, we are committed to the three pillars of dual language education:

📚 Bilingualism & Biliteracy – Developing proficiency and literacy in both English and Spanish.
🎓 High Academic Achievement – Supporting strong academic outcomes across all subject areas.
🌍 Sociocultural Competence – Fostering cultural awareness, respect, and the skills to thrive in diverse communities.

👏 Thank you to these dedicated educators for investing in their professional growth and helping our students become confident bilingual learners and global citizens! 💙💛

We want to thank all of our Hoover families for helping make this school year such a special and successful one. Together, we created lasting memories, celebrated achievements, and watched our students learn and grow.
To our promoting students, we are so proud of you and excited for the next chapter of your journey. We wish all of our Hoover families a wonderful summer and a successful school year ahead.
We can't wait to continue cheering you on and look forward to the day we see you walk across the stage as high school graduates. 💙🐾🎓

Queremos agradecerles a todas nuestras familias en Hoover por ayudarnos hacer este año escolar una año muy especial y exitoso. Juntos, hemos creado memorias duraderas, celebramos acontecimientos and hemos visto a nuestros estudiantes aprender y crecer.
