The Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department advocates for families and seeks ways these two groups can increase student achievement and opportunities.

According to event organizer Nancy Gauthier, she hopes the event will transform how people perceive others and their capabilities. They will hear true, inspirational stories from individuals who are very much like them. Gauthier is a FACE specialist.

Gauthier added that many families feel overwhelmed with life and the pressures of these unprecedented times. Still, FACE wants everyone to know that they are not alone in their struggles.

“Critical markers in achieving these goals is building relationships, communication, and trust,” said Dr. Martha Escalante, executive director of FACE. “It takes a group to accomplish goals. We want our families to see that there is no ‘we’ or ‘they.’ We all have personal stories and challenges. We want everyone to see just how similar we are. We exist to help our families with resources and help them become stronger advocates for their children. We can accomplish so much more together and help students flourish.”

FACE believes that caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated staff are vital in helping students reach their potential. The Be Inspired series aspires to engage families and the community in our schools. Together, we can transform our students’ experiences in school. Together, we can make every campus a thriving school. Together, every student will be ready for college, career, and life.
