Twenty-nine CAA Colegio scholarship colegio students were back in class on February 17 after picking up uniforms, shoes, and school supplies from CAA’s participating merchants. Scholarship Program Administrative Intern, Alisson Esquivel M., did a terrific job working with the students and their families to complete their interviews, remind them of program expectations, and award the scholarship vouchers.
Alisson was assisted by a number of CAA Education Committee Members: Lynette Lewis, Andrea Carter, Susan Knab, Mariana Latham, and Scott & Linda McAnally. We all encouraged the students to work hard in school this year given that we expect eight 2022 graduates, our largest graduating class by far! From the smiles on the faces in the photos, this was a win-win experience for all who participated.
The Committee gives a special thank you to Alisson for setting a positive and professional example for these students. We know she will be busy this year also, as she prepares to receive her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from UCR-SO in April. And then the next chapter will unfold—will she begin work for her social worker licensing, or will she continue with advanced studies? Speaking for the Education Committee, it has been our pleasure to support her professional journey and we look forward to continuing our work with her for the next few years.
By working together, we continue to encourage growth through education, one student at a time!
