Parent Engagement in Region 20
P-20 NEWSLETTER

Friends and Families,
My name is Melissa Garcez and I am the new Program Coordinator for The Parent Engagement Program and
The Center for Military Families.
Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. I love learning and taking any opportunity to be active with my child! I understand how strengthening your child's skills, getting in quality time and work schedules can be a struggle. Hopefully this newsletter provides you with the resources you need to discover new learning opportunities for you and your children.
Information about our UTSA summer camps, San Antonio summer camps, opportunities for parent training, community resources, military family happenings, as well as common college entry requests are included in this newsletter.
Happy Scrolling!
