July Parent of the Month!
GEAR UP would like to recognize Brandi Riley as our July 2020 Parent of the Month!!

"GEAR UP has been a great help to my family," Brandi said. "My girls have learned about the different opportunities through college, available after high school, as well as tutors available to help with their school work. They have made numerous friends and had fun times on the field trips. I enjoyed hearing of the fun times my girls have had and what GEAR UP has offered them by supporting them in their schooling."

GEAR UP Adviser Esthela Rojas explained why Brandi is deserving of this award, "Brandi has always been very active in and supporting of the program since her student joined in junior high. She has attended all of our family nights, volunteered on field trips, and has always encouraged students to participate in all GEAR UP related activities," she said.

Congratulations Brandi Riley! Thank you for all your hard work!
