June Parent of the Month!
GEAR UP would like to recognize Isaac Mendez as our June 2020 Parent of the Month!! "I believe one of the main keys to a child's success is a parent's involvement in their education...I truly appreciate Issac's willingness to be involved! He does not allow barriers with language to keep him from supporting his student's education," GEAR UP advisor Kimberly Robinson remarked.
Hello my name is Isaac Mendez and I would like to recommend the Gear Up program to you. 
 I would advise students to give themselves the opportunity to attend and have the experience to participate, learn and develop their goals.
 By attending you will find Gear Up counselors who can help guide you as you go to college And strive for a diploma and a better future.
 To the parents I invite you to attend the orientations and activities in order to support your sons and daughters. I invite you to give yourself that opportunity to learn about the program, by accompanying my son
 I was able to see up close the hard work that the program does and that the counselors are very helpful. their words and guidance helped me to understand even more my son's school and the goals that he wants to achieve for his future.
Hola, mi nombre es Isaac Mendez y me gustaría recomendarles el programa de GEAR UP a los estudiantes. Espero que puedan aprovechar la oportunidad de entrar al programa y puedan tener sus propias experiencias, a la misma vez que trabajan en sus metas. Al participar en el programa, conocerán a consejeros de colegio que le pueden ayudar y orientar con todo el proceso de asistir a la universidad, y luchar para lograr tener una carrera y un mejor futuro. También les recomiendo a los padres a asistir a las orientaciones para apoyar a sus hijos.Yo he tenido la oportunidad de acompañar a mi hijo y me di cuenta que los consejeros de colegio son una gran ayuda y sus consejos me ayudaron a entender más a mi hijo en la escuela y cómo apoyarlo con sus metas. Estoy agradecido con todas las personas que están involucradas en el
programa de GEAR UP, y gracias por su tiempo, ayuda, apoyo a nuestros estudiantes.
Congratulations Isaac! Thank you for all your hard work!
