ANGELICA GABRIELLE DHONDUP
Guadalupe School is sad to announce the tragic passing of one of our parents. Angelica Dhondup, Guadalupe School alumni and mother of 3 Guadalupe students, was killed by a drunk driver on her wedding day this past weekend. Angelica was an incredible human and super hero mom, who always put her family's needs above her own. She was the happiest and most playful with her children. Her motivation to be the best mom and partner was inspiring. Angelica's family has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral and other expenses. If you can help, we encourage you to donate. She will truly be missed by the Guadalupe School community.
BACK TO SCHOOL
Back-to-school shopping can put a major financial strain on Guadalupe families. Between the costs of new clothes for growing students, backpacks, and school supplies, it can easily add up. This is especially a problem we see with our low-income households with multiple children to provide for. Please consider purchasing basic school supplies from our Back To School Wish List to help our students prepare for the first day of school. You can gather school supplies and drop them off here—or do it all online.
Transforming Lives Through Education
GUADALUPE GRADUATE VOLUNTEERS
Every year we invite some of our Guadalupe Graduates (GG's) to come back and help during summer school.
Lesley says, "Ms. Jensen’s class was life changing for me. She helped me build a lot of my foundational skills during the first year of enrollment, and pushed us to do higher-level math by the end of the year. Thanks to Ms. Jensen, I’m more academically motivated and am currently taking advanced classes."
