MNC says goodbye and happy retirement to Maria “Yolanda” Muñoz, our beloved preschool assistant teacher who has been serving at MNC’s Stevenson Campus for the past 19 years. Her farewell party had staff, parents and children celebrating her long service with flowers, gifts, and a colorful cake to top it off. Yolanda is known for her generosity and loves giving out candy to both staff and children. She also enjoys traveling, especially to Mexico.
Thank you Yolanda for 19 years of memories, love, and dedication to MNC, the children and their families!

MNC was visited by Luis Chavez, Counseling Faculty/Coordinator for Berkeley City College, and long-time colleague and friend of MNC CEO Richard Ybarra. Fifteen people were in attendance for this engaging lunchtime event. Staff from the Executive Team, Healthy Aging and Disability Services, Mission Girls, and the Early Education Team gathered to hear Luis’s touching stories and the challenges he’s still overcoming to create a community of support for students.
Luis Chavez is dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion practices that center on marginalized student learning and long-term success in educational, work, and community settings. He brought three decades of experience organizing and collaborating on projects primarily for disproportionately impacted students and educators across CA community colleges to MNC. He gives his mother credit for instilling in him a hard work ethic and dedication to supporting the family and community.
Luis Chavez is our first guest to debut the MNC Distinguished Speaker Series where we will host a variety of guests to discuss important topics in community work. Thank you Luis for visiting our MNC Campuses and sharing your passion for student learning and success!

February is black history month and Teacher Shae, Lead Teacher in the Rainbow/Arcoiris Toddler classroom at MNC’s Bayview Campus, and Teacher Rosa held fun activities to celebrate. Garrett Morgan, who invented the traffic light, was honored to mark the beginning of Black History Month. The traffic light’s colors and their meanings were explained to the children verbally and visually.
Other fun activities include the creation of the Black History Month Wall where the theme of love and diversity is upheld with a powerful quote from Martin Luther King Jr. The children learned about headwraps to show how those in the black community wrap their hair for protective styling and for the historical context of black haircare. They also got the opportunity to make their own unique Kente cloth patterns. The signature colors used are red (for the bloodshed) green (for the land) yellow (for the wealth and gold) and black (for the people).

MNC continues to sharpen its event planning and performances which makes each gathering stronger than the last. MNC staff worked behind the scenes to make magic at the Helen F. Chavez Legacy Celebration event held on Saturday January 27th, 2024.
Tables and chairs were arranged around Helen’s favorite-colored flowers, food and drinks were accounted for, staff made sure monitors properly displayed family photos, and the screening of a rare interview with Helen F. Chavez was a success as the curtains rose and Elmy Bermejo, Christine Chavez and special surprise guest Mayor London Breed were unveiled with timely precision. Thank you to our volunteers and staff for working hard behind the scenes!
