Sitting in my office, streaming the Board Meeting, making sure each of our precious Strikers is on a roster & out of my window these 2 beautiful community members walk up. I can hear them praying for our staff & students here at Mendez. What a gift it is to be here.
Thank you to @ManoAmigaSM for including my mother, Ofelia Vasquez Philo, as a Latinx community leader in your beautiful mural. Looking forward to the reveal on August 14. On behalf of my family, we are humbled and honored.

My mom, my mentor, my best friend, my champion rang the bell today. Her chemo treatment is over and she will have a scan at the end of July to make sure she’s all clear. So thankful to know this warrior and learn from her constant fight and joy.
Just in case anyone needed a reminder about how special our young women are here at Mendez. We spent time complimenting each other this morning. I can’t stop thinking about this incredible time together.
