Bilingual Parent Advisory Council
First BPAC Meeting Highlights
We kicked off the first BPAC meeting by introducing what BPAC is, our goals for the year, upcoming events, and ways to get involved in the community. Key discussions included our plans for the Día de Los Muertos Celebration on November 4, as well as opportunities for parents to share their input and ideas.
Thank you to everyone who participated—your involvement makes a difference! If you couldn’t make it but would like to get involved, please email Gabriela Cervantes at cervantesg@hawthorn73.org. Stay tuned for more updates and ways to engage throughout the year.
