@RightAtSchool My area manger fired me without a saying or a warning because a child bit me a month ago and i already filed a complaint about it today because she decided to block my number and no reach back to me at all. Please reach back out to me so I could explain the situation more.

🏆 Congratulations to Samantha Villeda, Area Manager in California, one of Right At School's newest GEM Award winners!
Sam's story is one of coming full circle. She grew up benefiting from afterschool programs, which is exactly why she chose this work.
Since joining RAS in 2020 as an educator, Sam has risen quickly, now overseeing programs across some of California's most competitive districts. In just two years back in her home base of Los Angeles, she's opened three new districts—South Pasadena, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica-Malibu—with more expansion already on the way.
Her approach is rooted in trust. She recalls a student in Palo Alto who struggled to attend school more than once or twice a week. Through the consistency and care Sam's team showed him, he became a program regular, eventually going months without a single school absence.
That human-first approach defines everything Sam does, from the way she engages ELOP coordinators and district liaisons, to the bi-weekly newsletters she introduced to keep families connected on California's many closed campuses.
Ask Sam about the award, though, and she'll tell you it belongs to her team. That kind of leadership is exactly what a GEM looks like.
Congratulations, Sam! 🏆
