I will be starting a new chapter as Superintendent of Lawndale Elementary School District on August 1st! #LESD so excited for this new journey!

This is our team. This year, #EMCSD rolled out our counseling program as one of the MTSS SEL supports for our students and families. They have been a tremendous addition to our staff! Thank you for all you do! @DrMaribelGarcia

I’m proud to be honored by Microsoft's Legacy Project as, “one of the most influential, groundbreaking Hispanic and/or Latinx changemakers of our time.” #humbled #atpromise #latinx #chicano #education #teacher #equity

#EMCSD Child Development programs recruiting families at the @MyElMonte Farmer’s Market. Stop by our booth to enroll your children ages 0-5 years!

EMCSD Virtual Summer Academy 2021 starts June 7 @ 9:00 AM. Registered students please pick-up your kit of materials from your school site. We are so excited for a summer filled of fun and learning. #emcsd #VA2021 @VCastroemcsd @DrTeresaPinedo

@LosAngelesCOE thank you for partnering with #EMCSD and bringing Hope on Wheels to our families! We had a great event at Jeff Seymour Family Center for our Headstart and Early Headstart families, and shared resources available! @DrMaribelGarcia

Being back in the class just feels right to me! #thirdgraderock

Thank you to all the amazing teachers who dedicate their lives to education! We appreciate everything you do! Hope you are having a fabulous week and know that you are APPRECIATED!❤️

@MaryEstherEspi @edutopia Agree! We need to do better.

@edutopia @VCastroemcsd What is really sad is that many culturally diverse books are not included in Accelerated Reader. That must change for the sake of our students!

Asian American and Pacific Islander communities have a long history in the U.S.—but there remains a gap in curricula regarding AAPI experiences in our schools. These books can help close that gap. #AAPIHeritageMonth edutopia.org/article/incorp…

I love this!

Every admin should spend time actually teaching. Here's why. bit.ly/3rFLZIR #Edchat #K12 #Teachertwitter

I learned to love to read because of Ramona. Thank you, Beverly Cleary.

Thank you music educators for your critical role, impact, and inspiration in every musical performer's life. Award your music teacher with a heartfelt thanks! ❤️

CA's students deserve to see themselves & their stories in the classroom. Today’s historic approval of a model #ethnicstudies curriculum empowers schools to uplift marginalized voices, achieve racial justice & create lasting change: cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr21/yr2…

Thank you, @AsmBlancaRubio for your advocacy and championing educational issues! #csba #legislativeweek #EMCSD

I think I improved an old visual I made... what do you think (before I finalize)?

Congratulations Geri! We are so proud of you!
