Congratulations To Our Fabulous LIA - #LIACONF17

Congratulations to our fabulous MNJHS LIA (Latinos In Action) who took Second Place Overall with their group dance performance today!  Jose Hernandez was the Keynote seaker.  He is the first Latino NASA Astronaut.   Hernández was assigned to the crew of Space Shuttle mission STS-128.  Our students attended workshops where they listened to motivational speakers.  The purpose was to inspire them to be successful in life by getting a good education. Students were encouraged to embrace their culture, their roots and their bilingualism skills.  We are so proud of the amazing things our LIA students do to support not only our school, but the community as well. From tutoring elementary students each week, to Teacher Appreciation Week our LIA is the best! 

Nuestros alumnos asistieron talleres en las cuales habian presentadores para motivarlos salir adelante en sus vidas recibiendo una buena educacion.  Se les inculco a los alumnos que esten orgullosos de su cultura, sus raices y de la capacidad de ser bilingues.
