We must work together to establish a better future for the generations to come. Rise up with one another and stand together.” Teacher Lakeview Centennial High School “United as a community, we are stronger. As a team, we can overcome any obstacle. We are all different, and our differences shouldn’t divide us. Our differences should be the lenses of different perspectives, different strengths.” President Garland Area Alliance of Black School Educators (GAABSE) “It’s paramount that GISD stays the course during the pandemic. We must be the calm in the storm and continue to provide a quality education for ALL students. GISD has done a commendable job thus far and will continue to uplift the communities it serves.” Principal Memorial Pathway Academy “As a father of three young children and someone who took care of an ill mother for years, it's crucial that we stay together during this pandemic and cherish the most precious things in life: our family and their well-being. #StrongerTogether” State Representative District 112 “Beyond educational development, our schools are a community. COVID-19 has changed the way we come together but not the fact that we are together. During trying times, look for the helpers. Our GISD community is full of them. Together, we will continue to grow and learn.” Para una copia traducida, envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected]. Để nhận được một bản đã dịch, vui lòng email đến [email protected].
