I want to extend a very sincere thank you to the everyone who gave up their Saturday to help families, particularly Spanish-speaking parents, fill out FAFSA forms at the Hands-On Financial Aid Workshop. It took an incredible group effort from us as well as the GISD Hispanic Administrators and the Garland Association for Hispanic Affairs to be able to serve the more than 300 people in attendance. The volunteers who dedicated themselves to meet this challenge were:

From Los Patos Listos: Robert Galindo, Cindy Castañeda, Ray Canham, Jamie Hardy

From Rising Star: Hilda Della-Sera and about a dozen Rising Star college students

From Thunderducks at large: Howard Clapper, Susan Wehe, Anne Leazar, Laura Moguel, Mercy Fernandes, and Miriam Leyva

And last, but not least our Financial Aid Staff: Bruce Anderson, Vicki Goux and Tayyaba Shahdad.

Thanks for being a great team! If I have left anyone off, please forgive me.
