Kudos to Dr. Lisa Serna at Del Valle High School!
Dr. Serna is the choir director/choir teacher at Del Valle High School and teaching for 20 years! She is incredible, super sweet, kind, helpful, fun, and such a fantastic singer. She has taught us (the whole choir) so much about becoming great singers, presenting your performance(s) to either the class, to an actual audience for our concerts, shows, etc. Our school choir is the best in the whole district. Our principal, Mr. Atonio Acuña, loves our choir. If any kids would like to join, have them talk to Dr. Lisa Serna. Like I said before, she's incredible, and she'll show you all of the different techniques on how to sing and be a singer.

Briana Mejia, Parent
Kudos to Mr. Bernal at Ramona Elementary School!
Mr. Bernal crosses students in the morning, and sometimes Parents pull over after the crossing and in front of busses and drop off their children regardless of safety guidelines and drop students off where they are not supposed to. He tries to explain why they need to use safe drop-off areas. It's sometimes difficult to deal with difficult parents. He deserves recognition.

Kudos to Mary Mascorro, Service Desk Support, at Central Office TIS!
I was ready to test students on the DRC website for LAS Links. It turned out that the computers I had ready for testing did not support the DRC app and the updates did not work and my students were waiting on me. My IT on campus was not able to download the app on our new testing computers either. I called 41010 and fortunately Mary answered. She went out of her way to help me install the app on the computers I needed for testing. She did this while having to attend a meeting and balance other of her duties. We were able to get testing going and our students did not have to come back on a different day. This is how THEDISTRICT provides exemplary customer service. Thank You Mary!!!!!!

My daughter’s teacher was out this past week and Mrs. Acosta was the substitute covering for her class. This teacher did very well in keeping the students engaged and keeping them participating even while everyone is at home. She did very well at explaining and clearly telling students what needed to be done. Not once did my daughter say she didn’t know what was going on in class when I would ask. Just wanted to give this sub the recognition she deserved for such a job well done in such a trying time.

Kudos to Cecilia Vasquez, Nurse at Transition to Life Career Center!
My daughter's best friend is in Special Ed and attends TLCC in the YISD. She has said that nurse Cecilia Vazquez is amazing at her job, and is very good with kids. Stephanie has said numerous times that nurse Vazquez was always there when she needed help or assistance and would always calm her down when something was up. Stephanie has described nurse Vazquez as a kind loving person. One of the nicest persons you could ever meet. She hopes to see nurse Vazquez, "her favorite Nursie" once again this upcoming year. Nurse Vazquez has also been described as a nice kind-hearted soul. It would definitely mean a lot if nurse Vazquez saw this and know how much Stephanie and these kids appreciate her.

I would like to commend all teachers for their continued commitment and dedication to their students. With my mom still having to go to work, we were challenged while I was at daycare having to continue my education without any supervision other than the guidance of Ms. Barrera. Her dedication to me showed how much more I can accomplish and has made me a little more independent. I was ready to give up on the dual language program early this year, but her persuasion and willingness helped me develop and assured me that I can continue if I put a little more effort. I miss you dearly and wish we could hug you. May you continue to receive many more blessings.

Kudos to the Trainers at Hanks High School!
Huge thank you to Mr. Casey Rangel! He resolved an issue I had been dealing with since May, almost four months and counting. Spoke to two different staff members with no answers. Took him approx. two weeks to figure it out and get back to me. I've known Mr. Rangel for years and feel very fortunate to have him at Hanks. We need more teachers and trainers like him! Thank you Mr. Rangel.

It's the little things that make a big difference. I would like to say a big kudos to Mrs. Nancy Vanley, the athletic trainer at Parkland High School. She is my daughter's sports medicine teacher. My daughter's birthday was inundated with early college homework and Mrs. Vanley saw that she was completely stressed out. The class jokingly said she needed a pinata filled with candy to break it to release her frustrations. Then, Linda surprised her with a colorful pinata filled with her favorite candies. This is a true teacher, displaying social emotional learning. #unitedatthepark

Kudos to Ysleta High School Class of 2022!
The students are currently seeking to become the first class from any public school in the El Paso area to fundraise money to sponsor a room at the Ronald McDonald House for an entire year. This accomplishment means any family in need that comes to El Paso, so their child can receive treatment for a life threatening illness, can stay in the now called Ysleta Class of 2022 Room free of charge. The group of students were at La Posada Home on the April 20, at the Child Crisis Center on April 27, and the Ambrosio Guillen Texas State Veterans Home before the end of the school year. Thank you students for serving as an example we can all learn from.

Kudos to Joe Flores at Technology Information Services!
Joe Flores provided immediate help at Edgemere Elementary with the installation of our security camera operating system connecting it to our new security monitors. Mr. Flores was professional, courteous, and willing to accommodate way above and beyond what was asked of him. He arrived at our campus at approximately 2:30 pm and did not leave until after 6:30 pm. Mr. Flores showed innovation and courtesy when he refused to leave until the operation system was 100% functional providing us the safety and accountability we were striving to obtain. It is because of employees like Joe Flores that YISD is "THE DISTRICT."
