YAYWORTHY:

Nominator Archana Illa said,

“My daughter loves Spanish all because of her. When I met her during conference, she told us she is an exchange teacher, and it's been so awesome to have her experience here.

“She is very lovely with kids. She ensures they are comfortable and goes extra mile to make kids understand the importance of language. My daughter is so comfortable and loves Spanish. By the inspiration of her teacher, my daughter wants to apply for the Spanish specialty center and wants to be a Spanish teacher."

Thank you for all you do, Laura Conde, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
