  • Summary

  • Ever wonder how a single voice or action can ripple through a community, sparking transformation and unity? That's the heartwarming journey we embark on with Better Together / Mejor Juntos, our new podcast celebrating the Santa Ana Unified School District's commitment to family and community engagement, hosted by Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Director Lisa Gonzales-Solomon. In our very first episode, we're honored to have Lorena Vergara, a supermom who's channeling her passion for her children's education into community-wide advocacy, and Elisa Briseño-Sandoval, our dedicated Family and Community Engagement Coordinator, as they illuminate the positive waves created by parents and schools joining forces.

    The stories of personal dedication and district-wide initiatives you'll hear today underscore the importance of creating inclusive spaces for all families, embracing the cultural richness that each unique background contributes to our educational tapestry. Lorena's involvement exemplifies the power of parental presence in shaping not just academic outcomes, but the emotional well-being of our children. Meanwhile, Elisa's work in encouraging families to bring their whole selves to the table, with initiatives such as sharing personal narratives and embracing bilingual literature, highlights the district's approach to fostering a nurturing, supportive environment for growth.

    Closing the episode, we're reminded that the strength of a community is measured by the collective efforts of its members. Through Lorena's advocacy and Elisa's coordination, we're shown a blueprint for building a better community—one where every student can thrive, supported by the unwavering commitment of their families and schools. Join us as we take the first step on this incredible journey, where the power of collaboration is not just celebrated but ingrained in the very spirit of Santa Ana. Together, we're not just crafting a brighter future for our children; we're weaving a stronger, more connected society.
