Supporting Academic Success at Feria Para Aprender

Our district's Dual Language program had its own "storefront" space,and many of our staff were on hand to provide information to families.

On Saturday, February 22, our district participated in the eighth Feria Para Aprender, a learning fair for Spanish dominant families. This annual eventis designed to help Spanish-speaking parents become key leaders of their children’s academic success. Many AISD departments, nonprofit organizations and several universities were on hand to answer questions about topics ranging from early childhood education to scholarship applications. Professionals from in-demand careers spoke about their experiences and the benefits of education. Every year, this event continues to reach thousands of Latino parents and students who are drawn by its unique Spanish-language educational format. Its a great way for our families to learn about the many different educational opportunities our district has to offer.
