Program 20's Inauguration
This morning's inauguration event at Frank D. Parent Elementary school was a success! Pictured above are our new Dreamer Scholars with Program Coordinators Chaznae Walker and Georgina Cortinas and Senior Director of Programs Janell Lewis.
The event started with Principal Gregory and Superintendent Dr. Melendez addressing the Dreamer Scholars and their family members. IHADLA CEO and Executive Director Pamela Miller then welcomed the students into our program.
Robert Pullen-Miles from Assemblywoman Autumn Burke's office (District 62) spoke and presented IHADLA with a certificate of recognition, recognizing our dedication to our students and our incredible efforts to empower and educate our youth.
Chaznae, Georgina, and Janell then led the students in our new "Dream Team" chant.
Program 18 Coordinators Kylia Lewis and Maria Martinez and Program Assistant Selina Melgarejo handed out a backpack stuffed with school supplies to each student.

We'd like to acknowledge Janell Lewis, our Senior Director of Programs; Chaznae Walker and Georgina Cortinas, Program 20's Coordinators; and our other team members who supported the enrollment process. Thanks to their hard work, we have 44 new Dreamer Scholars (and will possibly have 9 more soon)!
We will be posting to our website and social media as well. We can't wait to show you the new "Dream Team" chant video!

All the best,
Meagan
