🌟Student Spotlight! 🌟
At this month’s Board Meeting, Vanguard Academy students truly shined as they led our Pledge and Invocation!
Alanis Velez, a 3rd grader at Vanguard Beethoven Elementary, proudly led the Pledge of Allegiance and Texas Pledge. As a dual language learner, Alanis embraces both Spanish and English, celebrating her Puerto Rican heritage while excelling in her studies. She loves spending time with family, exploring nature, and learning about different cultures.
Jillian Rodriguez, a senior at Vanguard Beethoven Early College High School, delivered the Invocation. A dedicated leader and community advocate, Jillian serves as President of both the Student Council and Criminal Justice Club, is a cheerleader, and participates in multiple community organizations. She plans to pursue a career in law and continue making a positive impact in her community. 🙌
We are proud of Alanis and Jillian for representing Vanguard Academy with such confidence, leadership, and heart! 💙💚
