Happiness

Giving back to my community makes me happy and knowing that you can make a difference in the lives of others fuels my passion. As result, the Crystal C. Chavez Foundation is taking time to re-examine the state of education in El Monte and the San Gabriel Valley and seeking answers to some questions below:
-How can we help more young people attend and graduate college?
-Are military families being served?
-What lessons can be learned from attempts of education reform, college initiatives, and other educational nonprofits?
-How are schools doing their part to close the education gap?
-In what ways can we say 'thank you' to our teachers?

We look forward in partnering with the public in order to better serve our community's youth.
Unfortunately, the 2012 CCC Foundation Scholarship will not be offered this year in the process of our strategic planning and reflection period. Please check back with us next year.

Create your own happiness today and as always, keep marching onward in reaching your American Dream.

Congratulations Rosa!

Veterans Day 2010

Veterans Day is this Thursday, November 11, 2010.

According to military.com we celebrate Veterans Day to thank and honor veterans who served honorable in the military-in wartime and peacetime, deceased veterans are also rembered on this day.

[Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans www.military.com]

As a military spouse, I know this holiday is very important for my family and millions of other military families across the nation and those stationed abroad. So please make time to thank a veteran for his/her service to this great nation we call America.
