Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate Ashley Cerro Montoya, an 11th-grade student at CHS, and Dasha Gonzalez, an 8th grader at CMS! Ashley and Dasha were selected to participate in the Migrant Education Program (MEP) at the University of Georgia this summer. The one-week residential program is designed to expose rising 9th-12th grade participants to campus life at UGA through activities and classes with UGA faculty and staff. The program emphasizes the importance of students earning a high school diploma and exploring post-secondary opportunities. The program is also designed to help current eligible migrant education students improve their reading, writing, and language skills, so that they may be better prepared to fulfill the requirements for high school graduation in Georgia. In addition to academic instruction, students will participate in other enrichment and campus activities, including arts, leadership, community service projects, field trips, and more! Congrats, Ashley and Dasha! We wish you all the best at MEP! #CelebrateOurStudents #CollegeCareerAndCommunityReadyStudents
