Bilingual Education Tivy High School Teacher Receives $2,000 of Books Ahead of New School Year
KERRVILLE, TX– Out of hundreds of submissions to the statewide competition, Tivy High School teacher April de Garcia, was chosen as the lone recipient for a classroom makeover from a local law firm. As part of its #howicare campaign, The Carlson Law Firm opened statewide nominations for one dedicated teacher to win a classroom makeover valued at $2,500.
Kerrville attorney Amos Barton presented Mrs. de Garcia with her new classroom library along with The Carlson Law Firm swag to help students throughout the year.
“April’s dedication to teach and support her student’s educational and personal growth in learning a language pushed us towards helping her have the resources to best help these students,” Barton said. “Bilingual educators are opening the world of endless possibilities to their students for today’s interconnected world.”
As a bilingual, nationally recognized law firm, we recognize the importance of dismantling language barriers to best serve our communities and their legal needs. The ability to speak multiple languages is essential to thriving in the global economy, and gaining a bilingual education has been proven tremendously beneficial to students.
In June 2021, Carlson Cares opened its Classroom Makeover Giveaway to all Texas educators for a chance to win a classroom makeover of their choice valued up to $2,500. The firm received hundreds of nominations with requests from teachers at all grade levels, request levels ranging from flexible seating to new STEM equipment.
The Carlson Law Firm launched its Carlson Cares “How I Care” campaign to highlight and celebrate the amazing people in our communities who go above and beyond to improve the world around them. This year, Carlson Cares has put a considerable amount of focus on literacy and access to books.
