Community Building By Example

Mountain View/Glendale Communit Learning Center’s Parent Leader, Gilberto Rejón Magaña, speaks about Community

Gilberto Rejón Magaña, Community Advocate

The word “community” means so much to me personally. I remember living in a place that really meant just that; coming together, sharing all…space, ideas, action, successes, celebrations and learning. All this took place in a space in the center of my village, and all of this is happening in this great land that I consider my second home.

Although I did not get a formal education, like most around me, I feel blessed and I am happy to be accepted to celebrate and be part of the something as meaningful as a Community Learning Center in the neighborhood where I live, Glendale.

As active parent volunteers in our public schools, we can do so much to help achieve goals and dreams. My plea to every parent in my community and beyond is to join me in the participation of support to make our children productive citizens, to give them the support in the most important part of their life…their education.

My name is Gilberto Rejón Magaña and I love my community.

The Mountain View/Glendale Community Learning Center’s new space will open in Summer 2013.
