🎉 Celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth! Frances Cruz-Serrano - International Family Involvement Specialist #AACPSFamily #CelebrateDiversity #AACPSCelebrates #MesDeLaHerenciaHispana

7 months ago, Anne Arundel County Public Schools

Frances Cruz-Serrano - International Family Involvement SpecialistI began my journey as a member of the International Parent and Community Partnership Academy, proudly representing my Hispanic community. Over the years, I have taken on multiple roles, from Teacher Support Assistant, Interpreter and Bilingual Family and Community Outreach Facilitator. Since 2022, I have served as the International Family Involvement Specialist, where I act as a vital link between the international community and the school system. I am proud to be Hispanic because our cultural richness, reflected in our traditions, music, food and art, distinguishes and unites us. Throughout history, we have demonstrated admirable strength, overcoming challenges with determination and hope. Our family values, such as respect and mutual support, are the heart of our community, and through them, we continue to contribute positively to society in various areas. But above all, our language, Spanish, connects us, gives us identity and allows us to express our essence and legacy around the world. Celebrating these achievements reminds you that you are part of an influential community. In addition, one more reason to be proud to be Hispanic is to have the opportunity to celebrate and pass on these traditions and values to future generations. Mrs. Cruz-Serrano is the inaugural recipient of the Educator of the Year Award from the Anne Arundel County Office of Hispanic/Latino and Multicultural Resources.

Frances Cruz-Serrano - Especialista en Participación de Familias Internacionales Comencé mi camino como miembro de la La Academia Internacional de Liderazgo para Padres y la Comunidad (IPCLA), representando con orgullo a mi comunidad hispana. A lo largo de los años, he asumido múltiples funciones, entre ellas la de Asistente de Apoyo a Maestros, Intérprete y Facilitadora Bilingüe. Desde 2022, soy Especialista en participación de familias internacionales, donde actúo como enlace vital entre la comunidad internacional y el sistema escolar. Me siento orgullosa de ser hispana porque nuestra riqueza cultural, que se refleja en nuestras tradiciones, música, comida y arte, nos distingue y une. A lo largo de la historia, hemos demostrado una fortaleza admirable, superando desafíos con determinación y esperanza. Nuestros valores familiares, como el respeto y el apoyo mutuo, son el núcleo de nuestra comunidad, y a través de ellos, seguimos contribuyendo positivamente a la sociedad en diversas áreas. Pero, sobre todo, nuestro idioma, el español, nos conecta, nos da identidad y nos permite expresar nuestra esencia y legado en todo el mundo. Celebrar estos logros te recuerda que formas parte de una comunidad influyente. En adición, una razón más para sentir orgullo de ser Hispana es tener la oportunidad de celebrar y transmitir estas tradiciones y valores a las generaciones futuras. La Sra. Cruz-Serrano es la ganadora inaugural del Premio al Educador del Año de la Oficina de Recursos Hispanos/Latinos y Multiculturales del Condado de Anne Arundel.
