EXECUTIVE LETTERS
From the Executive Director
From the Board Chair
As I look back on the year, I can’t help but think that we
fared through the worst of it and came out strong and
reenergized. We overcame challenges and stayed on
course to meet our goals and in some cases, surpass them.
Operationally, we lost the Wesley Rankin center due to
harsh cold weather which froze the water pipes causing
them to burst and flood the site. The majority of the
children from this site were reassigned to other Mi Escuelita
locations nearby and we were able to help them make this
transition without disruption to their school year.
Certainly, as the past few years were challenging for
everyone, Mi Escuelita Preschool was not spared. What
we heard over the past two years about the down
economy, unemployment being high, home ownership
falling through the floor, is to prepare for the worst and
hope for the best. With that type of new pressure, it
was important for us as a board to stay abreast of rapid
changes in both public and private funding sources.
To help our teachers boost student learning, we introduced
CLASS, a new assessment tool that helps teachers recognize
and understand the power of their interactions with students
and serves to boost student learning. We continue to see
our children emerge stronger, smarter and eager to learn.
Testing shows that when our children graduate they are
able to master a second language and are AHEAD of their
chronological developmental expectation.
On the branding and marketing side, I’m excited to say
that we began the process of transforming our image. Our
marketing/PR committee partnered with Dieste, Inc. to
develop a new, more refreshed look with a new logo and a
new tagline (Give Wings) that we are integrating into all of
our communication. The new look instilled in us a renewed
level of energy and we look forward to maintaining the
momentum as we push forward in the upcoming year.
Adding to our success were the hundreds of volunteers
who gave of their time in the classrooms with Mi Escuelita
children. Our children enjoyed learning and experiencing
a wide variety of activities and subjects. We had 1,804
volunteers spending 29,323 hours of their time to give back.
Not to be outdone, our committed and tireless committee
members put together one of the most successful
fundraising dinners to date. Our annual dinner exceeded
goal by 93% - thank you to key sponsors, donors, volunteers,
and friends of Mi Escuelita who contributed to the success.
I am happy to report this same dream team has agreed to
lead this fundraising initiative again next year.
As I look to the next year, I am optimistic that the worst
is behind us. We are working diligently to maintain the
momentum and the spirit of “Give Wings” and I invite you
to join us in the excitement.
Give Wings,
Gayle Nave,
Executive Director
In this new climate, we saw the importance of forming
committees dedicated to supporting the different
initiatives important to Mi Escuelita.
The Dinner
Committee really outdid themselves this year, raising
almost double the funds from previous years. We
are thankful to the board members who led our many
volunteers and supporters that organized such a
successful event.
Our new Marketing and PR Committee spearheaded
a new re-branding campaign, new logo and tagline
for Mi Escuelita. Working with Dieste, Inc. we expect
to continue to fine tune and expand our marketing
communication. Being top of mind and keeping Mi
Escuelita in the forefront are keys to our success.
And our development committee worked diligently
to bring in new sponsors this year, adding many new
sponsors to the list. These efforts led to the success of
our Annual Dinner and subsequent events throughout
the year.
As we move forward into the new year, it is imperative
we keep our eye on the changing landscape of early
education in Dallas. The increasing diversity of its child
population with limited language proficiency makes the
need we meet that much greater.
Thank you to our board members, our donors, our
sponsors, our staff, our volunteers and friends of Mi
Escuelita. It is through your generous and tireless effort
that we are able to provide quality, early childhood
education to the children with the greatest need.
All the best,
Mark Guckian
Board Chair

Like Father Like Son
“I am a product of Mi Escuelita and I also chose Mi Escuelita for my son. The
fact that I am able to bring my son to a program that I was part of is very
fulfilling for me “- Jason Guevara
When Jason Guevara drops off his young son,
Jason Aiden Guevara at Mi Escuelita Bethany site,
it stirs fond memories of being dropped off at
Mi Escuelita by his own father. Jason attended
Mi Escuelita back in the 80’s and recalls the
excitement of attending school every day. “It
was where my friends and my cousins were, and
I knew we were going to do something cool. I
couldn’t wait to get back to school the next
day”, says Jason laughingly. He sees the same
excitement in his son’s face in the mornings and
can hear it in his voice when he talks about his
day at home.
Both parents marvel at his sense of independence
and how quickly young Jason adjusted. He
started Mi Escuelita in October 2010 and after
six months was already expressing his desire to
“bathe himself”. That’s a big step in the Guevara
household. Mr. Guevara confirms they made
a conscious decision to enroll their son in a
school that will allow their son to develop both
his English and Spanish language skills. “He’s
growing as a person in different categories and
stages that will benefit him later life”, affirms Mr.
Guevara.
traits, manners and values. “He says please and
thank you and sorry” and this means something to
her.
“I see a lot of myself in my son. I know that
attending Mi Escuelita will help him tremendously
later in life. I am a product of Mi Escuelita and I
chose Mi Escuelita for my son. The fact that I am
able to bring my son to a program that I was part
of is very fulfilling for me. I know I’m doing well
by him”, commented Jason.
To hear more from Jason about being a Mi
Escuelita parent, visit our website at www.
miescuelita.org and check out our video page.
After leaving Mi Escuelita, Jason remembers
his teachers telling him he was always talking
and smiling. He works at Bank of America and
enjoys talking and helping his customers. “My
co-workers say that I’m a chatterbox, I talk to
everybody. I wasn’t always so confident in my
words. Now, well, you can’t get me to stop. I
owe that to Mi Escuelita. They taught me a lot of
things early in life”, said Jason with a big smile on
his face. He comments that he never felt behind
or out of place when he was in school.
Jason confides that his wife is thankful Jason
Aiden is not only learning the basic education
fundamentals like numbers, math, colors, shapes,
etc. but that he is developing his personality

new school.
The Gonzalez family has three children, Maria, 13,
Juan, 10 and Noe, 5 who attended Mi Escuelita
Preschool and both the husband and wife volunteer
at Mi Escuelita, with Antonio, the father cleaning the
schoolyard on weekends and Gabriela, the mother,
working in the classroom assisting the teachers. They
value education in the lives of their children and are
happy to give back if it means their kids have access
to all the opportunities available to them. “We want
our kids to go to college, to succeed in life, and we
know we have to do our part to make that happen for
them”, said Gabriela Gonzalez.
Noe, her youngest child, is currently enrolled at
Mi Escuelita and is an intelligent, caring boy, but
extremely shy. His mother explains that one day while
in the laundry room at home, the washing machine
kicked into the spin cycle. When Noe heard the
whirring sound, he stated to her “you know mom,
that’s how a tornado starts to form”. He went on to
describe what the clouds look like and what the family
has to do to take shelter in the event of a tornado.
His mother always thought he was too young to learn
about such complex subjects like weather, much less
safety precautions. She asked him, where he learned
about weather and he said, Ms. Sosa his teacher at Mi
Escuelita taught him about weather. Although shy,
his teacher informs his mother that Noe is one of the
children in class who actively participates in class
discussion on subjects like science. This makes his
mother proud.
While enrolled at Mi Escuelita, the teachers recall Maria
being a model student from day one. She adjusted
well, was outgoing and was an avid learner. “At first
we weren’t sure about how well our daughter would
do because she didn’t speak English well, but my
husband and I decided she would do better in school
than staying at home with me,” said Gabriela. Often,
Maria would ask her parents to challenge her to see
how high she could count, how many words she knew,
or even to read them a book. “The first time she did
this, I cried”, said Mrs. Gonzalez. Maria tells her mother
that she wants to become a pediatrician and would
like to come back to Mi Escuelita to give the parents
health tips. “I believe she will do it”, her mother states
proudly. Maria is currently enrolled in a private school
where she was accepted because of her grades. Her
parents firmly believe the program and the curriculum
at Mi Escuelita established the solid educational
foundation that allows Maria to enjoy the academic
success she has now.
After Maria left Mi Escuelita, the Gonzalez’ knew they
had to enroll their other two children. They were
convinced the Mi Escuelita program was a good place
for their kids to start their education. Juan, the middle
child, attended Mi Escuelita for only one year but it
was then the teachers noticed Juan was having trouble
“feeling” the objects in his hands, thus impacting his
motor skills. He eventually transferred to a school
that provided both learning and therapy for him, but
his mother states that he was always adamant about
completing tasks on his own. He didn’t want help. She
recalls a statement he made when in therapy, “let me,
my teacher at Mi Escuelita says I have to do things
myself first, then ask for help”. His mother is grateful
to Mi Escuelita for instilling a sense of independence
and self-sufficiency in her son. He is excelling at his
The commitment to doing whatever must be done
to keep the child in school is evident. At Mi Escuelita
we are here to provide their children an education –
it’s what we do. It’s our mission and we are just as
committed.

New Logo, New Tagline, New Look
This year, Mi Escuelita refreshed its image and branding with a new logo and tagline and also added new
multimedia platforms to increase branding opportunities for Mi Escuelita and our sponsors. We kicked off
our new look and showed off our “wings” at a Texas Rangers game one week prior to the donor dinner which
helped boost community awareness.
Donor Dinner Surpasses Goal by 93%
The 2011 Mi Escuelita Cena de La Mariposa (Dinner of the Butterfly) was a tremendous success, surpassing
fundraising goal by 93%, thanks to presenting sponsor Estrada Hinojosa and the leadership of Marcia Hinojosa
on the Dinner Committee. The event was attended by community friends of Mi Escuelita, key Dallas dignitaries
including representatives from the Mayor’s office, city council members, a TV media personality and a state
