Please join us in congratulating Flor Lujan, our Student Success Facilitator at Cesar Chavez Community School!
It is with great joy and honor that we share with you the incredible news that Flor has been selected as CIS National’s All-In For Students Site Coordinator Award Winner!
“The Communities In Schools All-In for Students Award honors staff, alumni, and partners who are committed to our students. ‘All-In’ distinguishes us from other organizations – we don’t just partner with schools – we take the next step by being in schools. To be ‘All-In’ means to be 100% invested in building an evidenced-based model of integrated student support that is proven to get students to graduation day and beyond.”
Flor has worked incredibly hard over the last year to bring programming to her community, taking extra time and effort to learn the ins and outs of data, as well as finding her students the support they need. She truly goes above and beyond to create an atmosphere of belonging at her school and among our entier CISNM team.
Quotes from her nomination:
“…I commend Flor’s commitment to continuous learning and growth. Her frequent reflection on her training and her ability to integrate her learning into her role as a Site Coordinator is truly inspiring. By synthesizing these experiences and insights, she has elevated her role beyond expectations, ensuring that our students receive the best possible support and guidance… Flor’s dedication, compassion, and innovative approach have made a profound impact on the lives of our students and the entire school community.” -Rita Hemmig, School Counselor
“Flor meets students and families where they are, building a trusted, genuine relationship…Flor also considers the whole child. Instead of exclusively addressing the surface-level problem of low attendance, she dug deep…Flor believes in students deeply.” – Nomination submission
“She is the soul of the school; thanks to her we have a lot of families and students with their needs met.” -Cesar Chavez Community School Teacher
We are so glad that CIS National saw in Flor what we all see in her each day. She is truly a blessing to the team and our community as a whole. Her accomplishments and recognition are greatly celebrated!
Flor will be showcased on the main stage at CIS National’s Leadership Townhall this fall, bringing CISNM and Santa Fe Public Schools to the hearts and minds of our national network partners.Thank you for your commitment and heart for this work, Flor! You are a gift to CISNM. We are honored to be celebrated through you and – most of all – to be celebrating YOU!
