Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Chartwells K12

On Thursday, February 8, a few of our scholars had the honor to attend the Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic/Latino Affairs in Winston-Salem. This was the first time that the Governor’s Council has ever met outside of Raleigh. They came to hear from our local leaders including the city council, the Winston-Salem Hispanic League, and citizens like you that want the government to enact laws and policies that will positively impact North Carolina’s Hispanic and Latino population. During this time students heard people advocating for better representation (how to support citizen of Hispanic/Latino background to run for office). Students heard a college student ask the council to advocate for legislation to support DACA locally in North Carolina. Students also learned about the importance of funding our public schools and how that money directly impacts their educational experience, through programs such as English as a Second Language classes and the Newcomer Centers.

Last but certainly not least, students learned that their voices matter. They can use their voice to make a lasting change in our world.

Although Governor Cooper was not present for this meeting, we were lucky to have met a former Jet, who had immigrated to the US when he was seven and he said he was lucky enough to call Hall-Woodward home.
