Guest Speakers Needed
At Vista Peak Preparatory innovation is the norm. Vista Peak's vision is to prepare our students with a strong career and academic focus. Here is an opportunity to cultivate strong bonds with our students, their parents and the community.
I am Zaida Kingery, Spanish Teacher at Vista Peak Preparatory. I am looking for native Spanish speakers, successful people who will visit our campus as guest speakers on a Wednesday or a Thursday. Our students surely benefit from making connections to the relevant everyday life as explained by a positive role model. This is an invitation for you or someone you know who would enjoy helping our students acquire a real world experience. Students listening to personal stories of accomplishment through perseverance and hard work would recognize the value of their education.
In order to make a difference in these young lives, the collaboration from all of us working together is crucial. Please help us inspire our students to persevere with their studies. Do not hesitate to contact me to add your name to our guest speakers list.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Zaida Kingery
Spanish Teacher
