Gadsden ISD Students Lobby for Dual-Language Program Funding in Santa Fe

Students and staff from Gadsden Independent School District recently traveled to Santa Fe to advocate for financial support for their dual-language program. Funded by Project Jupiter, the trip provided students with advocacy training and opportunities to engage directly with state legislators. They learned about the policy-making process and shared personal stories that highlighted the importance of dual-language education. This experience not only empowered the students but also inspired them to consider careers in public service, as illustrated by junior Denise De Anda's reflections on the impact of policy changes.
