El Hispano
News Launches Parent Institute to Commemorate 20th Anniversary
with Its Program ‘Parents Step Ahead’
Dallas, TX--February
9, 2006--El Hispano News, the oldest free Hispanic newspaper and
one of the largest Hispanic publications in Dallas/Forth Worth,
in collaboration with the Dallas Independent School District will
launch a series of parent institutes this year. The initiative
will be called “Parents Step Ahead” and will be held
throughout the Dallas area in predominantly Hispanic communities.
The seminars will aim in preparing and educating parents on the
numerous challenges that plague our youth. The program will empower
parents to become better educators and role models.
“We attributes
El Hispano News success to the loyalty of our readers so it seems
only appropriate that we dedicate our 20th Anniversary to their
empowerment,” said El Hispano News Associate Publisher Lupita
Colmenero. “These Institutes will help Hispanic parents
become more involved in their children’s education, thus
improving their child’s chances of success in school and
in life,” added publisher, Marcos N. Suarez.
The “Parents
Step Ahead” program will consist of three parent institutes
which will be open to public participation and will provide access
to the highest authority figures in parenting and early education
to local parents that are starving for such assistance, in all,
to parents that want to be “a parent step ahead” of
their children’s education and development. Each Institute
will include a complimentary breakfast; welcome address, breakout
sessions and or small closing lunch.
At the conclusion of
the year, El Hispano News will host its 20th Anniversary Gala
in which it will name the 2006 “Parents Step Ahead”
Parent of the Year, from an application of parents that attend
the whole program and selected by a committee comprised of local
corporate and community leaders.
The first of its kind
for the Hispanic community, the Institute promises to be an eye
opening and motivational experience for all parents wishing to
stay “A Step Ahead” of their child’s education
and success.
