<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">For the past six years, a fabulous group of San Antonio women have helped put on a highly successful fundraiser toward a singular goal: Helping other women men, too pay for and earn their high-school equivalency diploma.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In the context of a city pushing higher education and its four-year state university working toward Tier One status, a GED might not seem like a major academic milestone. But for students congregated in blue-, pink- and low-income white-collar jobs, a GED represents sacrifice and promise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Led by former Univisión anchor and talk show host Martha Tijerina, the women who run the Fabulous Holiday Brunch have raised $270,000 in six years, benefiting San Antonio College; $100,000 of it has been endowed at the Alamo Colleges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This year, they’re turning their attention south to Palo Alto College’s Adult Learning Academy, where 26 GED graduates crossed the stage at graduation recently. Those who were there say it was an emotion-filled experience. It’s an example of how Palo Alto has worked to make the idea of college both familiar and familial to students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Program manager Dolores Zapata says even the academy’s space in the main administrative building near President Mike Flores’ office suggests its importance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“They can meet the president,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s no small gesture, as it immediately elevates the student’s place at the college.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Palo Alto has worked to raise academic standards for them, “recasting the program to empower students to reach their potential beyond GED.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">They’re issued ID cards, as are other students. The academy provides individual counseling “so the students feel they’re part of our community and part of the college culture,” she says. “They can go to the tutoring lab and the fitness center, everything our college students enjoy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Zapata not only interviews potential students, but members of their families. “I’m talking to the child holding the mother’s hand, or the wife that comes with her husband,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This pathway to higher learning is profound, especially since adult learners have been so stigmatized. If they say their public school failed them, Zapata listens. “When those conversations are being had, we learn so much more,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Palo Alto believes these new approaches are more holistic and hopeful and says results were evident at graduation. Wearing the same caps and gowns as students earning associate degrees, 26 GED students were handed diplomas and shook hands with Flores and other dignitaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“I can’t tell you how moving it was,” Zapata says. “I could see achievement all over them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Fifty-one students are now enrolled in the program’s four eight-week sessions. Classes are held days, evenings and in English and Spanish. Instructors are public school teachers who are degreed and board certified.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Students range in age from 17 to 61. They’re mostly Latino and mostly women (the school is working on that).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“Some of them love their jobs and have been asked to earn their GEDs so they can be promoted,” Zapata says. Others definitely have intentions of going to college.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The program costs $99. The college administers the four-part GED test, which cost another $135. Texas now allows students to take each of the four parts separately, at $33.75 a pop. It’s telling that students schedule their tests on pay days, because that’s when they can afford them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The GED fundraiser — which will honor outgoing SAC President Robert Zeigler for his key support in it will help Palo Alto students with costs of classes and testing. Some will get college scholarships, too, which brings us back to the women of the fabulous brunch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Every event motivates them to do more. So, here’s a story that might assist as they work on selling tickets and tables for the seventh annual brunch Dec. 13 at the Omni Hotel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As Zapata shook hands with her latest crop of GED graduates, she also whispered something to each of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“You can do this again in two years,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Indeed, next time, they could be receiving associate degrees, fitting right in with the city’s education agenda that starts with Pre-K.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
Marisol Del Carmen Alcorta enrolled
in the Corporate and Community Education (CCE) - General Education Diploma
(GED) course at Palo Alto College during the Fall of 2013, passed the official
GED exam in the Spring of 2014 and is now enrolled and currently taking
Pre-Nursing courses here at PAC.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
Although Alcorta was homeschooled
for two years during her high school career and continually studied on her own,
she never officially completed the homeschool program, which left her without a
Diploma. But she knew she wanted to attend college, stating, “When I turned
sixteen I was intent on going to college and I wanted to get in as soon as
possible.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
So, when inquiring about college
courses here at PAC, she was referred to the CCE Adult Learning Academy to
assist her in obtaining her GED. Alcorta stated, “[The GED program] helped me
not only to feel more confident about taking the test, but it also allowed me
to interact with others and through group activities and working with partners
it gave me a hint of what college is all about.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
The GED program now includes an
8-week college preparation course, which provides a foundation for the various
skills needed in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics for the college entry exam
(TSI). Students will also receive a TABE and Accuplacer assessment, along with
the tools needed to excel in both college and career.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 4.75in;">
The Adult Learning Academy provides
both GED and ESL courses, affordable prices with highly qualified instructors,
flexible schedules with morning or evening courses, and full preparation in
English or Spanish. To learn more about the GED and ESL courses, contact the
program manager, Dolores Zapata, at (210) 486-3410 or log onto

Today, June 17, 2013, marked the first day of the Children's Leadership Academy. The eager students were excited to see the famous San Antonio ventriloquist, Nacho Estrada. Many different life lessons were learned through the comedic Estrada and friends, "Mijo" and "Maclovio," such as not watching too much T.V., always using a computer with adult supervision, and never to bully other people.<br />
<br />
Palo Alto College's Children's Leadership Academy is designed to give children the opportunity to experience learning beyond the classroom setting. The summer program consists of three two-week sessions that will teach students, age 5-10, leadership, character development, academic, art, dance, and physical education.<br />
<br />

Aside from Nacho Estrada's performance, the children will also enjoy field trips to the San Antonio Zoo and Natural Bridge Caverns.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; font-family: Verdana;">School can be expensive, but help
is out there. If you need financial aid, do your research ahead of time.
Find out how much money you need and how you might get it. Student loans aren't
the only option. Look into grants and pay-as-you-go.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Many companies offer to reimburse
employees for the cost of education. This isn't just out of the goodness of
their hearts. They stand to benefit too. If your company offers tuition reimbursement, take advantage of the
opportunity. You get an education and a better job, and they get a smarter,
more-skilled employee. Everybody wins.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will be featuring demonstrations of the new compressed earth block machine and erecting a small wall with dirt blocks at PAC Fest. The blocks produced from the machine are 100 percent dirt that is highly compressed. These 6” by 12” by 4” blocks can be used to build homes, apartments or small buildings. The demonstration is a preview of the course that will be offered starting this summer in building with compressed earth blocks.</span><br />
