EDLA donates money for ESOL scholarships
Story by James Hill
Left to right, Rocio Ceja-Bolanos, James Posey and Karla Sanchez, 51 Sylvania students and members of EDLA (Educacion Latina) and AS51, visit the college’s Foundation office to drop off $480 in scholarship support for Sylvania Campus’ English for Speakers of Other Languages program.
The funds were raised by way of a silent auction, part of “Fiesta Latina,” a day-long series of events to celebrate Latin American culture that took place on campus May 6. “Fiesta Latina” was organized by EDLA and AS51.
“ESOL is such an important program, that helps so many of our students – new to both 51 and the community,” said Sanchez, an accounting student.
