Guillermo Altamirano for Harlandale ISD, District 5

My kids love summer time because it means sleeping in more, and trips to the coast and the lake and times to spend with friends and family. 🚴‍♀️🏖 But you want to know why I get excited about summer? Lol. Every kid of mine gets a promotion to more challenging chores around the house. LOL. 😏😄👏

Summertime means an opportunity for further growth as they get older. So whether it's learning how to mow the lawn, how to wash clothes or dishes. Or a simple responsibility like making sure the refrigerator is always full with water bottles. It's their growth I look forward to the most.

I know many parents can relate! What do you and your kids look forward to the most during their summer vacation? 😎🏈🌞🏀

What a year! 😄

Another one in the books for many teachers. And another one in the books for our kiddos, parents and guardians. I want to thank all teachers everywhere for your continued dedication to our children's future! Our children go as far as you help guide them. But now it's your turn to take and enjoy a great long break!

To all of you, enjoy your summer vacations! 🏖😎🫶

You deserve it! 🙏🙌💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

I am proud of myself for putting myself out there and meeting many like minded community members who expressed love & support and who have so much pride for our beloved . I also want to keep encouraging you all to continue getting involved in our children's schools and become a voice for others!

You want a strong voice in the community who cares? You want a parent who knows and understands the obstacles your child may face in schools today? I drop off and pick up my kids everyday. Parents, teachers, and community members continue to express the need for positive change. I am here! Ready, capable, and committed to my community! 🙋‍♂️ Inspire change! Together, we can!

Reminder: This Friday, April 7 & next Monday, April 10 all campuses and district offices will be closed for Easter Break. Have a fun and safe 4 day weekend!

*STEM ECHS will resume classes on Monday, April 10.

This weekend I got two separate calls from two different HISD teachers. Both whom I've known for many years. The first one told me "I'm glad you decided to run, we need you" and wished me the best of luck in my campaign. 🙌 The other one, was from a teacher who wanted to share with me that "enough is enough, I cant do this anymore" and shared it was time for her to move on to another district. 😞

Now as difficult as it is to hear this and try not to feel some sort of emotions when I get these notifications is hard. But the reality is we have a lot of work to do. Our teachers and staff need more transparency and consistent support! If elected I look forward to bringing our district teachers concerns and obstacles to the front of our priorities. We go as far as our teachers and staff can take us. We need to make sure teachers concerns are addressed and relationships are fostered. Early voting is around the corner! April 24th-May 2nd and Election Day is on May 6th!
