"Zapata Elementary Celebrates Special Visit from Board Member Jessica Ochoa" Zapata Elementary was honored to receive a special visit from one of our board members, Jessica Ochoa! During her visit, our Character Kids CEOs—Dilan Hernandez, Adelynn Zapata, Camyla Briceno, and Sebastian Lumbreras—presented her with a small gift as a token of appreciation. The students also took a moment to speak heartfelt words to welcome her. To make the day even more special, Mr. Pepito’s choir students serenaded her with two beautiful songs in the library. It was a memorable occasion, and we are grateful for her time and support! #ZapataElementary #CommunitySupport #CharacterKids #ThankYouJessicaOchoa#lajoyaisd #ljisd
