The PanAmerican Insitute's School Year Update

“Please visit us to see first hand the way your support benefits kids in Tijuana, México”   

WE WERE HAPPY TO START THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR 2014-2015 WITH 76 STUDENTS!

25 first year students joined with 25 second year students and 26 third year students.

Your generous support makes education possible for our students.

We are excited to have our new school year underway. We start with new personnel: Patricia (Paty) Bautista as our principal, Elena González as Principal’s Assistant, Leticia (Lety) Bautista as secretary, Martha Yañez as guidance counselor and new teachers as well.

First day usually begins with students cleaning the school building, our cook making food for everyone and our staff working happily assuming the challenges of a new school year.

Another exciting activity is giving each student back-packs filled with school supplies, such as colored pencils, markers, pens, letter size paper and notebooks. All those items donated by our sponsors.

Several students need aid to buy their uniforms and to pay for their daily transportation to school; you can help them through the Adopt-A-Student Program! Sponsor a student with $35 per month or $420 per school year, this provides free breakfast, as needed and upon availability of funds, uniforms and bus fares.

Two Free Meals And A Snack

          Since our class schedule is 7:30 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. students need energy to do their best at school, besides breakfast paid by sponsors from the Adopt-A-Student Program, our students also receive lunch by noon and a snack. The cost of the second meal is $15 per student per month. Donations are welcome and appreciated.

Other Opportunities To Help Throughout the Year:

¬ PROVIDE ACCIDENT INSURANCE: $600 FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR.

¬ HELP STUDENTS PURCHASE THEIR DAILY UNIFORMS AT $75 EACH. OR P.E. UNIFORM AT $30 EACH, OR SCHOOL SHOES OR TENNIS SHOES AT $35 EACH.
