State Award for BISD Volunteer

Eloisa Mireles, a parent volunteer at Burns Elementary and Vela Middle School, has been selected for recognition as a Hero for Children by the State Board of Education (SBOE). Ms. Mireles, who has volunteered in BISD for over 20 years, is one of 15 volunteers who will be honored at the SBOE meeting on Friday, September 20 in Austin, Texas. She will receive a certificate and resolution. Mireles began volunteering while her children attended school and continued after they left. She has served on numerous district and campus committees, assisted as an office receptionist, prepared materials for teachers, recruited new families/volunteers, and performed many other duties that benefit students. Her contagious enthusiasm, responsible attitude, friendly demeanor, and professional manner have made Eloisa Mireles a role model for all volunteers. Congratulations to her and our many other BISD parents who generously donate their time each year.
