Dr. Z Gives Car to Porter Grad with Perfect Attendance

BISD Superintendent Dr. Esperanza Zendejas presented a new 2015 Mazda 3 Sport Sedan that she purchased herself to Enrique Soto, a deserving Porter ECHS 2016 graduate with perfect attendance since the day he first entered school, on Friday, June 24 at the BISD Administration Building. Soto was the captain of the Porter 2016 UIL State Championship Soccer Team and has not missed a single day of school in his entire public school career. Enrique’s father is an employee at the BISD Media Center. Dr. Esperanza Zendejas has become well-acquainted with Enrique Soto since becoming Superintendent of Brownsville public schools. He is an outstanding student academically with perfect attendance and has excelled as a soccer athlete at Porter. She wanted to make her own personal contribution to his family to assist this student as he moves forward in his postsecondary studies. “This young man has touched my heart since the day I met him. I have seen his academic progress and consistent attendance and I have been impressed with his determination and resilience. I wanted to do something to support Enrique and his family. Special thanks to members of the Cardenas family and Cardenas Motors for generously contributing and assisting with this initiative,” said Dr. Zendejas.
