THANK YOU SAN JOAQUIN FOR THIS OUTSTANDING ANNUAL EVENT. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THIS NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

CASCWA SAN JOAQUIN SECTION RECOGNIZES JOHNNY GONZALEZ!

The editors of the Intercom have asked each section to recognize for the Intercom one member of their executive board for their contributions to the CASCWA organization. San Joaquin's Section has chosen Mr. Johnny Gonzales for this honor!

Mr. Johnny Gonzalez a resident of Sanger, CA and the Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance in the Sanger Unified School District.

Johnny is our newly elected Treasurer of the San Joaquin section. We, much like the students of Sanger Unified, have had the privilege of benefiting from Johnny’s experiences growing up as a student in Sanger Unified and for the past 16 years giving back to the community by raising attendance awareness and meeting the needs of students.

Johnny has had multiple roles during his time in Sanger, working as an After School Program teacher, substitute teaching, and coaching high school boys’ and girls’ basketball. He later spent five years as an English teacher at Sanger High School and eventually took over as assistant principal. His desire to work with students facing many challenges then led him to become the alternative education principal at Sanger Community Day School. Three years later he had the honor and privilege to return to his old elementary school to become principal, and he now serves as the Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance.

He has been involved in CASCWA as a member since his alternative education principal days 8-9 years ago. Dr. Dennis Weichmann challenged him to learn the ropes before joining CASCWA, and he now has the honor of being the section’s treasurer.

A highlight from last year and during the pandemic has been the enduring comradery between the members of the CASCWA San Joaquin section. The following quote comes directly from Johnny:

“I was able to lean on the guidance of Nunie (Praxades Torres) from Parlier Unified, Sharma Uma from Stanislaus County Office of Education and Dr. Kevin Torosian who is newly retired and serves as the CASCWA State President.”

He writes to the Intercom:

“There was so much wealth of knowledge from them all that as my anxiety rose with whether or not I could do the job as CWA, they allowed me words of wisdom to take a day at a time. For that teamwork, there are no more words that could be extended as gratitude other than saying thank you!”

The future of the San Joaquin section is in good hands with contributors and leaders like Johnny Gonzalez.

THANK YOU SAN JOAQUIN SECTION

On behalf of the staff of the Intercom and all the webmasters, we wish to the leadership of the San Joaquin Section for starting off the 2021-22 school year with this excellent and important workshop! The topics were relevant and the presenters were excellent.

On a personal note, we wish to thank Praxades Torres and the entire San Joaquin Section for their commitment to our CASCWA members and friends.

Their workshops and other activities are relevant to today's challenges in the world of child protective services!

Keep up the great work!
