CALSA Summer Institute 2025

Join us as we conclude Summer Institute 2025 with a powerful and heartfelt closing session featuring keynote speaker Dr. Elizabeth J. Blanco of Pasadena Unified School District. A visionary leader and advocate for equity in education, Dr. Blanco will help us reflect on our journey, reignite our purpose, and plant the seeds for the work ahead.
We’ll honor the spirit of Somos Semillas, recognizing the growth we’ve nurtured together and the futures we continue to cultivate. This final gathering will include a traditional breakfast of pozole and menudo, and a vibrant student performance by the Ballet Folklorico from Chula Vista Elementary School District, celebrating culture, resilience, and comunidad.
Let us close this year’s institute in gratitude and unity, knowing the seeds we’ve planted will flourish in the lives of the students and communities we serve.
