Wonderful 1st day as an AP! Amelia Cortes was one of the individuals that encouraged and propelled me into my leadership journey. Now I’m humbled to serve alongside her at Alice D. Contreras. Thank you! #OneFortWorth Dorene Benavidez, PhD

I walked into my office this morning to this! Everything was perfect down to all the orange. Add to this the surprise I received from Mrs. Aguilar’s and Mrs. Vasquez’s classrooms this afternoon. I am truly blessed to be here. You all mean more to me than words can express!

I’ve been overwhelmed this week at the gestures of appreciation. I was out of my office this afternoon and walked in to find out that my amazing Executive Director Dorene Benavidez, PhD had stopped by to treat me with cookies! I ate two on the way home!
