We work together to make our school, community, and state a positive place.
We also work together to help everyone understand: Adult Education matters!

A San Mateo Adult School student team hopes to present a workshop at the CCAE Bay Section Conference on March 1, in Berkeley.
They want to help more students, staff, and schools learn the skills they need to build strong, active school communties.
ESL Morning Student Council President Marco shares this advice about
How to get people involved in the school community leadership
I like to use the San Mateo adult school as a example because it has a diverse population, people from all over the world with different languages, cultures, religions, etc..
* It's important to create an environment where everyone could feel welcomed.
* Treat them with respect, the same way we would like to be treated.
* As the leader of the students, I'm open to everyone, to listen to their opinions and concerns.
* I feel the moral responsibility to initiate or be part of that special admosphere, where students can feel appreciated, and proud to be in.
* I believe in building bridges among all people to bring them together.
* I enjoy working with, and helping those who are leaders in the school
* Encourage people to participate in decision making.
* Give them opportunity to invest time, creativity and wisdom.
* Respect their opinions, choices, even when they're different from ours.
* Thank people for their effort, contribution and suggestions.
* Share responsibilities.
* Organize recreational activities.
The advantages of working together would be:
* In the union is where the power is.
* People will be ready to act and willing to help.
* We will be better organized, among other benefits.
Thank you, Marco, for sharing this excellent advice!
