HELEN VARGAS JOYA
KATHLEEN & TIM HARNEY MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
I would like to nominate Ms. Vargas, a mariachi teacher because she consistently goes above and beyond for her students. She gives us opportunities, resources, and support that she never has to provide, yet she chooses to anyway. She invests her time, energy, and heart into helping us grow as musicians and as people. Her dedication has opened doors for us, inspired us to work harder, and made our mariachi program feel like a true community. She is the kind of teacher who changes lives, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does.
