For the first time in its Catholic Schools Week celebration, Mount Carmel recognized three parents who have generously given their time and commitment to the school. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese individuals are necessary to achieving the school\u2019s mission in educating every child to see with Christ\u2019s eye,\u201d said MCS president Galvin Deleon Guerrero. <\/p>\n
Shevon Reyes, Luis Iglesias Camacho, and Edwin K. Propst received the award last Friday night at the school\u2019s Family Night. <\/p>\n
Reyes, 1997 MCS AlumKnight, is wife and mother of two. Reyes volunteers at the school\u2019s library, which \u201ctakes off an added responsibility to the teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of Reyes, the library is now open daily for students and teachers to obtain integral learning and reading resources. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was so shocked and this was unexpected,\u201d Reyes told the Saipan Tribune. \u201cI do not volunteer to be recognized, because I just want to be in the background. However, I am very happy.\u201d <\/p>\n
Camacho, the father of two current MCS students and two proud AlumKnights, said that in order for any parent to succeed with their entire family, they must be involved in their children\u2019 \u2018education. <\/p>\n
School officials shared that because of Camacho\u2019s work at the school they saved money and redirected finances to other important programs the school runs. <\/p>\n
Camacho recognized that other parents can do the work he does but simply do not have the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank Mount Carmel for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their family. I value Catholic education and it is one the few things I never had in life. The Lord gave me an extra blessing to send my kids here.\u201d<\/p>\n
His daughter, Louisa, said, \u201cI am happy for my dad. He works very hard every day, even when he is sick. I am proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
PTO president and community crusader Edwin Propst was the third recipient of the award. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am very thankful and honored to receive this recognition, but I feel the real Parents of the Year are our PTO officers, representatives, and members who are as generous as they are hardworking,\u201d Propst said. \u201cAt Mt. Carmel, we are more than just a team…we are a family.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
