To some love is just a word

To me it's a feeling

A feeling I get every time I look into your eyes

A feeling I get when I realize you're my mom

A mom who loves, shares,

A mom who inspires

Unconditionally What's that? That's love

A mothers love, but only you would know And me

You returned that love time and time again

Possibly to much, nevertheless you did

Thank-you

Thank-you for being there when I needed you most

For being my rock when I should have been yours

Thank-you for believing in me, even when I doubted myself

For being the one person I could trust

No matter what, no matter where

But most of all thank-you for being you-my mom

A mom I am so proud to claim

I love you Now and forever

End of the Year Report from PPEP TEC High School

Wow, what a year! The school year is almost over and during this school year the students at PPEP TEC

High School, Robles Junction Learning Center have accomplished some really great things.

The students and staff have embraced a new school schedule, new curriculum and new technology.

Through it all the students and staff have become a true TEAM. Together, the students have increase

AIMS Reading scores from 29% passing to 58.5% passing! We await the Math scores later this month and

we are anxiously waiting the great results.

This year Robles Junction Learning Center is poised to graduate a maximum of 25 students. We have al-

ready graduated eight students so far and the rest of them are finishing their credits as we speak. Gradua-

tion will be held at the Tucson Community Center Music Hall, in downtown Tucson on May 24th at 7pm.

There will be several student speakers along with a few other speakers and PPEP TEC will be awarding

four of the students of Robles Junction full-ride Pima Community College Scholarships.

As we look forward we will be offering a summer school this summer. The dates are: June 6th through the

24th. Students who need additional help in English and Math are eligible to attend. If you are a PPEP TEC

student please sign-up in the school office.

Besides graduation, we have one final event for our students. We will be having our 2nd annual End of

Year party in the park on May 19th. This year we are excited and honored that the Robles Junction Fire

Department will be providing some water fun. Thank you!!

From all of us, here at PPEP TEC High School, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your community

and honoring us with your students. We look forward to next school year and all the new opportunities

that it will provide!
