🎉What an incredible evening at our Back-to-School Social! 🎉


Our CALAS Back-to-School Social on Friday (9/18/26) brought together educators, leaders, community partners, and friends from near and far for an evening filled with connection, celebration, and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a tremendous success. Your energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to advancing Latino leadership made the evening truly special.

A special thank-you to our generous sponsor, Benchmark Education, for supporting this event and the mission of CALAS. We are especially grateful to Merri Minnich and Marjie Sullivan for your support, partnership, and for joining us in person to celebrate! Thank you as well for providing the wonderful raffle items—they were a huge hit, and the lucky winners were thrilled!

Enjoy this look back at some of the memorable moments we shared!
