Hi! I’m Andrea Rojas, a proud CCLA foundation member and mother of a 6th grader and a 3year old who will soon become part of this amazing school. I chose CCLA because it beautifully supports my goal of raising my son to be bilingual and bicultural, values that have opened so many doors in my own life. Through the foundation, I’m dedicated to fundraising so all of our children can enjoy richer extracurricular activities and extra classroom support. When I’m not volunteering, you can find me camping, cheering my son at a soccer game or enjoying a family movie night at home.

Hi, my name is Brenda and I have three children. I chose CCLA because it is a bilingual school where my children can learn my language and embrace my culture. I was a member of the charter renewal committee, and through that experience, I realized how important it is for parents to be involved in the decision-making process for the well-being of our children.
I’m excited to be part of the Foundation and to advocate for our students, support our families, and help create meaningful memories and opportunities for the children in our community.

My name is Ria Jimenez. I am excited to serve as Treasurer of the CCLA Foundation Board. With 15 years of experience in banking, I bring financial expertise and passion for supporting our students and foundation’s mission. As a proud parent of a Kindergartener and 3^rd grader, I am grateful to be a part of a community that celebrates bilingualism, cultural connection, and the success of our students. I look forward to continuing to learn and improve my Spanish as my children continue to grow. In my spare time, I enjoy going on adventures in nature with my family, and attending sporting events. I look forward to meeting you at a school event or volunteering with you to help support our students.

My name is Alma Magallón and I am a proud CCLA parent with a daughter currently in 3rd grade and a son who recently graduated after attending CCLA from kindergarten through 8th grade. I am a strong believer in CCLA’s mission of developing students who are bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural—by choice.
As a member of the CCLA Foundation Board, I am passionate about helping create memorable experiences for students by supporting fundraising efforts that provide enriching extracurricular activities and opportunities for every child to thrive.

My name is Yayi Centeno, and I am the proud parent of a son who is in first grade at CCLA and a three year old daughter who I hope joins CCLA in the future. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and children, playing soccer, hiking, and working out. I joined the Foundation because I want to be actively involved in my children’s education and serve as a voice for the students and families at CCLA. I look forward to supporting our school community and helping make a positive impact.

During my free time, I enjoy going on long walks and listening to music. I also love spending time with my family, and visiting new places together.
