Hello Panther Families!
My name is Tania Flores, and I am your School Parent Liaison at Bristow Run Elementary.
My role is to act as an advocate for all students and their families within the school community by connecting families in need of support with appropriate resources. Families may experience stressors at different points of life such as a child's mental health, financial struggles, language barriers, etc., and at Bristow Run we want to help alleviate some of these stressors to ensure the success of our students during their educational journey.
If you would like to connect with us, please contact me at [email protected], or call me at 571-222-9888.
A little bit about myself: I have worked as a community advocate for several years, serving as an interpreter and translator for immigrant and displaced families. It has always been a passion of mine to help others, especially when children are involved, as I believe we need to invest in our children if we want to see change in our world.
