Art: ‘Portrait of Francisco Rodriguez Mancilla’ by Jennifer Rodriguez Pelayo

This piece was part of the Ánimo Voices Competition, which invited students to write about innovators, upstanders, visionaries, or rebels that have made a difference in their local or broader communities. The competition was an opportunity to motivate, recognize, and celebrate our strong student voices through writing and art.
