Hello Parents/Guardians, My name is Hope Lyons, and I am excited for my new role as a Parent Ambassador. I enjoy planning events, baking, and road trips with my family. I am currently working for Modesto City Schools as a paraprofessional in Special Education with the Resource department. I have worked for MCS for over twelve years. I was also a PHAST (Protecting Health and Slamming Tobacco) club mentor for ten years. It is important for our young scholars to have mentors in their lives that they can look up to. I am very passionate about helping others, and excited to share that I will be growing with Modesto City Schools as a new Parent Ambassador. I am ready to help parents/guardians in providing information, guidance and resources related to your child’s education and well-being. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have at Lyons.Ho@mcs4kids.com or at (209) 850-1093.
