Today, active Army member Mark Zapata made a special stop in Laredo before his upcoming deployment. His visit was not just any visit; it was a surprise for his beloved sister, Kiliana Zapata. As Mark walked through the door, Kiliana's eyes welled up with tears of joy at the unexpected reunion with her brother.
Moments like these remind us of the sacrifices our military members make and the deep connections that bind families together. Mark's surprise visit was a beautiful reminder of the love and support that surround our brave servicemen and women.
On behalf of M.B. Lamar Middle School students and staff, Dr. Eduardo Lopez wishes Mark a safe and successful deployment. The Mighty Lions also send their warmest regards to Kiliana and their family as they cherish this precious time together before he heads off on his next mission.
A big shout out and thank you to all of our parents that attended Meet the Teacher Night last night at M.B. Lamar Middle School! We are so fortunate to have such dedicated parents who understand the importance of working together to nurture student academic success!
