 self-sacrifice and social justice. Then, in the afternoon, students are to 
 engage in some form of public service appropriate for their age and grade 
 called the Cesar Chavez Day of Service of Learning. \n\n“The Cesar E.

 do on or a round March 31 – his birthday and acts as a primer for 
 learning”, said, Aguilera, also the conference coordinator, “We ask 
 parents, students, educators and business and community leaders to come out 
 and volunteer their time to teach and learn from each other on both 
 days.” \n\nWorkshops for parents, students, educators and business and
