Our Children Have Unlimited Potential

This year, preparing for the new school year wasn’t just about one day; it was a whole community campaign designed to support families in every way they need. Over the weeks leading up to July 26, we hosted workshops focused on health, literacy, attendance, and mental health, reaching dozens of families both virtually and in person.  

At this year’s CAN graduation, Bachman Lake families celebrated the power of parent leadership and early learning, as two generations crossed the stage together—reminding us that when families lead, communities thrive.

Bachman Lake Together (BLT) is proud to welcome four exceptional leaders to its Board of Directors: Angelica Leveroni Gomez, María del Carmen Hernández, Leslie Garner, and Yosira Rodriguez.

Our annual back-to-school fair ‘A Successful Start’ held on July 27, 2024, brought together over 376 family and community members to Bachman Lake Together with a shared commitment to learning and preparation for a new school year.

Thursday, June 13, marked a memorable occasion for Bachman Lake Together (BLT) as we celebrated the culmination of a unique and inspiring collaboration. Parent leaders in our Community Action Network, in partnership with the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), unveiled their individual art pieces crafted in response to the thought-provoking exhibition "When You See Me". This special exhibition, hosted by the DMA Center for Creative Connections (C3), sheds light on the narratives of underrepresented communities, inviting reflection and dialogue on inclusion and representation.

At the Better Block @ Bachman Lake Grand Opening on Saturday, June 1, we celebrated the power of placemaking, strategic partnerships and community voice.

At Bachman Lake Together's annual Community Action Network (CAN) graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 16, we celebrated the achievements of two generations – parent leaders and preschool graduates from the Bachman Lake community.

In partnership with Bachman Lake Together, Lumin Education, and The Dallas Foundation, the Better Block Foundation is collaboratively working to re-envision part of the parking lot adjacent to the joint Bachman Lake Together/Lumin Education campus.
