Have you ever wondered how schools get their names? Names like George Washington, Martin Luther King, and César Chávez?  This is the story of how the Jaime Dávila Elementary School received its name.

This inspiring biographic tale details Jaime’s accomplishments and successes.  We discover that he was a real person, just like you or me.  He excelled in school and struggled to achieve his dreams, becoming a role model for his family and his community in the process.

The story is intertwined with anecdotes that demonstrate rich family traditions such as his sister’s quinceañera and his desire to always help the Hispanic community.
