    Guest Post: Latino Farmworkers in East Coast Suffer the Most

    Photo Credit: La Voz Hurricane Dorian represents the destruction of property and the interruption of people’s lives all-along the east coast from Southern Florida north.  We are at peak season for the harvest and the migrant farmworker families stand to lose even more than that. It is devastation for these families that have little more than nothing and rely only on their strong backs and their belief in the work ethic to survive.  They come out of Florida in the spring and m

    East Coast Makes a Strong Impression in Washington, D.C.

    Attendees had the privilege of welcoming the newly-appointed Director of the Office of Head Start, Dr. Deborah Bergeron.  A former classroom teacher and elementary and high school administrator, Dr. B –as she likes to be called— shared how she will use her three decades of pre-K–12 public education experience to provide unique insights into how Head Start can support our most vulnerable children to become school ready.   She also talked about her recent visit to ECMHSP’s Nort
