I say it all the time, but it’s true: the east side — especially Essex — has a heart and a strength that too many people overlook. I see it. I respect it. And I’m going to fight for it.

At Investors in Families, we believe the magic is in the everyday.
When schools are extraordinary at delivering the ordinary, families feel seen, valued, and supported. That’s where real change begins. 💛 #CommunitySchools #InvestorsInFamilies

Worth a Share.
Move beyond meetings, try Co-Design Cafés, Family Story Labs and Skills Exchanges.
These small steps build huge belonging.
When families co-create school life, everyone wins.

Ten years later, MS 50 shows what's possible. I returned to celebrate their anniversary as a community school with El Puente. The energy, student voice, and results are powerful. This is what middle school should look like. #CommunitySchools work!

Everyday leadership starts small. When families take on visible roles in school life, no matter how small, it changes the message to, 'This is our school.' #FamilyEngagement #CommunitySchools #InvestorsInFamilies
