The Reading Ambassadors held their fourth and final session of the series with a festive, heart-filled graduation celebration that beautifully embodied the mission of WEC and the FACES team: fostering community connection and creating inclusive, supportive environments where families can grow through the joy of reading.

The Reading Ambassadors Program met for its third session on June 10th and, once more, the evening was filled with joy, enthusiasm, and community connections.

WEC at Fifteen:  A Retrospective is the first of two publications about our organization that together will review what we have accomplished and look ahead at what is to come in this continuing work. 

Dr. Rachel Monárrez is a true educator—one who knows that teaching and learning are not about compliance, but about transformation; one who understands that the work of the schools is not just about the children, but also the adults; one who is confident that the work on behalf of our children is not only about what happens during the school day, but the shared responsibility of the entire community.

The Reading Ambassadors Program met for its second session on May 27th and, once more, the evening was filled with warmth, laughter, and connection.

The Worcester School Committee recently selected Brian Allen as the newest Superintendent of the Worcester Public Schools. WEC is excited to work with Mr. Allen to support the students of this district. To help the public become more familiar with Mr. Allen, we asked him to submit answers to a series of questions

The inaugural meeting took place on Monday, May 5th, and it was a fantastic experience welcoming the parents.

WEC hosted a breakfast on Thursday, May 8, that brought together leaders from the Worcester School District and from Worcester community-based organizations with members of the Worcester legislative delegation.
