Meet Kathi Barese, Danbury Public School Mentor for Three Decades Written by Ellen Meyst
DSABC Mentor Celebrates 30 Years of Service
Kathi Barese has been mentoring Danbury Public School students for 30 years. When she first learned about the Danbury Student and Business Connection (DSABC) mentor program from a fellow coworker and mentor, she knew she wanted to participate.
Barese shared that she is the kind of person who looks to help others, especially younger people. “Whatever experience you can share with somebody, will help them to think differently or open their mind a little,” said Barese.
Barese’s passion and commitment to helping others have shaped her into a role model for students as a mentor and substitute teacher at Henry Abbott Technical High School. Past mentees have described her as kind, helpful, patient, encouraging and easy to talk to.
Why did Sen. Kushner vote against us?
Latinos for Educational Advocacy and Diversity know that the path to achieving the American dream is through access to a quality education that prepares our children with the skills they need to be successful in the careers of their choice. Given the need to increase funding and opportunities across the board in Danbury Public Schools, why did State Sen. Julie Kushner vote to block a bill that would provide another $13 million in funding to our city’s schools?
When we heard about SB 948, a bill to address education funding and racial equity in Connecticut, we were ecstatic. This bill was championed by the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus as well as co-sponsored by our very own Danbury Rep. David Arconti. We thank Representative Arconti for his leadership and for standing to invest in public education.
