From what I h...A well deserved recognition indeed! <br />From what I have observed as a Baileys ES parent and volunteer for about 7 years, Maria Demarest has been invaluable in connecting families to the school, as she helps parents and students navigate the system, empowers them, provides parenting classes, presentations such as internet safety, gangs, health, nutrition, manages a clothing boutique, food pantry, helps when a family loses their home in a house fire, if a parent loses their job, if they need help with immigration papers, doctors' visits, sometimes tragic family emergencies... <br />She is trusted by the families as she lends always a non-judgmental ear and hand. And amazingly she never forgets the names of former students, parents, siblings she helps with sincere warmth and encouragement. Our neighborhood has many diverse families and Maria Demarest, as other Parent Liaisons, is like a cultural ambassador among communities who otherwise may not interact with, or understand one another. She is one of the people who over the years, have made this a community school. She embodies the best in a human being!

She is instrumental in communicating the needs of both the teachers and the families in a way that ties us together. She seeks to serve others and better the community, one family at a time.

She treats everyone with respect and she has the care and concern that only a mother will show. I really enjoy the special way Sra. Demarest talks to the Hispanic young mothers. She empowers them to become more independent women and how to advocate for their children's education despite their educational level. I am honored to work at Bailey's school and work with such a compassionate woman. She is such a role model to follow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-56712050221032914802012-09-15T10:51:52.911-04:002012-09-15T10:51:52.911-04:00Ms.Maria is the best of the best with no questions...Ms.Maria is the best of the best with no questions asked!
